It is the heartfelt desire of every person to live a long and happy life. We all want that our old age should also be completely healthy, energetic and wonderful like our youth and we should remain completely healthy even after seeing 100 springs of life. But, in today’s modern lifestyle, it seems like a miracle. Often, with increasing age, various types of diseases surround the body or the person becomes dependent on others (incapacitated).
But there are some people on this earth who have defied all the rules of increasing age and even after crossing the 100 years mark, they are doing all their work on their own without any stick or support. Can a person really live a healthy life beyond 100 years? Does it require any special magical herb or does one have to live in a particular country? Come, let us know the real secret of long life from the recent research of scientists and the story of three real sisters who made Guinness World Records.
The combined age of 3 sisters is 316 years! Name recorded in Guinness Book of World Records
The most perfect example of a long and healthy life has been presented by three real sisters from Brazil, whose age has surprised even the scientists. The names of these sisters are – Zulina de Deus Nunes (103 years), Joridae de Deus Mota (104 years) and Levita de Deus Nunes (109 years). If the ages of these three sisters are added, their combined age is more than 316 years.
Their names have also been recorded in the ‘Guinness Book of World Records’ as the longest living real sisters in the world. At the age when people take to their beds and are counting their last breaths, these three sisters are completely active and happy. When scientists did research on their lifestyle, many secrets of longevity were revealed which are related to our and your daily habits.
Just good genes are not enough, your lifestyle plays 80% role
It is often believed in society that if one’s parents have lived a long life, then the children will also live long. Scientists found in their research that there is definitely truth in this, but this is not the whole story.
-
Genetic Factors: According to research, of our total lifetime only 20 to 30 percent Part of it depends on our genes (genetic factors).
-
external factor: the rest 70 to 80 percent A large part depends on our daily lifestyle, eating habits, environment, better health services and mental state. That means good genes can definitely give you a strong start, but without a good lifestyle it is impossible to travel 100 years.
Remove processed food from the plate, adopt the rule of ‘simple food’ for long life.
Research done on the diets of Guinness World Record holder sisters and people who live longer has made it clear that the path to a longer life passes directly through your kitchen. If you also want to live long and healthy, then completely stay away from canned and processed food from today itself. The diet of people who live for 100 years is very simple and natural. Their food plate mainly consists of green vegetables, fresh fruits, pulses, whole grains and very limited amount of dairy or animal-based (non-veg) food.
Apart from this, it has also been found in scientific research that these people never eat till their stomach is full, but always eat a little less than their hunger. Scientists believe that by continuously giving more calories to the body (overeating), the risk of obesity, diabetes and heart diseases increases manifold.
Instead of going to the gym, adopt an active lifestyle and habit of walking.
Another interesting thing revealed in the research is that most of the elders who live more than 100 years never went to the gym in their entire life. Brazil’s 103-year-old sister Zulina told that in her childhood she used to spend hours swimming in rivers and fishing. In ancient times, people used to do household chores themselves, climb stairs, do farming and used to walk more instead of relying on vehicles.
Physical activity was constant in his life, due to which the metabolism of his body remained strong. Levita raised 5 children while working as a craftswoman and Joridae as a nurse. That is, keeping oneself physically active even amidst the busy schedule of work became the biggest safeguard for one’s health.
Learn to handle stress; The magical effect of prayer, meditation and being close to nature
According to scientists, people who live a long life have a better ability to handle stress than ordinary people. This does not at all mean that there were no difficulties or sorrows in his life; Problems happen in everyone’s life, but these people never let stress dominate their mind.
For mental peace, these elders used to pray regularly, meditate, spend time with their family and children or live in a peaceful environment amidst nature. This was the reason that their immune system remained strong and they fell ill mentally and physically less.
These 5 areas of the world are ‘Blue Zones’, where maximum number of 100 year olds live.
Scientists have done research at the global level and identified some selected places on the world map where the number of people living more than 100 years is many times more than the normal population. These special areas are expressed in the language of science. ‘Blue Zones’ It is said. The major 5 blue zones of the world are as follows:
-
Okinawa (Japan)
-
Sardinia (Italy)
-
Ikaria (Greece)
-
Nicoya (Costa Rica)
-
Loma Linda (USA)
The surprising thing is that the culture, geography and food of all these places are completely different from each other, but despite this, there are deep similarities in the lifestyle of the people here. Such as simple plant-based food, low calorie intake, connection with nature, strong family relationships and the habit of walking.
Even today, science is fully engaged in solving the mysteries of aging and the sources of immortality and new discoveries are being made every year. But all the scientific evidence so far points to only one conclusion that there is no single shortcut or magic capsule available in the market for longevity. It is actually a beautiful result of small right and disciplined decisions taken by you in your daily life over thousands of days.
