How To Increase Longevity And Live A Long Healthy Life

Copyright © GetLongevityNow.com

To increase longevity means that we'd like to live longer than we naturally should. And of course, health does matter. The point to having extended lifespan is to live an enjoyable and meaningful life until the end, and being healthy make these possible. While there are a lot of approaches and purported solutions in the pipeline, we tend to be more interested in biological or physical longevity.

The dilemma with human longevity studies lies with the end result. In studies like caloric restriction and resveratrol, scientists have proven that delayed aging is possible for animal subjects. While intermediate results on human trials are promising, we still don't know for sure the side effect and practicality of the regiment. So are we going to wait until they age beyond their maximum lifespan for the ultimate proof? Alternatively, are we going to take chances now based on best evidence? In other words, we would most probably die waiting or could die trying.

If a solution in a pill is not readily available, what is the next step? We know and see for ourselves people who are living or have lived extremely long. Genetic and catastrophe aside, we know that the secrets to healthy longevity are a combination of favorable lifestyle factors. Most of them are known like good dietary habit and regular physical activity. Other determinants to explore include how they respond to stress and adversity, their social life and their spiritual belief. We could emulate and adopt their best practices. Although changing lifestyles is not a favorite alternative solution, at least the result is somewhat proven.

Another way is to continuously seek knowledge, truth and application in the field of aging. We may not be scientists, technologists or bio engineers. Simply being an open minded enthusiast is enough to motivate us to discover the non-mainstream ways to increase longevity. Pick a handful of experts you believe in and follow people who practice what they preach.

For examples, Dr Mercola believes he will live until at least 150 years old. Another expert, David Wolfe claims he found the number one cause of aging. We can't simply dismiss the clever solutions they advocate. And We don't have much time to just wait and see.
