LONGEVITY ::How to Achieve it ??
.jpeg)
Some exits this world naturally below 40, yet others do so , even in health above 140; all in the same socio-political environment!
What are the different variables responsive for this phenomenon??
Could it be found in natural genetic make up ??
Is it due to differential health nutrition??
What else could be responsible??
👛Please share your opinion. It could increase the life expectancy index of the World Population👛
Hi. a few ideas. We all know healthy food is the most important followed by exercise and happiness. Living a healthy life leads to more happiness, but in the short term eating unhealthy food and not exercising can be more pleasant. Humans are social creatures, so trying to find an individual solution often doesn't work. Some countries, like Japan have a healthy culture especially as people age.
Others like Australia and the US have an obesity crisis. I don't know why, but seeing it as an individual failing doesn't help to find the cause and solution.
A few years ago the Pokemon Go craze got everyone out exercising and meeting strangers. Now we have lockdowns. So, what is the solution? I don't know, but the people who can help are those who understand sociology and marketing.
Unfortunately, a lot of marketers have spent their time making us unhealthier for profit. We need people who care about other people and use their knowledge to improve people's lives.
As this is an international place we can get ideas from different countries and how well or poorly they are doing.
Hi @humanzee,
You are absolutely right. In fact there is a fringe group of doctors, who don't follow the mainstream thinking, that says diet contributes to 80% of our health and all other factors combined 20%. Many people who follow this regiment report that they have gone off blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes medications even in their old age and even after having been on them for decades. You have to try it to believe it.

Thanks @humanzee for your contributions. But why must only the Socialogists and Marketers considered qualify to intervene meaningfully ??
I think they are ones who have studied how people behave in groups. I think that's the best response rather than one person at a time. Just my thoughts. I'm not an expert.
Ok Bless up . Thanks !
