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.

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.
Thank you for the lesson!❤️
Thank you for lesson
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 :)
I just love the way they teach❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
Th.ese tips really work out
Thank you, BBC. Neil and Georgie - my favorite teachers

Topics and their way of teaching are amazing as usual but I think the duration of their conversation to explain sth more well should be lenghten thanx a lot
This lesson is also clear for me. And with that I have said all because I'm Italian. Thanks a lot for your efforts.

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.

Georgia really is beautiful!
Woooo
Neil looks great with beard!!!!
If you want to prolong you life, you should make tweaks on your lifestyle in order to offset genetics.
Time will tell whether the chemotherapy treatments and injections can prolong my life. I need to make some tweaks so that I can make the most of my time despite being a busy patient.
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.
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 .
its first time i can understand what did they say
🙌
A tweak in your daily habits can have you prolong yours life time
Prolong=delay=put off=push back=adjourn=deferring=postpone ? 🤦 Will I see ultimate milestone of these words?
👌👌👍👍👏👏👏👏
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
Georgia is the most beautiful woman on this youtube channel.
I run a youtube channel to help english learners to immerse themselves into English
