LONGEVITY- the life span.
Nature has prescribed 100 years life-span for human-beings.
Variety of factors, genetics, gender, personal life style reduce life.
Life-span at Equator zone is 50 to 70 years.
Life span in moderate zone is 70 to 80 years.
Life span in cold climate zone is 90 years.
Similarly food habits also are responsible for reduced life span.
Once upon a time, Norway, Sweden, Finland, had highest living standard.
Their chief food was cod fish, cod-liver oil with wine.
Their life span was 80 years.
Reports indicate that south-European countries, Spain, France,
Italy Greece consume Olive, Olive oil, and sea-food, with red wine.
Life-span of the inhabitants on French Riviera is seen as 90 years.
Therefore it can be surmised that olive and olive oil and sea-food
And red wine help to enhance life.
Above report is based on statistics. Nature has given
one foot long candle of life of hundred years to all. Some burn candle
in 50 years, some use it sparingly and live 100 years.
Much depends on individual diet. Life needs light exercise.
Life is to be lived moderately and happily.
Anger, short-temper, loneliness and avarice are responsible for short life.
Fresh air, sea-life brings health that mocks doctor’s rules.
Tension, ill-health disease have to be controlled by medication.
In USA, Africa, South America more people die out of obesity
and excess food than people dying out of hunger in Africa and
other countries. Food intake has to be moderate.
“To rise at Six; To dine at Ten,
To sup at Six; To sleep at Ten,
Makes a man live for ten times Ten.”
