What the Russian portal claims

Mail.ru lists four areas: technology, proper nutrition, thoughtful hobbies, and an active social life. According to the text, these can extend life by ten years if health care starts early (Три неочевидные привычки, которые помогут продлить жизнь на 10 лет - Новости Mail – mail.ru). The comments for RBC Life were prepared by health coach and nutritionist Aleksandra Łysenkowa and general practitioner Swietłana Burnacka from the Academician Rojtberg clinic.

Genetics is not everything

According to a review published in PubMed Central, about 25% of the differences in lifespan are due to genes. The remaining factors, primarily lifestyle and environment, account for the rest. The text recommends healthy eating, sufficient physical activity, avoiding addictive substances, regular preventive check-ups, and looking after mental well-being and social contacts.

What Polish media do not confirm

The ten-year figure from the mail.ru text is not given by the review cited. Medonet, a Polish portal, wrote about a similar thesis but with a different number: 14 years. The figure in the headline does not derive from any cited study. The review the author refers to concerns the influence of genes and lifestyle in general, without quantifying the effect on lifespan.

Before changing habits, it is worth talking to your family doctor, who can assess your health and plan tests.
