Kicking these habits can help you live longer. A habit is something that you do regularly. While exercise or having a healthy diet are god things, smoking or drinking too much alcohol are bad things. What is “kick”? You can kick something away like football, but what is “kick a habit?” You had better think of the literal action of kick. If you kick a football, then you move it out of your way, possibly quite quickly and violently. So if you kick a bad habit, which is like smoking or drinking too much alcohol, then your metaphorically forcing it away from you. That’s that you’re stopping a habit. When you want to talk about something that you really want to stop doing, we use ‘kick’ and ‘habit’ together very regularly. For example, I’m trying to stop eating as much chocolate, but I haven’t quite kicked the habit yet. I really want to kick the habit of checking my phone all the time. And it’s a really bad thing. I want to kick that habit.
2,These Habits May Help to Extend Your Longevity By Decades
‘Longevity’ is a noun and it means living for a long time. So this headline is saying that having these habits will make you live longer. But there is another meaning to longevity. If something is popular or useful for a longtime, we an say that it has longevity. For example, flexible working could be important for longevity in a job. It means that people will want to stay in their job loner if it’s flexible.
3,Adopting eight simple healthy habits could help increase your lifespan by decades, a survey finds
This headline is saying you can achieve ‘longevity’, by adopting these habits. ‘Adopt’ can be when you take responsibility for something, like kitten. For example, there was a kitten living in our street and it didn’t have a home, so we brought it into our home to live. We adopted it. If it’s child, that is a legal process- you adopted aa child. And that idea is the same as in the headline with ‘adopt’. It means taken and now belongs to you. So this headline is saying that you can take these healthy habits and apply them to yourself. And also you can adopt a new approach. For example, I watched a documentary about being vegetarian. Could I say that I have adopted a new diet? It means you’d just say I’ve changed my diet.
