9 steps on the path to eternal life

Long life is impossible without the health and health - without our efforts. In what direction to move to eternal life, which the new developments and proven techniques centuries help us come closer to immortality?

1. Talk to your doctor

Be aware of disease prevention and pass regular inspections. Prepare in advance information about their medical history: it will help to make better use of the visit to the doctor. A thorough physical examination by a doctor can provide a lot of valuable information.

Examination of the complex involves the measurement of not only height and weight, but also the volume of muscle and fat in the body. Make analysis of the mineral composition of hair, vitamin levels of free radicals, expanded examination of the cardiovascular system, as well as genetic testing.

If it is possible to detect coronary atherosclerosis at an early stage and to continue to take active measures for its treatment, in most cases, a heart attack can be avoided. Treatment of (and often a complete cure) cancer occurs more easily when it is detected early - before he will be able to spread throughout the body.

2. Take a look at life positively, be aware of the balance sheet and do not succumb to stress

The evolution of physiological systems help effectively address the issues of life and death in two ways: fight or flight.

Although in today's world, life-threatening situations are relatively rare, the mechanism of "fight or flight" is still ready for action and if it is not used for the salvation of the real threat, it is activated in response to daily stress situation.

From traffic jams and disobedience of a teenager coming to the interview with the employer and the fall of the Moscow stock exchange index - constant stimulation mechanism "fight or flight" without legitimate physical discharge can lead to a number of serious diseases. The key to successful stress management is to find techniques (meditation, exercise), which you will definitely enjoy. Learn, explore, experiment.

3. Regularly carry out self-examination

Take care of your health for yourself: conduct self-examination, so as not to miss the primary manifestation of the disease. At the core lies primarily with your choice of lifestyle disease prevention: diet, exercise, sleep, maintaining brain health and stress management. Early diagnosis is mainly held by a physician.

However, there are many procedures that you can do at home on their own and it is advisable regularly. There are several components of medical inspection, running at home: self-examination of the genitourinary system, measuring Blood pressure and heart rate, the calculation of body fat, ratio waist to hip circumference, physical verification development. Regular performance of these studies should be a routine part of your life.

4. Food - one of the main factors in maintaining health and youth

Improper diet is harmful to your body and reduces the ability to respond to stress. Poor nutrition is associated with 13% of deaths in the world. Healthy diet reduces the risk of obesity, cardiovascular disease, cancer and other serious diseases and therefore helps to avoid severe stress that accompanies these state.

It is obvious that most people get too many calories from carbohydrates (foods that contain a lot of sugar) as well as refined and "White" carbohydrates with a high glycemic index of white bread, white rice, pasta, flour, and in particular potatoes. All sources of calories are valuable, and it makes sense to eat a variety of foods each type.

It is important to drink healthy water. Filter tap water for drinking a must. And polyethylene, and chlorine are needed to preserve food or water, but not for your body.

5. With proper nutrition and receive a variety of dietary supplements can be turned reverse aging

For a long time it was believed that a balanced diet - all that is needed to obtain the necessary nutrients for health. But our food is not as rich in nutrients as before. It is found that the reception of certain dietary supplements, along with balanced nutrition improves memory, reduces the level of cholesterol, prevents prostate problems, reduces the symptoms of menopause, reduces inflammation and reduces the risk of cataracts.

For example, calcium and vitamin D technique may help to prevent bone loss in osteoporosis. And - on the average estimate - annually could be avoided more than 130,000 hip fractures, if all people over age 50 received at least 1200 mg of calcium per day.

What to take and in what doses? It depends on who you are, what your genes and the environment in which you live. However, it is clear that often a person needs much more than that specified in the recommended daily consumption rate.

6. The obesity is not good: it is not only a source of stress, but also a threat to your health

According to the report, which is published New England Journal of Medicine in 2002, the increase in weight by 20% compared to its optimum value threefold increased risk of high blood pressure and diabetes of type II, and 60% increases the risk of disease heart.

To prolong life, reduce the portions and calorie content of your meal.

People who are overweight or obese increases the risk of stroke, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, as well as several types of cancer. Perhaps the main difficulty with weight loss is that most perceive as a temporary diet change dietary habits, time of deprivations, for which, when gone the extra kilos, followed by a return to normal life. Such diets are virtually useless. To solve the problem by changing the diet for life.

Sugar is killing us - "white death". There it should be smaller, better and absolutely refuse to give preference to a balanced combination of nizkokrahmalistyh vegetables, lean protein foods and healthy fats.

7. To maintain health, be sure to exercise

We are talking about how power and cardio.

The study, which lasted 7.5 years and coverage of 16 000 male veterans showed that the implementation of exercise reduced the risk of death by 50-70% (depending on the number of running exercises).

Even despite the fact that almost all aware of the recognized importance of the health of regular physical activity, only a few remain loyal to them constantly. And the reason for this - one of the obvious and completely ignore the facts: most people just do not like sports.

But there is no doubt that the human body is designed for intensive and regular exercise. Even today, a few simple changes can transform your workout of hard work in the long-awaited event. Perform exercises to improve your level of endorphins - chemicals that cause a strong feeling of pleasure.

8. Future holds extraordinary breakthroughs in medicine

And they should not only look, should use them to live another life.

Numerous genes trigger the disease, aging, weight gain and other undesirable effects from which we wanted to get rid of, and now developed and tested more than 1,000 drugs that is based on RNAi.

We also have effective methods of introduction of genes using new forms of gene therapy.

For example, one can take a cell from the body and introduce the new gene into it, and then propagated to get millions of these same cells and enter those genetically improved variants back into the body.

So, in the future, we expect not only "designer babies", but the descendants of genetically "enhanced" people, because we will be able to significantly change the genes of adults to improve health and slow down aging.

9. Stay away from toxins and limit their effects on the body

Every year in the environment get billions of kilograms of toxic waste, they seep into the water we drink, accumulate in the food we eat, and are carried by the air we breathe.

We can not avoid exposure to toxins, however, able to limit their impact by strengthening the body's defense mechanisms and freed from their clusters.

Use air purifiers, clean drinking water, eat organic foods whenever possible, and keep away from electromagnetic radiation.
