A scientist has revealed a way to live up to 110 years

Anyone can potentially live to be 110 years old, for this they need to be vaccinated, adhere to a healthy diet and move more. Mikhail Bolkov, a researcher at the Institute for the Study of Aging of the Russian State Scientific and Clinical Center of the Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University of the Russian Ministry of Health, told about this on September 5 in the new issue of the Izvestia podcast.

According to him, lifestyle and nutrition play a more significant role in its duration than genetics.

"If you want to live up to 110 years in full health, and not in dementia, you need to remember that infections shorten our lives. Do not forget about a healthy diet and physical activity, and try to avoid all those injuries and harmful factors that do not depend on us at all," the expert emphasized.

The scientist noted that it is necessary to take 7 thousand steps a day, and during the working day, get up once an hour and move for at least five minutes. He also advised avoiding stress, avoiding fried foods, and reducing sugar intake.

"Healthy food and calorie restriction are recommended by all religions of the world as factors of longevity. Healthy food is durum wheat or unprocessed rice grains. There is a surface membrane there that is useful for the intestinal microflora. Then there are the greens, which contain a huge amount of vitamins, meat or fish. But it is necessary to abandon processed products related to preservation and smoking," Bolkov stressed.
