Your DNA can influence how long you live, but it’s still worth leading a healthy life, according to new research. In the first study of its kind, scientists explored whether the negative impact of genetics on life expectancy could be reduced by a healthy lifestyle. Habits to extend life include regular exercise, a healthy diet, no smoking and getting enough sleep.

If you want to prolong your life, you should make tweaks on your lifestyle in order to offset genetics.

Over the past time, I often go to bed until midnight. I should tweak my sleep time to offset my health and mind to be healthier, resulting in my prolonged life expectancy.

George tried to prolong eating his tuna and cucumber sandwich, but he loved tuna and cucumber sandwiches so much he couldn't help himself. He ate it but didn't like the new type of canned tuna he bought. George tweaked the recipe and changed the tuna to the old type. The old tuna was saltier, and it offsets the bland cucumber. The tweak did the trick! The sandwich tasted very nice after!

3:58 what does bring something back up mean?

@bbclearningenglish 14 күн бұрын

'Bring something back up' means to increase something again after it has been decreased. Georgie says 'If your genes might reduce your life expectancy, living healthily might actually help to bring that life expectancy back up.' So, in this example your life expectancy is lower than average because of your genes. However, you can increase your life expectancy again (bring your life expectancy back up) by living a healthy lifestyle.

Why did you dismiss your BBC English Learning App from the Play store?

@bbclearningenglish 13 күн бұрын

The BBC has taken the decision to close the app to simplify and improve its offer to its audiences. We are sorry if this is disappointing news. You can still access content from the BBC’s learning English team via our website, social media, You Tube Channel and Podcasts.

Offset=compensate=make up for=nullify=refund ?

@jeancena3556 13 күн бұрын

Heres a little more detail for the nuances offset= put off compensate= make up for, to turn something from unequal in worth-> equal in worth nullify= to turn something into nothing of importance. Null=zero, so you make something zero. But “nullify” doesnt involve numbers. Its more like: “I do not need to call the cops, the problem has been nullified” Refund= to pay back, only used with money Just to be clear, probably the only words you hear from that group are: compensate, make up for, refund
