 　　AVOID PROCESSED FOOD ADDITIVES¹

　　拒绝食物添加剂

　　The bacteria in our bodies outnumber our cells by ten times. Collectively, they are called our microbiome and it turns out to have a sweeping² say in whether we live robustly³ to a ripe old age.

　　SHARE MORE CUDDLES

　　多多拥抱

　　If you want to optimise your immune defences, hugging could be key. Like a magic wand, human touch has the power to change our heart rate, lower blood pressure and cortisol levels, spark the release of feel-good chemicals in the brain and stimulate⁸ the hippocampus - the area that regulates memory.

　　若要提高免疫防御能力，拥抱是关键。如同魔术棒，接触能提高心率、降低血压和肾上腺皮质醇，激发头脑释放令人感觉良好的化学物质并刺激海马区（即管理记忆力的区域）。

　　CUT BACK ON VITAMINS

　　减少维生素摄入

　　Don't underestimate over-the-counter medications. Popular non-steroidal anti-inflammatory painkillers⁹ can increase risk of heart attack and stroke with regular use.

　　不要低估非处方药的作用，常见的非类固醇类抗炎症止痛药若经常使用，可能会增加心脏病和中风的风险。

　　AVOID FRIENDS WHO UPSET YOU

　　远离让你心烦的朋友

　　Tracking changing daily moods can help you to better understand why symptoms occur and avoid things that trigger low mood.

　　记录每日心情的变化可以帮助你理解理解缘何症状会发生、避免接触会引发情绪低落的事物。

　　THROW OUT YOUR ALARM CLOCK

　　扔掉闹钟

　　One of sleep's most important roles involves helping¹⁰ the brain to set our hormonal¹¹ balance. This includes hormones¹² that control appetite, help us manage stress and fight infections, rekindle¹³ our fat-burning systems and renew skin and bones.

　　睡眠的主要作用之一在于帮助大脑保持激素平衡，包括调整胃口、调节压力、抗感染、激活燃脂体系以及更新肌肤和骨骼。

　　WALK DAILY FOR A LONGER LIFE

　　每天走一走，活得更长寿

　　It need not be strenuous¹⁴ - walking counts. Studies associate muscular strength with wide-ranging health benefits, such as lower blood pressure, lower diabetes¹⁵ risk and better cholesterol¹⁶ levels.

　　也不需要多耗费力气，走走就可以。研究发现肌肉力量对健康大有裨益，如降血压、降低糖尿病风险和改善胆固醇水平。
