Do you think you are too young to worry? Habits that can harm your health at 30.

Many people think that they have time to quit smoking, heavy drinking or other unhealthy habits, but new studies suggest that damage can start much earlier than expected. Although it is never too late to change, scientists now warn that these flaws may begin to influence your health in 36.

For those who still postpone the decision to make a healthy lifestyle, the latest test Published in the journal Annals of Medicine, it can be open.

“Non-infectious diseases, such as heart disease and cancer, cause almost three quarters of deaths around the world. But by following a healthy lifestyle, the individual can reduce the risk of developing these diseases and reduce the chances of early death,” said the main author of Dr. Tiia Kekäläinen in A press release.

Scientists have followed the physical and mental health of hundreds of people for over 30 years and found how risky habits, such as smoking, heavy drinking and lack of exercise, can seriously affect their health, often earlier than one could expect.

The analysis showed that people with all three unhealthy habits: smoking, heavy drinking and inaction, had much worse physical and mental health compared to those who avoided them.

After the examination, each habit individually took a unique toll. While the lack of exercise was strongly associated with inferior physical health, smoking was mainly associated with worse mental health, and heavy drinking was associated with a decrease in both. A more shocking disclosure was the health effects that began to show before people achieved their mid -1930s.

In the study, she also noticed that the more unhealthy habits people had – and the longer they kept them – the worse their health was. Over time, these habits affected their mental well -being, worse health self -esteem and accumulation of metabolic risk factors that can lead to chronic diseases.

“Our findings emphasize the importance of coping with risky health behavior, such as smoking, severe drinking and physical inaction, as is possible to prevent the damage to growing over the years, ending with poor mental and physical health later in later life,” said Dr. Kekäläinen.
