Living and enjoying life, comprehending all her sorrows and pleasures, the person is involuntarily occurred by a question: how many to it it is still measured by destiny and up to what age of people can live in principle? Life expectancy depends not only on genetics, but also living conditions.
Bible long-livers
Scientists claim that in ancient times, as well as in the Middle Ages, human life was short and rapid. 20-30 years – average life expectancy on which it was worth counting then. The person hardly managed to get family, to grow up children and all – came time to pass the baton and to fall into oblivion.
However, leaning on other sources, in particular on the Bible, it is possible to learn that not any person died early. So, Moisey, one of bible prophets, lived 120 years, Sif – 912 years, Kainan – 910 years, our forefather Adam – 930 years, Mathusela – 969 years, Ache – 950 years.
Life in the Middle Ages
During the Middle Ages era the situation was completely other. Plague, cholera, smallpox and other misfortunes of that time led to the enormous mortality of the population. It would seem about what longevity can there be a speech? But, despite this, some representatives of the human race could exist comfortably even in such conditions, and some of them quietly lived up to 150-200 years.
Our days
Based on the data obtained from the Guinness Book of Records, long-livers were not transferred also to our times. So, some masters yogis lived up to 180 years. A certain resident of Japan lived till 221 year, and Chinese Li Qingyun could live up to 256 years. Apparently from the given examples, human life can be quite long and exceed average age more than three times. In this respect there are several theories.
Modern theories of longevity
By scientists it was proved that average life expectancy of animals makes 6 cycles of their full development (the period from the birth till a full maturity), and in certain cases significantly exceeds this period. In this situation the person has to live easily a minimum up to 150 years. Why it does not occur, and all with what we can be content nowadays – 70 years on average? To all fault living conditions. Excessive stressynebolshy we accept a stress for the person and it is even useful. It stimulates to action, the solution of any problems, promotes achievement of the desirable. But the level of the had stress of most of people just reads off scale today that of course cannot but influence duration of his life. Improper feeding and the ecologiyaupotrebly completely processed, artificial food, people do not add to themselves health at all. As a result the organism receives less a large amount of vitamins, minerals and other necessary substances. The adverse ecological situation also leaves the mark on life expectancy. The polluted air, water, food – a reality with which the modern person needs to be reconciled. The shortcoming motive aktivnostiv former times of people worked in the field, hunted, hiked – a word constantly moved. Now major activity – a prosizhivaniye at office in front of the computer. For a human body it is absolutely unnatural. However not everything is so bad as it seems. Nevertheless life expectancy, since the middle of the 20th century, began to grow steadily. The modern medicine found many diseases medicine and its positions every year more and more become stronger. Undoubtedly, in the future it will be able to resolve also a riddle of extension of human life, as well as a great number of others.
