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.
good idea
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.
Thanks so much. I'm really interested in this lesson.
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!
😆 Great examples :)

If you want to prolong you life, you should make tweaks on your lifestyle in order to offset genetics.
It is useful and informative news
Prolong offset
Georgia really is beautiful!
3:58 what does bring something back up mean?
'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.
I prolonged my study period today to offset my yesterday's absence in lecture and made some tweaks in my time table.

Why did you dismiss your BBC English Learning App from the Play store?
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.
Some work are very important to complete on time. So i cant prolong my routine.
Neil looks great with beard!!!!
I need to tweak my diet today to offset the calories I ate yesterday. I want to prolong my time being fit.
Thank you for teaching. By the way did Neil sack Beth by any chance cuz he hadn't been invited to her birthday party? She's been M.I.A since. I am kinda worried. From south korea.
Ha! Don't worry Beth is still with us and hasn't been sacked :)!
@@bbclearningenglish What a relief .
A tweak in your daily habits can have you prolong yours life time
its first time i can understand what did they say
🙌
❤❤
Prolong=delay=put off=push back=adjourn=deferring=postpone ? 🤦 Will I see ultimate milestone of these words?
❤❤❤💕
Georgia is the most beautiful woman on this youtube channel.
👌👌👍👍👏👏👏👏
Offset=compensate=make up for=nullify=refund ?
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
