How can we add years and quality to our lives?<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Longevity is a term that is increasingly mentioned in the media, magazines and conversations among experts, but also over coffee in good company.<\/p>\n

Today’s concept of longevity represents the desire and need to enable and maintain a long, healthy and quality life. The goal of modern medicine and its associated sciences is to lay the foundations and provide support for a long and healthy life.<\/p>\n

Although longevity has been a ubiquitous term in recent times, it is by no means an idea or trend of the modern era; namely, since ancient times, people have been searching for the “elixir of life”, “fountain of youth”, “philosopher’s stone”, etc. Ancient Egyptians sought longevity in ritual rituals, maintaining ideal body weight and using food such as honey, garlic and beer in their diet and medicine.<\/p>\n

Ancient Greeks believed that the key to a healthy life was moderation in everything, including diet, exercise and conversation.
\nIn China, for centuries, balance between mind and body has been achieved through meditation, breathing exercises, and proper physical exercise.<\/p>\n

It is certainly worth mentioning the Middle Ages, when alchemy and the search for the elixir of life reached their peak.<\/p>\n

Longevity in the sense of extended years of life achieved its full meaning in the 19th and 20th centuries with the advancement of modern medicine and the discovery and better understanding of the human body as a whole and its relationship with the environment, and the invention of medications, antibiotics, vaccines, new surgical techniques, and the understanding and treatment of various diseases and conditions.
\nFurthermore, longevity in the sense of adding quality to an extended life achieved its meaning in the 21st century, especially in the last 10 years.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The basis of the longevity concept can be divided into several basic areas:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Nutrition<\/li>\n
  2. Physical activity<\/li>\n
  3. Sleep<\/li>\n
  4. Stress management<\/li>\n
  5. Supplements, medical preparations and medications<\/li>\n
  6. Treatments and medical procedures<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
