Zanimljiv clanak u proslom broju magazina National Geographics o tajnama dugog zivota. Steta sto se ne moze procitati cijeli clanak sa web-a, ali u ovom odlomku je sustina (finding purpose, eating a plant-based diet, keeping fit, drinking red wine, the list goes on). Ako se sjetim sutra cu vam napisati sta sve tri grupe imaju zajednicko a sta rade razlicito. Meni je najvece iznenadjenje sto se grupa ovih Amera nasla medju prva tri.

Residents of Okinawa, Sardinia, and Loma Linda, California, live longer, healthier lives than just about anyone else on Earth. What do they know that the rest of us don't?
Get a taste of what awaits you in print from this compelling excerpt.
What if I said you could add up to ten years to your life? A long healthy life is no accident. It begins with good genes, but it also depends on good habits. If you adopt the right lifestyle, experts say, chances are you may live up to a decade longer. So what's the formula for success? In recent years researchers have fanned out across the globe to find the secrets to long life. Funded in part by the U.S. National Institute on Aging, scientists have focused on several regions where people live significantly longer. In Sardinia, Italy, one team of demographers found a hot spot of longevity in mountain villages where men reach age 100 at an amazing rate. On the islands of Okinawa, Japan, another team examined a group that is among the longest lived on Earth. And in Loma Linda, California, researchers studied a group of Seventh-day Adventists who rank among America's longevity all-stars. Residents of these three places produce a high rate of centenarians, suffer a fraction of the diseases that commonly kill people in other parts of the developed world, and enjoy more healthy years of life. In sum, they offer three sets of "best practices" to emulate. The rest is up to you.
