Life expectancy depends not only on genetics, reiterated the researchers. Experts are convinced: even if heredity is “pumped up”, a healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition can help not only sick, but also to live long.
In particular, one of the scientifically proven ways to increase life expectancy, no-cost, is limiting the number of calories consumed in adulthood. That method works, were able to see scientists from two U.S. research centers, the National Primate research center in Wisconsin and the National Institute of aging in Dickerson. They found that caloric restriction diet reduces the risk of dying from cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
Scientists experimented with monkeys. Those individuals who were transferred to a low-calorie diet in adulthood lived on average two to four years longer than others – some even said last year that about one and a half times more lifespan in primates in captivity. Experts believe that this principle applies to humans.
Another way to extend the life of the researchers believe that regular intermittent fasting. Not too long-term refusal of food lightens the load and thus prolongs the active mitochondrial function, existence and integrity themselves of the cells of the body, – this fact was confirmed by the study, researchers from the Harvard school of public health named after Chang’s in Boston.
British scientists, in turn, proved that man helps to live longer education and erudition. According to experts, higher education as a whole contributes to a deeper awareness of its existence and less dependence on unhealthy habits. Every year in College or University adds to a man eleven months of life, claim scientists.
In addition, canadian scientists from McMaster University was named one of the most effective mechanisms of longevity physical education – physical activity and exercise. People who spend on physical exercise a minimum of half an hour a day or walk a lot, much less likely to experience cardiovascular disease and this is less susceptible to the likelihood of dying from a heart attack or stroke, said researchers from Canada.
Finally, soon finally cease to be a fantastic idea to stop age pills. In August, scientists from the University of Minnesota in the US found that a mixture of two of Sinaiticus (cancer drug dasatinib plus flavanoid quercetin) allows a 65 percent reduction in the risk of premature death due to its ability to destroy defective cells and reduce inflammation in the body.
