Longevity has been one of the greatest mysteries throughout human history. Today, scientists are making new discoveries that can significantly extend the life of individuals by researching ways to live a healthy life. Recent studies show that it is possible to live healthy until the age of 150.
American cardiologist Dr. Ernst von SchwarzResearch led by , examines the effects of stem cell treatments, nutritional habits and regular exercise on longevity. Experts share their findings in this field and offer important tips for everyone to live a longer, healthier life. Schwarz, regular exercise He emphasizes that doing something is one of the most important habits that extends life.
The basic building blocks of our body stem cellsThey have the capacity to transform themselves into many structures of the body, such as blood, skin and hair, and thus contribute to the regeneration of the body. Dr. Von Schwarz, “Stem cell therapy is considered one of the greatest breakthroughs in modern medicine; This discovery is probably even more important than the discovery of penicillin or the diagnosis of tuberculosis bacteria.,” he said and added:
Stem cells are generally obtained from placenta tissue, umbilical cord blood and Wharton’s jelly. These substances, which are excreted after birth, are collected in laboratories and used for various treatment purposes.
Stem cell treatments are currently only accessible to limited groups, and it does not seem possible to reach the masses without approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). However, Dr. Schwarz states that there will be new developments in this field in the short term and that living healthy for 120 or even 150 years is not a dream.
According to Schwarz, adopting healthy eating habits such as the Mediterranean diet, exercising regularly and avoiding harmful habits such as smoking are also among the keys to a long life.
Health Effects of the Mediterranean Diet
Mediterranean dietIt takes as an example the natural diet of people living in countries bordering the Mediterranean and is a nutritional model based mainly on plant foods. This diet includes many nutrients such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains and healthy fats. Experts point out that the Mediterranean diet is one of the healthiest diets.
Some foods suitable for the Mediterranean diet include:
Vegetables: Broccoli, kale, spinach, cauliflower, carrots, Brussels sprouts, cucumber, potatoes, sweet potatoes, tomatoes
Fruits: Banana, apple, orange, pear, strawberry, grape
Nuts and seeds
Legumes: Beans, lentils, chickpeas, peas
Whole grains: Oats, brown rice, barley, corn, rye
Seafood: Salmon, sardines, tuna, mackerel, oysters, crab
Poultry: chicken, duck, egg
Olive oil as a healthy fat
Dr. While Schwarz emphasizes that a healthy diet has a serious impact on longevity, he also states that processed food consumption increases the risk of colon cancer.
Exercise Recommendations for a Long and Healthy Life
Schwarz, a long lasting life At least 150 to 300 minutes per week for exercise explains the importance of doing He defines this period as movement of 30-60 minutes per day, five days a week, at moderate intensity. Dr. Schwarz, “Recent studies show that doubling the recommended amount of exercise can extend life by an average of seven years,” he says. He predicts that in the coming years, people will be able to live 120-150 years not only as active individuals who can participate in social and business life, but also as individuals with a high quality of life.
In recent years in the medical field “reactive medicine” Dr. stated that there has been a transition from the understanding of medicine to regenerative methods such as stem cell treatments, called “regenerative medicine”. Schwarz states that stem cells, although not FDA approved, have the potential to slow down aging and reverse some aging effects. He adds that stem cell treatments provide a younger appearance by healing superficial skin damage and increasing collagen in the face.
Protecting Heart Health with Lifestyle Changes
Schwarz says lifestyle changes and reducing risk factors such as high blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes can reduce cardiovascular deaths by 90% and significantly extend life.
Reminding that people have been searching for ways to live forever throughout history, Schwarz states that there are hopeful developments in this regard. “Five years ago, we were further behind in this regard, but today we have made significant progress in working towards extending life in a healthy way.” He concludes his words by saying.
