Living to 100 Yrs Old is no Longer a Rarity

announcer — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 12:53:55 +0000

Apparently, living to 100 yrs old no longer has the WOW factor that it once had in many a society. Why is this? There are many factors, but the reality is that many people from all countries and all walks of life are now getting to that grand old century birthday. So how is it done? There are a number of factors involved here. Education is one. People are now far more in tune with their bodies and know what to eat, what to avoid, and the importance of exercise fitness in addition to a good healthy diet of fresh foods of which include lean meats, fruits, vegetables, and various nuts.

But living a life of good health and with a positive attitude and outlook is not the full story. There are also others who have lived to 100+ yrs, yet abused their bodies for an entire lifetime with alcohol, various substances, fatty foods, and procrastination. So what’s their secret? Are these types’ just medical miracles? Well, there’s a degree of luck in here, but these types are usually sicker for longer than the other healthier folks of the same age, and are simply being kept alive with the help of modern medicine.

Here are some of the downsides to longevity. Pensions are being paid out for many more years longer than previous generations that used to die just a few years after retirement (generally speaking), and medical care is also costing governments a fortune. After all, if the resources are available thanks to research and technology, then a nation can hardly let its people die when it has the means to keep their ticker ticking. Some folks would sooner die in their late 70′s after a fulfilled life than go on for another 20 plus years with next to no quality in their every day existence.

None of us want to die, but we know we have to. After all, it’s as much a part of the life cycle as living is. Not any easy topic by any means, and different generations and societies will have different views on it. Debates a plenty can be found in online forums, but they won’t solve anything, but merely keep the topic in the limelight.

Would you Try a 3 Day Diet Plan?

Ever been on a 3 Day Diet Plan and thought it was great until you became fatter than ever the minute you came off it? The reason is because these 3 day diets (and other fast weight loss programs), have you loosing water weight, not actual body fat. On top of this, the body’s caloric intake over these few days of near starvation, makes it hold on and store food fats once you start eating properly again. Your body wants to store fats, not burn them, just in case it is deprived of food fuel again as was the case of the fast fad diet, that is unhealthy at best, and dangerous at worse.

There is only one healthy way to lose weight, and that is gradually, and with commitment. Also, because men and women (and even children nowadays), go ON diets, it invariably means they come OFF them once the target weight has been achieved. This concept of getting your body back is wrong! Going on and coming off diets is what’s known as yoyo dieting. Why? Well because those of us who come off a diet always put the weight on again soon after, and more often than not, plus a bit extra. No, a diet should not be something that’s done like a course where we get to graduate at the end of it, but more of a lifestyle change where health and fitness is maintained by a permanent state eating properly and with a little regular exercise too.
