“The most effective way to prolong the body's youth is physical activity, healthy diet, water, good sleep, and work. When a person works hard, he maintains his intellectual potential and physical condition. It is widely accepted that people who work after retirement live longer. However, it is desirable that the work be stress-free and intellectual. Regular checkups, health assessments, check-ups to prevent various diseases in the early stages, and if there are risks, turn it back, are also vital,” said Alexey Bezimyanniy.
The physician clarified that a person can “beguile the aging”, but one should not deceive himself. “Our age may be in our heads, but you can deceive age in a bad sense of the word, you can grow old in a very short period of time by moving little, eating a lot of unhealthy, fatty, fast foods rich in fast carbohydrates, smoking and being stressed out. Sometimes, at the age of 27, a person turns into a very old man, both emotionally and physically. Same with the opposite direction: there are a huge number of elderly people who do yoga, eat healthy food, move a lot, walk in parks, and do Active Longevity (a social project for the elderly - edited). And you won't think they are not more than 35-40 years old by their inner feelings, appearance and smile in their eyes,” the agency's interviewee noted.
