Dear readers today I want to talk about the phenomenon of longevity. Gerontologists and other specialists involved in the study of the possibilities of the human body, assure that we live a little criminal. The human body from birth is programmed for 100-120 years not just existence, but active being. That is, we live by an average of 30-40% less released by the nature of the term. Why? There are many reasons, but now they will be discussed only indirectly. On the example of unique long-lived people, we will see what the power gives people for so long, and often, and fruitfully go through life.

Who to consider long-livers?

Remember the old film "Macro Tool" on the play of Karel Chapeca? The author put the philosophical question: Is that the benefit of us immortality to which a person is sometimes careless to seek? Well, let not immortality, but live for a very long time - this is also sometimes a serious burden. "Old age is not joy" - sometimes the people of retirement age sigh.

From the point of view of the "Champions" of longevity, long-livers of the world from the Book of Records Guinness, they are completely Yunsha, but tired of life. However, such "old people" is enough among 30-year-olds. Therefore, we will talk here, first of all, not about long years, but about how individual people manage to accomplish almost impossible: to remain in 100 years, and in a more solid age in a clear mind and in physical health.

To begin with, it is necessary to decide on, and whom to consider long-livers?

It is generally accepted to these category of people whose age is more than 90 years. This figure is fixed in the WHO Classification.

I must say, there are quite a few such people in the world. Even in our country traditionally criticized for the low life expectancy, about 350 people exceeded this age border. And every year the number of Aksakals continues to grow.

The second substantial point is: Does a person have official documents confirming the date of his birth. More difficult with this, after all, the world has survived two global wars and many other cataclysms, and purely family problems sometimes lead to the loss of such papers. Therefore, there are so-called verified long-livers of the world and unofficial, presumptive. The latter has to submit some indirect evidence of its records.

An indisputable fact: women long-lived women are much more than men. This also places scientists in a dead end. Although in general the life expectancy of the "strong" floor is almost everywhere than their beautiful half. What are quite objective reasons. The main one, that on the surface: they more diligently reduce their lives with bad habits, and sometimes excessive workload.

Phenomenon of the place: Japan, villages in Italy and a tribe in India

Interesting and the question of binding to the terrain of this phenomenon. Why do people live much longer in some countries and individual regions than in others? Ecology, level of medicine and social benefits, food traditions - these and many other factors researchers take into account. But these statistics do not give exact and comprehensive answers. Mystery still remains.

It is well known that a lot of people live in the mountainous regions of the planet (but not too high, where the air is already very discharged). Georgia, Azerbaijan, Abkhazia and other territories of the former USSR are marked by this advantage, also many long-livers in the world live in Japan.

In the country of the rising sun, more than 40 thousand citizens exceeded the 100-year-old frontier. UN made a forecast that by 2050, if the trend continues, there will be a million countercake in this country. This even causes concerns of the power of items: the nation agrees, the percentage of elderly Japanese in the total population is constantly increasing.

86% of age recorders - women, and Japan are no exception. If you are planning lists of official long-livers in the world, then there we will see a lot of representatives of this country. For example, Misao Okava left his life last year, reaching the border of 117 years and 27 days. And now, hesitantly, Nabi Tadzima on October 16, 2016 was 116 years old and 72 days.

Scientists from Italy recently published research on the phenomenon of residents of the village of Achriroli. 300 people there have age more than 100 years. Moreover, work and live actively, enjoying all the joys of life, including sexual! You can read about it in and here you can learn a lot of interesting things about how modern medicine can help everyone who seeks to extend their earthly path.

But that's what scientists cannot solve, so it's a secret. The names of his representatives we will not find in the ratings of long-livers of the world of the book of records, probably, they simply have no time to do formalities. But, living more than 110 years (moreover, polling!) These aborigines see greatly, have excellent teeth without signs of caries, they generally have enviable health.

The only secret that is visible to the naked eye is the features of the nutrition of the tribe. They eat fruit and raw vegetables, meat use only for large holidays. Throughout the juices of the future, they drink them in the most difficult times, when the new harvest or weather arrived, nature presents unpleasant surprises.

Another distinguishing feature of the Hunza is constant physical activity, quenching, raised by the habit of swimming in cold water. The 60-year-old women of the tribe quietly give birth to healthy fastenings and live, in the full sense of the word, Naughty. By the way, this is exactly the most important factor in their resilience: impenetrable optimism!

Other record holders in the number of long-livers

The long-livers of the world are also guided by the same rule, living in Abkhazia. There is no longer surprising for a long time, almost 3% of the population in passports are the dates of birth of the beginning of the last century. "Evil people do not live for a long time" is one of the common Abkhaz sayings.

More than 80 thousand people in the United States also belong to long-livers. Everything else is different: not brilliant environmental indicators, a high pace of existence with inevitable stress. But the country can boast a very high standard of living in general and medicine, in particular.

An example of Cuba is even more impressive. Here on 11 million people - 3,000 centenary of citizens and those who transferred this age bar. Again, the secret in the close attention of the state to health issues.

Taiwan has long been considered another "focus of longevity." In a small country, more than 1,200 people aged 100 years and above. Here, apparently, the case in the eastern traditions of nutrition and unhurried existence, philosophical attitude to the world.

Legends of the world: Documented not confirmed "champions"

He lived in China such a character: Lee Chung-Yang. I went to the world other in 1933 and assured that the year of his birth was the 1680th, that is, it was 263 lived. He did not hide the sources of his vigor: physical activity, special breathing exercises and ... Eastern calm. "The heart must be kept alone and sleep as the last time," he taught the surrounding.

What do historical facts talk about this? Archids found documents where it is about congratulations of a person with the name of Li Chung-Yang by the Chinese emperor. And he congratulated his supreme ruler with his glorious anniversaries in 150 and 200 years. Is this the most person or a complete namesake, a relative of the 20th century long-liver, remains under a big question. But I really want to believe!

Other long-livers of the world called different dates: for example, Hungarians Golden Petraza and Peter Zorktay assured that they lived 186 and 185 years old, respectively. Pakistani Mahammad Afsha - 180, like a number of representatives of other countries.

In the Soviet Union, even released a postage stamp in honor of Muhamed Evazov. He died in 1959 at about 151 years old.

But the instructive story from the English experts of the antiquity. King Karl in 1935 invited the peasant Tomas Parra to London, who had believed that he was 152 years old, he survived 9 kings. Karl did not shake on lush celebrations. But after a richly feast, a unique guest died. Officially announced that from pneumonia, with the honors burned in Westminster Abbey. But most scientists agree that the true cause of the tragic finals was a banal overeating for the royal table.

World record holders longevity

If you see the lists offered by Wikipedia, then they lists the 100 most "long-playing" residents of the planet, whose proven age at the time of leaving life passed in 114 years. Lists more "young", 100 years old and older, much longer.

And here we are again meeting with riddles and contradictions. If you have some years to enjoy the years, worthy living conditions are helping, then how to explain the phenomenon of Maggie Paulin Barnes, who lived 115 years 319 days (from 1882 P1998). This is really a unique: She is the only representative of the long-livers of the world born in slavery.

In the Guinness Records of the Guinness Records, Elizabeth Bolden, Japanese Tae Ikai, representatives of Ecuador Mary Capovili and dozens of other "champions", and tens of other "champions", and tens of other "champions", are mentioned. And Sarah Knauss at the time of departure was more than 119 years old (she is from the USA).

Japanese Tsee Ikai told that her success is associated with love for the Sea gifts, it was them that she always preferred to be in nutrition. But the Canadian Maria Luis Maleeiler safely reached the age of 117 and 230 days, but all his life worked, not to twist the hands, and in difficult conditions. Two husbands, 10 children. In addition, Maria did not give up a boilers-another wine, and smoking threw the anniversary with a 90-year-old.

Men in this glorious cohort is a bit. In the category of long-livers of the World Book of Records Guinness recorded the name of the Japanese, which lived just over 116 years. This is Dziroemon Kimura. 115 years and 252 days rejoiced to the life of Christian Mortensen - Dane, emigrated to the United States. Puertorican Emiliano Mercado Del Toro is also among the record holdes with a result of 115 years 163 days. There are some more "younger" champions.

Jeanne Kalman: Furious Frenchwoman

For many years, the list of the most long-livers in the world was headed by Zhanna-Louise Kalman with a phenomenal result of 122 years and 164 days (1875-1997). Just imagine: she could see the first flight of Wright brothers, survived two world wars and a bunch of other iconic events of world history.

I suggest watching the video of her and about the top 10 long-livers of our planet.

It turns out that its recipe for success is constant physical activity. Bike, and not a pleasure, she was almost a pros in races! And in the 85th age, learned to fencing decently. Until recent days, it was in memory and a clear mind, was distinguished by the excellent sense of humor. And taste for good clothes!

Louise Kalman explained his record with the ability to follow a simple rule: "When it is impossible to solve problems, there is no need to worry."

By the way, the frantic Frenchwoman was fed at all as nectar and ambrosia. Do you know when she felt the pleasure of drinking every day in a glass of Portwine? In 117 years! One unlucky notary decided to "enforce" 92 - the summer Jeanne-Louise, holding a lifelong rente to her. She lived for another 30 years, having survived the notarium for a long time, which did not wait for her modest apartment.

Antisa Hvicharva: Sample of hardworking

But who is considered the officially recognized most long-liver in the world in history, in any case, modern? This is Antisa Hvichava, an ordinary Georgian woman who has lived a little bit before the turn in 133. For 85 years she worked on tea plantations.

There are documents confirming the authenticity of the fact of its birth in 1880. This was recognized by the specialists of the Guinness Book of Records, issued by Georgian the appropriate certificate.

Antisa Hvichava was illiterate, so that the origins of his uniqueness did not take anything to tell numerous guests. But interested in novelties of science, I wanted to learn how to own a computer. The abilities of the mind and natural curiosity remained with her to the last breath.

And what about the secret of longevity know scientists?

Let's try to sum up some results. Who are they, long-livers of the world: people who have made themselves or lucky, the dumplings of fate?

Of course, much is done in terms of overall health care, an increase in the life expectancy of entire countries and peoples. Child mortality rates are reduced, a lot has been done in terms of finding new methods for the treatment of oncology and diseases of the cardiovascular system. But they still carry out most of the human lives, bringing their black editing to statistics.

Professor Anatomy of the University of California Leonard Hayflik found an interesting pattern: the life expectancy of a person and the relationship of the brain weight to the weight of the body is relating proportionally. The more private, the longest life. In his opinion, aging begins when we stop growing. In essence, years from 30, or even before. But sharks, Galapagos turtles and a number of other creatures are growing very slowly, because almost all life a little bit, but grow in size.

Paracels, meanwhile, was confident that a person could live 600 years old. His Russian colleagues Ilya Zdovnikov and Alexander Bogomolec gave us a period of 160 years.

We can say that heredity is influenced by the process, and partly it is true. Ecology, food, healthy lifestyle - all this is the factors of influence. But, even from the above examples, it is clear that "our" long-livers were not angel-like creatures. Someone drank, by the way, some, even quite decently, others smoked or even smoked out, the third abused coffee.

The Irish landowner Brown, who lived, is considered to be up to 120 years old, bequeathed to make himself a tombstone. Here is her text: "He was always drunk and so terrible in this state that death was afraid of him."

So thoughts for all of us ... but there is, there is one in common, which unites all long-livers of the world is inexhaustible in vitality, optimism. They lived for a long time, because life sincerely loved. And she repressed them with reciprocity.

I wish you all health, simple joys of life. We all have something to learn from long-livers: the same positive, diligence and quietly refer to stress.

And for the soul, we will listen to today Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Concerto for piano with orchestra № 23 , A major, 2 part of Adagio. Piano: Vladimir Horowitz. Listen to such excellent music often. Mozart is light, cleanliness and just mental joy.

Every person dreams of fooling time: to prolong youth, live a very long life. There is a whole list of people who succeeded. Many of them were in their lifetime in the Guinness Book of Records.

World statistics tells us that men live less than women. In this regard, it is quite logical and the fact that the oldest person in the world is also a woman.

Born in 1875 in the south of France, in the city of Arles. Her parents also lived almost to a hundred years. However, her descendants were not transferred to her descendants. Last time she lost her daughter and grandson.

Jeanne-Louise at a young age was familiar with Vincent Van Gogh, who often went to the store of her uncle. Later she said that Van Gogh was very unpleasant, a rude man. She was a witness of the two world wars and watched the construction of the Eiffel Tower. She was not on August 4, 1997. At that time she was 122 years old.

After Kalman - also a woman. American Sarah Knouse was born in 1880. She lived 119 years old. Information about her life is practically absent. It is only known that she died in 1990 in the nursing home.

The oldest person in the world (2012) is Bess Cupper. She was born in 1896 in the US state of Tennessee in and was the third child. Successfully graduating from school, moved to Betuin's town, where he worked as a teacher. At the age of 28 married. Currently, she is 116 years old. It has four children, twelve grandchildren, fifteen great-grandchildren and one great directions.

The oldest person in the world among men was born in Japan in 1897. His name is Dziroemon Kimura. About forty years he worked as a postman. After retirement, he began to engage in agriculture. When he was 90 years old, his health worsened. Today he rarely goes to the street. Nevertheless, he makes charging daily and is engaged in the exercise bike. Kimura loves to read newspapers. Accepts guests, interested in politics and Sumo.

The title "The oldest person in the world" was awarded for a while he was born in 1882 and died aged 115 years in 1998. Cristian was born in Denmark. Among the documents that are preserved after the census of the population of those years, there are also confirming the date of his birth, and even baptism. When Christian was 21 years old, he moved to America. He changed his job many times. He was married, but not long. During his whole life, I did not get kids. It is known that he did not smoke and preferred water to other drinks. In the 90th, Mortensen moved independently to the nursing home, where he lived until the end of his days. At the end of his life, Christian lost sight and could only move through the Wallpaper. After his death, failed to find close relatives. Apparently, by this time they are not survived. Today, the title "The oldest person of the world" no longer belongs to Christian Mortensen. Nevertheless, he is the only native of Denmark, who lived to such years.

These facts make us believe that there is no limit to human capabilities. The maximum age of a person increases with each generation.

The secrets of longevity have long been interested in people. This question periodically makes thinking of many about how it is still to achieve perfect health, harmony with you and become a long-liver. Most often, asking for such questions, people return to the system of nutrition or spirituality, to traditions coming from antiquity or genetic family history. The average life expectancy in the CIS countries is 60-65 years, a little higher than the duration rate in Western Europe. But there are people who revealed their secrets of longevity. In history, long-livers call people who reached the 90th anniversary. The most old man in the world among men is rightfully consider whether Ching-Yun (or Lee Jing Yun).

Old man from China

Ching-Yun's birth data is reported that he was born in 1677, although the old man himself says that he is $ 1736. In 1930, the Professor from the University of Chengdu discovered government imperial records from 1827, which were mentioned from the authorities with its 150th anniversary. China's leadership did not leave the long-liver without attention and on, congratulating it, but already with the 200th anniversary.

The elder was born in Sichuan province. When he was ten years old, Lee began to engage in collecting, processing and spreading herbs, which were considered healing. Already then he began to learn and study everything that helps to achieve long life and health. The diet of the elder was not diverse: whether she was drinks on the sheep of herbs, wine and boiled rice. At the age of 71 in 1749, Lee moved to Kai city. Having proposed his work, became a tactical adviser and teacher of the art history.

In the necrologists "New York Times" for 1933, it became voiced that in 256 years old the long-liver of world importance was Ching-Yun. By the time the long-liver became a widower no much 23 times. Heirs also had about 180 people. He lived with 256 years or, as she claimed him - 197 years old. How old is the older person in the world in fact, it is not exactly known, but it is much more than the larger of the natives of France Zhanna Kalman.

The oldest Frenchwoman

Zhanna Kalman was born in the city of Arles in 1875. The record holder grew into a sufficiently wealthy family of shipowner. When Zhanna turned 21, she married one of the distant relatives. She had a daughter, but, unfortunately, over time, Joan had to be sorpered almost all his relatives.

For his long life, she almost never refused to eat and good wine. She adored vegetables and garlic. The only thing that the Frenchwoman tried to avoid - these are conflicts and quarrels. Kalman always boasted his health, having a harmful habit of smoking, and she smoked until 117 years old, remaining in excellent physical form. Having mastered the fencing of 85 years, and up to 100 years practicing a bike ride was active and Bodra to 114 years. When she reached the 114th anniversary, the trouble happened - the active long-life fell and broke the thigh. It greatly complicated her life, but still did not prevent her to live to 122 years old. Zhanna Kalman on August 4, 1997.

Another long-life of women

The leading in the list of the oldest women living in our time, Okay Misao, unfortunately, died in April 2015. And while the Guinness Book of Records has not recorded a new record holder among women, Misao is in the first place.

She was born in Osaka on March 5, 1898. In 1919 he was married, during marriage had three children from which four grandson and six great-grandchildren were born. Miso never refused to eat tasty, at the same time never suffered from special health problems. She considered her secret to health and longevity: a good, healthy 15-hour sleep.

Modern long-lived

As for long-livers living and now, they include a resident of Bolivia (central part of South America) Flores Laura. Flores takes this honorable place deservedly. Based on the official document, Bolivian was born on July 16 in 1890.

Flores's long life was achieved by means of nutrition and: he spends a lot of time in motion and eats exclusively what grown with her own hands is grain, potatoes and legumes. From meat, it consumes only lamb, water drinks exclusively from high-mountain sources. Alcoholic beverages he did not try and never used. Perhaps that is why serious illness for him is unfamiliar. A 125-year-old Old man talks only in Spanish and does not know how to read, write. The hearing often disappears, but the vision is still good. He has three children from whom sixteen grandchildren and thirty-nine great-grandchildren. It is still laure without a stick.

As the story shows, each long-liver still has its own version of what man leads to health and long years of life. Someone believes that this is a dream, someone speaks of proper nutrition, and someone - oh. Each of these assumptions gave people to humanity, whose long life went beyond any rule of existence.

Another long-liver died on January 18, 2016 in Japan - 112-year-old Yasutaro Koide, born in Fukui Prefecture March 13, 1903. Earlier, the man was hospitalized due to the exacerbations of chronic heart disease.

Yasutaro Koide

After his death, the title of the oldest man of Japan went to 111-year-old Tokyat Masamitsa Yosida.

Now the late Koide received the status of the oldest man of the world in the summer of last year, after his compatriot Sakari Momoya left his life, which was also 112 years old.

Also last year, the oldest resident of Japan died, whose name was not disclosed at the request of relatives. At the time of death she was 115 years old.

After that, the title of the oldest woman itself in Japan went to 115-year-old Nabi Tajima from the Kagosima Prefecture.

The question of the duration of human life has long been exploring the minds not only scientists, but also of ordinary mortals. Experts are constantly in search of means against aging or medicine for immortality.

Not so long ago, even wrote that by 2045, scientists plan to begin to resurrect people from the dead and create immortality technologies by transferring consciousness into a computer shell. However, there were people on our planet, whose eyelids significantly exceed the notorious 100 years, and which are not such a right lifestyle.

So, we present you a list of the ten most famous long-livers in history. Separately, we note that the life expectancy of these 10 people was officially confirmed.

According to the documents, a man was born on July 16, 1890. Flores Laura says he turned his age for a hundred years, and maybe more. He explains his longevity by the fact that he walks a lot every day, does not eat rice and noodles.

It uses a man lamb and barley grains, as well as grown beans and potatoes. Once he even tried a fox who caught in the forest.

A man drinks water that flows in high-altitude sources, alcohol does not use. As Laura notes, he never sick seriously.

But there are such information:
