When it comes to our daily habits, there are things we all know we need to work on whether it's getting a better nights sleep, eating healthier or getting out for walks - but we don't always do this.Longevity is influenced by a variety of factors including genetics, lifestyle choices, environmental factors, access to healthcare, socioeconomic status, and cultural practices.However while genetics play a significant role in determining our lifespan, lifestyle factors including our diet, exercise, stress management, social connections as well as preventive healthcare measures also have a profound impact on longevity.Dr Mohammed Enayat - GP and Founder of HUM2N, a longevity clinic in London - said this holistic approach to longevity emphasises the importance of maintaining physical, mental, and emotional well-being as people age with the goal of maximising both lifespan and healthspan.

He added: “There are several things you can do daily to extend and enhance your life."So what can you do daily if you want to live longer.

Here a few things that Enayat does, according to the Express.Intermittent fasting and calorie restriction may help to regulate metabolism, reduce inflammation, and improve cellular autophagy and renewal.Dr Enayat said: “Studies show these practices can increase lifespan in animal models and the principles are likely similar in humans.

Intermittent fasting has been shown to improve various markers of metabolic health, such as insulin sensitivity, blood sugar levels, and lipid profiles."By reducing the frequency of eating periods, intermittent fasting can help regulate glucose metabolism and reduce the risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, which are factors associated with longevity.
