If you want to live long, you should not marry young.

Shopping, drinking coffee and not marrying a much younger man are ways women can prolong their lives.

In the world, women generally live longer than men. Besides diet and exercise, there are many other ways to help women prolong their lives. Below are 5 tips for longevity that women should refer to, listed by Medical Daily.

Have children

A recent study by Swedish scientists published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health showed that women who have children before the age of 60 tend to live longer than their peers who have never been mothers. Previously, the group of authors analyzed data from more than 1.5 million volunteers born in the early 1900s and found that 60-year-old women who had children had an additional 24.6 years of life expectancy, while 60-year-old women who did not have children lived an additional 23.1 years.

Shopping

A 2011 study of elderly Taiwanese women found that women who shopped daily had a 27% lower risk of death than those who shopped less. The authors note that this benefit may not be related to financial issues but rather to helping to dispel loneliness and increase physical activity (walking).

Drink coffee

According to the Annals of Internal Medicine, women who regularly drink coffee avoid the possibility of dying early. Specifically, drinking at least 2 cups of coffee a day reduces the risk of death from heart disease by 25%. However, scientists say more research is needed to confirm this conclusion.

Long term relationship

Married men are generally healthier than single men. For women, this is not necessarily true. An article in The Daily Telegraph suggests that a long-term relationship does not necessarily require marriage to bring women happiness and health benefits.

Marital age

Studies show that men who marry much younger women tend to live longer. However, the Max Planck Institute for Demography (Germany) concluded that women who marry much younger men have a lower life expectancy.
