Norman Swan, a famous doctor from Australia, who recently wrote a book titled: Want to Live Younger: The Ultimate Guide to Longevity”, in which he presents the secrets of living to 100 years. He claims that a varied Mediterranean diet, regular exercise, no smokingwith developed social connections and positive relationships are the most important characteristics of a healthy, centenarian life.
The doctor says that, for example, you don’t have to reach the age of 55 (as he is now) and have the body of a 75-year-old. You have to have the body of a 45, 50-year-old person”, so you can live 100 years and even more, according to Illawarramercury.
This is the purpose of the book written by the famous Australian doctor. Man must plan to remain young in mind and body for a long time. What do I have to do to live 100 years? everyone is wondering.
What changes you need to make in your life so that you can enjoy increased longevity. “It might be boring, but do the basic things in life, no matter what age you are.
Smoking, high blood pressure, increased blood fat, lack of regular physical activity and being overweight or obese all accelerate biological ageing,” said Norman Swan.
“There are basic things you have to do. Quit smoking, lower your blood pressure and cholesterol levels, as well as your body mass index. Do all blood and health tests, for cancer and other they were.
Eat a Mediterranean diet, exercise regularly, create a deficit of calories, where you eat less than you consume. Plus, you usually know why your family members died and at what age. The more you learn from your youth, the better.
If there is a pattern in your family of people suffering from heart disease or cancer under the age of 60, then maybe you should consider genetic counseling, do tests to be able to detect possible early cancer”.

“Fifty years ago, living to 100 was a genetic anomaly. But today that has changed. Now we can live up to 105, 110 years. But people live up to 100 years now because of the lives they’ve led and the choices they’ve made over time,” explained the doctor.
“If we look at people who lived to be 100 years old, they didn’t have high blood pressure, they didn’t smoke, they weren’t too fat, they weren’t too thin, the men were usually married, but the women weren’t.”
In addition, centenarians got over life’s troubles more easily. Studies have shown that they are more optimistic, and the more optimistic you are, the longer you can live. “If you have reached 60, 70, 80 or 90 years old, keep up with diet and exercise, learn new skills to deepen the neural networks of brainget 8-9 hours of sleep and stay in a social environment,” Swan concluded.
