THE OLDEST OLD: A LOOK AT CENTENARIANS.

       A centenarian is a person who lives to or way beyond 100 years. The term is associated  with longevity. Investigations carried out in the United States have found that people are much more probable to be 100 years if their brother or sister has reached the age, that means that genetic factors play an important role in this phenomenon.

     Life expectancy is less than 100 years in the world. Healthy centenarians have high levels of vitamin A and vitamin E and this seems to be important in guaranteeing their extreme longevity.

      Some of the factors that contribute centenarians to reach this age are:

1. A diet that is heavy grains, fish, lots of vegetables,especially garlic, and light on meat, eggs, and dairy products,
2. Low-stress lifestyles,
3. High levels of activity like walking, gardening , exercising, practicing yoga , etc., 
4. To have a good sense of humor , happiness,
5. Have a good breakfast,
6. Get up early, and

     Don't eat a lot of salt and fat. These things are bad for you.

Old People

When people talk about age, think that somebody who has more than 40 years is old, I don't agree with that because for me the old age doesn't depend of years,  it depends of  feelings. I say that because sometimes you can find people maybe with 20 or 25 years old and they behave or look like 40 or more than that. Otherwise some are 40 or more and maybe don't behave like 20 or 25, but look and feel like this age.

In the other hand when you have the opportunity to share with old people you learn a lot from then about different things of the life; when you speak with then you are speaking with the experience's voice. So if you need an advice ask them. Please be polite and carefully with the old people.

The oldest old.

    I think that becoming a centenarian is not easy, but what we have to do is to live our lifes in a normal way and following some advices for building strong defenses and avoid illnesses besides that I got some important information to share with you:

  Preserve your cognitive abilities

Centenarians preserve their cognitive function by engaging in mental activities that are interesting to them. Crossword puzzles (verbal functions), bridge (memory functions), and intricate jigsaw puzzles (visual-spatial functions) can help keep the mind sharp.

   Late-life learning

Learning never has to stop for anyone. Formal late-life learning can help preserve thinking abilities, and many older people are already doing this: Harvard recently granted a bachelor's degree to an 89-year-old woman. Adult education opportunities are numerous, and at least a third of American universities offer college and graduate level courses specifically for people over 65.

Exercise

Active lifestyles contributed not only to our centenarians' overall health but to their alerts and agile minds. People can exercise almost all their lives. Tai Chi, an ancient Chinese program of meditative movements, can be performed by people of almost any age or physical ability level. It has moderate steady aerobic effects, uses all the muscle groups, and builds flexibility. With its slow, repetitive motions, this form of exercise also has the effect of decreasing emotional stress and anxiety.

Stress reduction

Centenarians are natural stress-shedders. This contributes to their longevity in part by improving their cognitive health, since anxiety and depression have significant negative effects on brain function.

  If you know about a special case of a centenarian, you can help this person to live and have a beautiful life.

THE OLDEST OLD.

Our old,
the ones  that we love, we must give them more love like our children, they need us, they are full of experience, wisdom, accomplishments, history, values ​​and love.

 we should treat them with love and respect and help them overcome their weaknesses, so they do not feel alone or abandoned.

but there are many details that fade by insensitivity and neglect, regardless alterations suffered by the years.

 we should not abandon them, in a nursing home because they do not like to be alone and in those places they always feel alone.
in my case I dont' have grandfathers because They died when I was a child , but  if it weren't like this I would have liked to share their lives with me, and give them all the love that they gave me.
