Everything is decided at 26 years old. In his new book, “Health in front of you”, the cardiologist and nutritionist Frédéric Saldmann is interested in the technique to become centenarian, and well beyond, live until 150 years. According to him, human beings begin to age at 26 years old.
It is therefore necessary to take care of your body from this age. Too young to think regarding it? Not at all, “The earlier you start, the better,” he reports.
Every year, our body loses 1 to 2% of muscle mass, so to keep the remaining mass healthy, it must be worked through regular physical activity.
But she’s not the only one who needs attention, your brain also needs to be pampered. For you ladies, a little less work than our male friends. And for good reason, women’s brains are generally 4 years younger thanks to greater cerebral activity for hundreds and hundreds of years. However, you still need to make your neurons work as often as possible.
IQ points evaporate at high speed. Simple example, 3 weeks of vacation to completely drop out, and your brain has already dropped by 20 points according to Frédéric Saldmann. Thus, during retirement in particular, a man or a woman who leaves his brain completely at rest can quickly be affected by Alzheimer’s disease.
At the same time, the stress of work can also damage your abilities since according to several studies “For one minute of black thought it takes five hours for the stress hormone to come down”, a titanic task for the brain.
The secret to longevity is:
Having goals: Having goals, dreams, goals, projects gives meaning to life. Thus, we gain in longevity.
Exercise: 40 minutes of exercise a day is a good average for gaining longevity. Be careful, not necessarily cardio or exhausting sports, but for example swimming, cycling, hiking… And indeed, according to the cardiologist, physical activity would reduce the risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease or of Alzheimer’s.
Practicing fasting: Thanks to intermittent fasting, people “develop their immunity and a molecule that increases brain acuity and memory”. According to him, fasting is a real “rejuvenation cure”.
There you go, you now have the keys to live happily ever following until you turn 150!
