When people talk about health, wellness, fitness, what they are really hoping for is to have a long life. Nobody wants to get old. It is a human desire not to get old or extend life and live beyond 150 years old. All these profound discussions about immortality have yet to make its mark. The human body is the most complex system ever created. Longevity is largely dependent upon genetics. That is if your family members lived for a long time, chances are you will live longer too.

It was discovered that there are essential vitamins required to maintain good health that cannot be manufactured in the body. These same vitamins can prevent disease from developing, make us feel better. Aging, cancer, stem cells, tissue reengineering, cloning are the stuff of the modern day.. They reflect some of humankind’s most ancient hopes and fears. But the most important thing is prevent disease from developing, make us feel better and slow the aging process itself.

Here are the interesting secrets of long life and cutting-edge tips on how to take care of your health and live longer.

• Good Nutrition - Have the best nutrition and an attentive and tender loving care during illnesses. It should also be taken into consideration that psychological health is far more important than physical health for maintaining well-being in later life.

• Sleep - Quality sleep is essential for repairing daily cell damage, which over time could lead to cancer and breakdown of organ function. Too much sleep, however, might be worse than not enough. I have read that excess sleep can lead to depression, sloth and mental inactivity — proven impediments to long life

• Smart Habits - After good genes, smart habits might be the single most important longevity factor. Fruits, vegetables and unprocessed carbohydrates such as rice should make up most of your diet. Go easy on the red meat, protein should come mostly from fish or legumes. Moderate consumption of alcohol is good for your health. Daily consumption of a glass of wine, beer or any other kind of alcohol can significantly reduce the risk of coronary disease and heart attack.

• Exercise - Walking is particularly good for maintaining fit abdominal muscles. A regular exercise not only helps to maintain joint resilience, flexibility and balance but it also keeps the cardiovascular system healthy and the mind alert. In one published study, participants with weak abs suffered a higher death rate.

• Sex - For those men who ejaculated for less than once a month, have at least two orgasms per week. But please be reminded that increase in sexual activity, however, does not mean that swinging singles have any advantage over their coupled counterparts. Just a little piece of advice, limit sex within the context of marriage.

Everyone is absolutely fascinated with aging. We try our best to reduce the symptoms of aging and delay it as long as we can. I believe that our focus must be to live better, get healthy and fit and enjoy every minute of it. And so… enjoy a longer, richer and more fulfilling Life.
