dear friends many people live longer and complete a century of life. in japan the number of people crossing hundred is increasing every year. where as in other places the people are generally not going beyond say 70. what are the factors affecting this phenomenon? is it diet or the climatic factors or the stress management??

Simple living would seem to be the answer. Eat well, but with a balanced and nourishing diet, no smoking,no drinking. Stress control no doubt would be of great importance. If the climatic conditions are extreme,then enough precaution and care is necessary.

I think to be happy and to try and keep negative thoughts from your mind, eat everything good and bad in moderation, and to take time for yourself and to love yourself along with everyone else...

yes dear lilaclady . trying to be happy or to be happy can it be controlled or self determined in this world of mounting tensions? how do you effectively do it? well good food is also difficult in this era of plentiful use of insectisides and pesticides!! whatever good you may think it may have more problems for you!!

Hi juhi! There are lot of factors affecting one's life span or longivity. Culture, condition, habit, climate are a few worth mentioning. First and foredmost condition, i think, is willingness of people to live longer. If there is a will, there is a way! But, nowadays and in present conditions, people no longer desire to live for many years, for reasons best known to them as also to us!
