The secret to living the longest in the world

New scientific studies reaffirmed that, if not endowed with the gene "living for a hundred years ," people can still prolong their lives, even reaching the highest age record in the world thanks to a healthy lifestyle and moderation.

According to the British Independent newspaper, Antisa Khvichava, who claimed to have lived to 132, died in Sachino, a small Georgian village, after 47 years of retirement. If Mrs. Khvichava is as old as she says, she will be the longest-lived person ever.

Although birth certificates and passports clearly state that Ms. Khvichava was born on July 8, 1880, they are only documents to replace what 'misery' has done for years. This raises doubts about Khvichava's own statement.

However, science does not rule out Khvichava's life as 132 years old as true. If the maximum life expectancy limit of humans exists, no one has ever found it.

In 1978, the oldest person confirmed at that time died at age 103, according to the Geriatric Research Organization. In 1997, Jeanne Calment, a French citizen, who is now recognized as the longest living on Earth, passed away when he turned 122.

If indeed Ms. Kvichava was born in 1880, she deserves to be credited with keeping the record for the longest life in the world. The question is: How did Mrs. Kvichava create miracles?

According to contemporary science, the answer may be: in addition to avoiding obvious physical threats, Ms. Kvichava does not need much effort to be present on Earth for more than a century.

Researchers from the Albert Einstein School of Medicine, Yeshiva University (USA) announced last year that, in a group of research subjects, who are 95 years older and older, healthy habits such as smoking, Drinking alcohol, poor nutrition and lack of exercise are as common as other normal people. That implies, their longevity seems to be mainly due to genes.

However, this does not mean that people should abandon a healthy lifestyle and accept the fate gene theory. Instead, the study, like many other studies, revealed that people with outstanding lifespans like Ms. Kvichava, who had a habit of drinking alcohol daily, were endowed with rare gene protection. , help them overcome the harmful effects of unhealthy living habits to live a hundred years.

For those who do not bet on their ability to own genes that help live more than 100 years of age, a healthy lifestyle and moderation can help prolong life.
