Of course, you know that dancing prolongs life. More precisely, that an active lifestyle prolongs it. But we think we’ll surprise you now. With what? Imagine, statistics.
First, just a few serious words, and then we’ll explain what this is all about.
So. Experts have studied the causes of premature mortality from the diseases that most often lead to death: diabetes, atherosclerosis, heart disease, neoplasms, cirrhosis of the liver and diseases of the brain. And looked at how life expectancy for people suffering from these diseases is affected by 4 factors: health care, heredity, environment, and lifestyle.
What do you think the statistics showed?
It turned out that life expectancy is least affected by … health care. Yeah, imagine that. Only 11%.
Environment came in third: 16%.
Genetic factors came in second: 25%.
But our life expectancy is 48% dependent on our lifestyle.
Can you imagine? The lifestyle we lead, the way we spend our free time, is more than 4 times more important than medicine! And almost twice as important as heredity!
In other words, a healthy lifestyle is the dominant factor in premature mortality, accounting for almost half of all premature deaths. Just imagine: millions of people around the world shorten their lives because of the wrong way of living.
That’s it, no more sad stuff! Let’s enjoy dancing and the realization of how useful and healing this beautiful activity is for us. Enjoy both your successes and your mistakes, enjoy both the excitement and excitement, overcome yourself, and communicate with like-minded people – all these components, together with physical activity, not only give us a good mood, but also prod life.
