The Science of Healthy Ageing

Scientific research has shown that there are no special genes which make us become old and die. Genes determine our ability to live and maintain health for about forty years after which our cells and organs start becoming weaker and less functional. Several lifestyle factors, such as food, physical activity and psycho-social interactions affect ageing and lifespan. To live longer and to maintain health a promising approach is that of "hormesis" which uses low levels of physical, nutritional and mental stress which stimulates and strengthens body's own defense mechanisms.
