Most women are actively fighting the signs of age and often complain about aging. But the director of the Russian Gerontological Research and Clinical Center, Academician of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences Vladimir Shabalin believes that the fair sex is lucky compared to men. Yes, in women, the external signs of aging appear earlier, but men "burn out" faster.
According to the academician, in Russia the difference between the life expectancy of women and men is one of the highest in the world - about 10-12 years. However, in all countries of the world, it is the ladies who live longer.
“Men are by nature sprinters, and women are stayers,” the scientist explained to Ytro.ru. "In men, all metabolic processes are 20% faster, so they simply burn out, not even having time to reach those physical elements of old age that a woman reaches."
At the same time, practically all of us are not using our potential in the best way. According to experts, today the average person can live more than 100 years. There would be desire and good habits.
The secret to longevity is simple: a balanced diet, moderate physical activity and a stable emotional state.
It turns out that the main difference between centenarians is that they are all calm, self-possessed people with a stable psyche, not prone to violent manifestations of emotions. Thus, people who want to live longer should observe "mental hygiene" - to control emotions and try to avoid stressful situations. In addition, one should not forget about intellectual development.
“The main thing is to have a constant load. After all, when athletes leave the sport, the load stops and the muscles immediately sag. Likewise, the brain, if not given a load, a person degrades,”the professor notes.
