• Average life expectancy ( ALE) according to WHO has risen globally to 73 years in 2012
• Japan ranks number one with ALE of 84.6 years, United States ranks 36 with ALE of 79.8 years and India ranks 165 with ALE of 65years.

​

• Average life expectancy ( ALE) according to U.N. 2018 figures shows globally it is 73.2 years.
• Hongkong ranks no. 1 with ALE of 85.29. Japan ranks no. 2 with ALE of 85.03 years, United States ranks 46 with ALE of 79.11 years and India ranks 135 with ALE of 70.42years.

POPULATIONS

• Global: 7.8 Billions
• China: 1,440,826,000.
• India: 1,383,704,000.
• USA: 331,528,952.

OKINAWA

• Okinawa has among the longest lifespans and highest prevalence rates of centenarians in the world.
• As of 2015, over 1000 centenarians have been examined. By several measures of health and longevity the Okinawans can claim to be the world’s healthiest and longest-lived people

​

OKINAWA

These islanders age slowly and are about 80% less likely to get heart disease. They're less likely to get breast or prostate cancer. In addition, they have half the risk of getting colon cancer and are less likely to get dementia. On average they spend 97% of their lives free of any disabilities.^[1]

IKIGAI� REASON FOR LIVING

LET’S JOIN 100 PLUS CLUB

• In 1998 nearly 60,000 members were 100-plus club. In the year 2020 analyst predicts that more than 200,000 Americans will be 100years old or older.

DO RIGHT BY YOUR BODY

Advances in healthcare, proper understanding of nutrition and diet , more emphasis on "Lifestyle" changes including exercising and stressing the importance of sound and adequate sleep will help us in reaching our goal to live until the age of 100 years.

WE DON’T HAVE TO GROW OLD

• None of us can stop aging, but we don't have to grow old. Cardinal Spellman once said," The three ages of man are youth, middle age, and 'You're looking wonderful.Life is not a spectator sport; get out of the stands and do something- be a participant.

AGING PROCESS-IT STARTS WITH THE CELL

• Life is nature’s most spectacular accomplishment-it is a unprecendented miracle.
• Our organs and tissues are made up of cells.
• To stay alive our cells need protection from harmful invaders.
• When protection fails they need capacity to heal.
• Our organs and tissues begin to malfunction when our cell get injured or they die.
• Fortunately we know a lot how to stimulate cellular repair and how to protect cells from becoming damaged.

COMMON EFFECTS OF STRESS

OUR HORMONES GETTING READY FOR THE STRESS

• Pituitary gland gets activated, releases corticotropin (ACTH)
• Stimulates Adrenal gland to secrete Adrenaline and Cortisol.
• Adrenaline prepares muscles for action and helps react to danger.
• Cortisol increase release of Dopamine and blood glucose which gets up charged and allow us to face challenges.

STRESS MANAGEMENT � STRATEGIES, SUCH AS:

• Getting regular physical activity
• Practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, meditation, yoga, tai chi or massage
• Keeping a sense of humor
• Spending time with family and friends
• Setting aside time for hobbies, such as reading a book or listening to music

​

ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS

• Eat healthfully.
• Exercise regularly.
• Minimize stress.
• Live positively with very few negative thoughts.
• Address sleep deprivation and sleep soundly.
• Avoid exposures to toxins.
• Have adequate social and family life thus preventing loneliness and isolation.

HOW AND WHY WE AGE ?

There are numerous theories, for most part they fall into two categories:

1) Program Theory suggest that human genes are precoded for a specific age of death.

2) Damage Theory. Cumulative wear and tear determines the age of death.

Both these theories agree that human genes are programmed to maximum life expectancy of about 120 years.

Most of us fall short because we fail to take steps to prevent or repair cellular damage that occurs over the course of our life.

DAMAGE THEORIES: �REPAIRING WEAR AND TEAR

• “Free Radicals” highly charged ,rapidly moving molecular fragments that harm healthy cells. Some occur naturally but many more results from poor diet, deficiency of key nutrients and exposure to toxins.
• If we minimize “Free Radicals” and keep our cells healthy we can either prevent a disease from occuring or even reverse it.
• Antioxidants neutralize “Free Radicals” thus they slow the aging process.

RENEWAL:ANTIDOTE TO AGING

• Protection,repair, and regeneration-these bodily functions are at the heart of Renewal.
• One can keep them going strong with the help of Anti-Aging Diet, Anti-aging Supplement Program, and Anti-Aging Excercises.
• Remember that the choices we make every day exerts a profound influence over how long we live.
• Those 120 years that nature has alloted to us are ultimately in our hand.

“We need to be careful what we wish for because longer life without extended health is harmful. We should stop trying to make ourselves live longer, but we will get the bonus of living longer if we live healthier.”

— S. Jay Olshansky, University of Chicago professor

HARVARD STUDY OF ADULT DEVELOPMENT

• Close relationships, more than money or fame, are what keep people happy throughout their lives, the study revealed. Those ties protect people from life’s discontents, help to delay mental and physical decline, and are better predictors of long and happy lives than social class, IQ, or even genes.

ROBERT WALDINGER IN “TED” TALK

• The researchers also found that marital satisfaction has a protective effect on people’s mental health. Part of a study found that people who had happy marriages in their 80s reported that their moods didn’t suffer even on the days when they had more physical pain. Those who had unhappy marriages felt both more emotional and physical pain.

LONELINESS IS DEADLY- COMPANIONSHIP IS THE REMEDY

• Loneliness is experienced when we are physically isolated but also when we are emotionally isolated.It is illustrated well in recent research into the emotional consequences of social media in our youth. Loneliness activates the sympathetic nervous system, fuels inflammation, and increases the risk of chronic disease. It makes it more difficult for us to cope with stress. Loneliness impairs memory and increases the risk of dementia. It also increases the risk of an early death.

The process of aging is different for everyone, but more than the physical changes our bodies undergo, our ability to perform certain tasks can be diminished. Driving can appear to be easy, but really it is a complex skill that requires constant attention and competence.
