The Oldest Old: A Look at Centenarians
Luis Mendoza IDI-324

 

Many times we wonder: Will I reach to be an oldman or woman? Well, I think that would be something more than good to me, because I could see my Children grow up, graduate from High school and/or College.

Elderly is really a blessing from God, it is experiences, Knowledgments, a whole world in hands so, we have to take care of our Grandparentes and parents. Elderly is lika being a child again, you cannot do most of things by yourself as you did many years before, your five senses does not work the same.

Nowadays few people get to be 100 years old or more, maybe it is the lifestyle we live today as the pollution, food, stress, problems, worryness, etc.

My conclusion is this: Whenever you reach to see an old person please, give a helping hand, because once a time he or she was brighty young like you are now. Just remember: today very young you are, tomorrow oldy you will be.

 

How to stop being shy 

   

In my opinion, be a shy person is not so bad, but it's hard to admit, but at the same time is something we can change, a shy person needs to change the negative experiences and face the world.


the person who is shy need to meet new people, socialize at work or university, talk to the family about it and be realistic and face the fears, the most important thing is to go step by step, you can not expect to completely change the overnight. For real progress to be sustained, must move slowly. This way you'll learn more and you achieve progress, and gradually you will feel safer. Keep doing the things you already did it dominate, such as initiating and maintaining a conversation, and other things that are scary or difficult.


Remember once you understand how to stop being shy, you can become more confident, connect with others better and have and enormous amount of fun in social settings. As a social confidence coach, I’ve been able to observe repeatedly how learning this can turn a person’s life around.

There is a lot of advice out there on how to stop being shy. Regrettably, most of it comes from people who don’t have a real comprehension of the psychology of shyness, and it’s too naive or vague to actually do anything for you.

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.
