Doctors Named the Most Important Factor for Longevity 0 6

Sufficient sleep is more significant for longevity than many other factors, a study has shown. Doctors referred to research by experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), who concluded that chronic sleep deprivation shortens life.

It is clarified that in terms of health risks, this factor is second only to smoking. Researchers believe that proper sleep affects lifespan more than nutrition, physical activity, and social connections.

As doctors explained, chronic lack of sleep negatively impacts the cardiovascular system, immunity, and also worsens cognitive functions. Specialists assured that sufficient sleep is the strongest and most accessible tool for preventing premature aging.
