The rise in human longevity is one of humanity’s crowning achievements

 

Longevity by Vivanza biosciences


As per the claims by some Demographers and Biologists, There might be no natural limit to how long humans can live — at least not one yet in sight. According to their studies, the mortality rate levels off after age 55 which creates “mortality plateau”. If there is a mortality plateau, then there shall be no limit to human longevity.

Consensus holds by researches and studies claims that the risk of death steadily increases in adulthood, up to about age ranging from 50-80 or so. But there’s vehement disagreement about what happens as people enter their 90s and 100s. Some have concluded that death risk flattens out in one’s ultra-golden years, and therefore that human lifespan does not have an upper threshold.

Human longevity should best be thought of as an inadvertent byproduct of fixed genetic programs that optimize for growth, development, reproduction, and ensuring the reproductive success of offspring (eg, grandparenthood).

Future prospects:

The 30-year rise in life expectancy in the last 120 years was one of humanity’s greatest achievements. Public health played a critical role in the beginning when the easy gains in longevity were possible by saving the young, but these easy gains cannot happen again. Medical technology took over in the later part of the century to manufacture survival time for people that would have otherwise succumbed at younger ages to death’s consistent harvest.

In the modern era in long-lived populations we now live long enough for aging related diseases to impact human health.

If we continue to attack chronic fatal and disabling diseases in the future as we have in the past, we might very well succeed in postponing death, but the price of this success will likely be a rise in the prevalence and severity of aging related conditions.

Conclusion:

No one can know exactly how anticipated advances in aging biology will influence the future course of life expectancy, If the goal of aging science and modern medicine shifts from its historical emphasis on trying to make us live longer, to a new goal of extending the period of healthy life, we no longer have to fight the uphill battle against life table entropy.

“Questions about upper limits to life expectancy should best be left to esoteric”

FOUR STEPS TOWARD EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

  1. Acknowledge Some one : An acknowledgement is a simple statement of another's value. It's a small act that can contribute enormously to the well-being of another and will also make you feel good at the same time.You can acknowledge the most significant person in your life, or you can acknowledge a stranger, or both. Just tell them what they mean to you   How about thanking a waiter for excellent service and for making your dinner a pleasant experience? Or telling your partner how much his or her smile lights up the room? Approach the world with new eyes and look for an opportunity where you can express even a small amount of thanks to someone every single day. Look for opportunities where you can acknowledge somebody's worth, especially when there are no strings attached Think about how you feel when somebody tells you what a great job you're doing or what a difference you make in that person's life. We don't get acknowledged enough, and more important,

GREEN TEA TO PROTECT YOUR HEART

Image
  Five days a cup seems to be magic number for maximum benefits and heart protection. Alternatively (or in addition), take an EGCG supplement of 250 milligrams per day. GREEN TEA: THE LONGEVITY DRINK Japanese people live longer than people in any other country. One reason just might be the tea. Japanese researchers’ analyzed data from a National Cohort Study that began in 1994 and included more than 40,000 participants aged 40 to 79. Everyone who started the study was free of stroke, heart disease, and cancer. For the next eleven years, researchers’ watched what happened. They found that people who drank five or more cups of a tea a day had a significantly lower risk of death compared to the folks who drank only one cup or less a day. The five-cup drinkers had an especially lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease and stroke. The more green tea people consume, the less likely they are to have coronary artery disease. Underlying mechanisms for the heart- beneficial effects of tea

EXTEND THE OLIVE BRANCH TO YOUR IMMUNE CELLS

  Take one to two capfuls of high-quality olive leaf extract daily (such as Barlean’s Olive Leaf Complex) Olive leaf complex can help prevent the spread of viruses and may stimulate immune cells. It also eats up free radicals and fights oxidative damage. One of the active ingredients in oleuropein, is a substance called elenolic acid. Research shows that Elenolic acid has an uncanny ability to inhibit the growth of viruses. And one form of elenolic acid, calcium elenolate, fights not only viruses but bacteria and parasitic agents as well, studies show. According to Privitera, olive leaf extract directly penetrates infected cells and stops viral replication. And Privitera is not the only health expert who has taken note of the amazing antimicrobial properties of olive leaf extract. Compounds of olive leaf extract can ‘’directly penetrate infected cells and inhibit further microbial reproduction. Olive leaf extract may also directly stimulate the formation of immune systems cells t
