The second gerontological conference dedicated to the International Day of the Elderly and the 95th anniversary of the hospital was held at the National Hospital of the Presidential Administration. The hospital is considered the flagship of the gerontological service, today it has 187 centenarians, of which ten are over a hundred years old. According to the president of the Eurasian Association of Gerontology Valery Benberin, the technique developed by the doctors of the clinic is considered one of the best in the world. Moreover, it is based not only on drugs, but on a set of measures, starting with monitoring the body and ending with nutrition and physical activity. According to him, the pace of medical science today is so great, since physicists, chemists, programmers and artificial intelligence have come to it that a person will live up to 120 years.
– It’s time to finish talking about elixirs, pills of youth, these are all legends of the past, accents must be rearranged to a healthy lifestyle. Living 120 years, and 40 of them are in the hospital, is not the best prospect. A distinctive feature of modern society is the desire of young people to engage in strengthening their health in order to live a long time. If earlier interest in gerontology was the lot of pensioners, now from the age of 18 people strive to maintain their potential, we have come to this evolutionarily. I’ll tell you more, germ cells multiply as long as a person lives, there are fathers and at 85, 90 years old, women at 56 give birth, at 50 they are like 30 before and only approach their top, – said the professor.
As recommendations for longevity, gerontologists advised today to eat moderately, give up bad habits, engage in physical and mental stress that make the body and brain work.
– People who have lived to a respectable age are workers, and they worked for society and the country, and this gives more satisfaction than for themselves. These people are moderate in nutrition, comfort and habits, he is not comfortable for life, he quickly wears out a person, physically and mentally people degrade in him, – Valery Benberin emphasized.
