The Optimal Formula For Longevity And Healthiness

The” Blue Zone” is places in the world where people living longer and healthier without disability and medications. The” Blue Zone” having not only people reach centenarians but super-centenarians. What is the secrets of this longevity? Dan Buettner makes the research with his team National Geographic, and National Institute on Aging to find the people living in those places call Blue Zone, and asks them question about their lifestyle to live longer and healthier. Dan Buettner and his team find five places in the world. Those places call Blue Zone are the Italian Island of Sardinia; Okinawa, Japan; Loma Linda, California; Costa Rica’s Isolated Nicoya Peninsula; and Ikaria, an Isolated Greek Island. The people living in Blue Zone live a lifestyle witch is plants based diet, move naturally, know your purpose, religion (have faith), 80% rule, drink wine five, belong to the right tribe, down shift, loved ones first, stay social. Can we find these people in Blue Zone and having their same lifestyle in our community here in Fredericksburg? Let choose three lifestyles in Blue Zone and compare to our community here in Fredericksburg: Plants based diet, move naturally, Love one first.

My grandmother, who is in her 80s, is very active and still quite healthy. She says that she maintains her health by taking regular walks, caring for herself (making her own meals, doing her own laundry, etc.), and playing Mah Jong (to keep her brain running). One thing that makes her different from my other grandma is that she is always living with other people, be it my family or my aunt’s family. This makes it so that she has people to talk to, people to converse with. It keeps her happy after my grandpa died. I think that that is a crucial ingredient of the elixir of longevity. (123 words)

The Living Old program is about the United States of America population of people who are over 85 years old. This video was broken down into a six chapters. The first chapter was called, “Our Aging Society.” This chapter was about how the geriatric population is growing and changing our current society. In addition to the present changes, Doctor Audrey Chun commented on how people in the past died from pneumonia, flus, and other things such as infectious diseases. Whereas, in present time people are dying from chronic diseases such as hypertension, heart failure, strokes, diabetes and other things that require management over the years. This chapter also touched on how the current health care system is not set up to treat chronic diseases.

The average human lifestyle has drastically improved over the past several years. Advances in medicine and technology have directly led to an irrevocable increase in both the quality of living, as well as the length of average lifetimes. Prior to this modern revolution of medical applications, humans who lived during the middle ages were stricken with plagues, disease, injuries, and other difficulties with health that greatly wreaked havoc on mortality rates. Since remaining in a state of adequate health is so fundamental to human satisfaction and progression, individuals have historically centered the majority of their existence on ensuring that the underlying requirements necessary for life were being

Dan Buttner claims that it is impossible for Americans to live past 100 years old, and be healthy without chronic disease. He states excerise, community and an individuals diet contributes to a greater life expentcy. I belive this to be true, if an individuals takes good care of themeselves they can prosper to be a Centenarin.

The need for effective health care and incidence of chronic health conditions are expected to increase considerably with the aging of the baby boomers’ population. It is estimated that number of Americans with chronic health conditions will reach 150 million by the year 2030 (Joseph 2006). Furthermore, current long-term care facilities designed decades ago are lagging behind the legal regulation that were established, while not accommodating the needs of the staff and the clients comfortably. Some the facilities are facing regulatory challenges that emanate from the original design and intended use. Subsequently, the requirements for cost-effective long-term care facilities must be carefully considered and planned for to accommodate current and emerging needs of all stake holders. We need to redesign our facility to meet regulatory challenges, emerging technological needs and future health care needs of the consumers and other stakeholders. Successful and effective design in long-term care originates with a master plan. In this paper, I will focus on renovation of existing long-term care facility, summarize my research findings including explanation of the need for the facility renovation and summarize the research findings and describe the types of facilities and services offered in my local community, and explore the role of health care administrators in facilities planning decisions to meet legal and regulatory challenges while including the anticipated

I decided on an article written by CNN. Their article focused on 11 centenarians around the world who lived to blow out more than 100 candles on their birthday. What I found interesting was that most of them had a different routine. It was not vastly different from the other, but for example Agnes Fenton who lived to be 110 would drink three bottles of Miller High Life and a glass of whiskey every day. She began this diet 70 years ago, and the only health problem she faced was a benign tumor. Then we had Gertrude Weaver who lived to be 116, and she said her secret to a long and healthy life was being nice to other people the way you wanted them to be nice to you. She also accredited not drinking or smoking and getting plenty of sleep. The rest

A report published by the Orgainsation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) identifies lifespan as key societal wellness barometer. [1] The group is a forum created to improve financial, physical and mental wellbeing for all global citizens. [2] Through the organization, governments collaborate to improve the human condition. Using data gathered from various global sources, the group members make recommendations designed to improve humanity’s welfare. The research scope varies from high-level census data to detailed worldwide tax rates. Among these data, the organization recognizes remarkable improvements in human life expectancy over the last half century, which is now 80-years long. [1]

In our society today, the older population is a diverse and growing group with more and more individuals reaching the life stage of late adulthood, and even very late adulthood. According to Hutchison (2015), the late adulthood stage begins at 65 years of age and continues through 85 years of age and the very late adulthood stage begins at 85 and carries through until death. During the aging process, many changes occur within the body and mind as well as family structure and social roles. Individuals who have reached these life stages today may have lived through the Great Depression, the World Wars, the Civil Rights Movement, and many other important historic events, all of which have shaped their life experiences. For

The first half of my sixties will be spent planning for my retirement. Planning incorporates things such as ensuring I have saved enough money, focusing on spending time with work friends and begin planning trips for my post retirement phase of life. Turning sixty five is when life takes its most dramatic turn. The cyclical nature of life becomes apparent by this stage as I once again plan on transferring from a state of mind that was concerned for the experience of others into being concerned with how I perceive my own life. Returning back to this self-focus includes the idea of travelling again. With my partner by my side, I hope to once again explore as much of the world as I can with my time left. While visiting different countries I hope to embrace cultures and enjoy my life in ways I would have been afraid to do be for. Enjoying life in this phase does not mean extreme sports, but rather tasting new foods and dancing. Hence, I would define the latter part of my sixties as embracing life’s simple

Mankind has always had an infatuation with the concept of living forever or immortality. We’ve had expeditions to search of the fountain of youth within Florida; as well as Linus Paulin thinking he found the key to immortality through vitamins, and later dying from same cancer he claimed vitamins cured (Offit, "The Vitamin Myth: Why We Think We Need Supplements."). Now author and public speaker Dan Buettner found a new lead towards living a longer, healthier life. Buettner tracked down areas that he dubbed Blue Zone, a geographic area of the world where people live measurably longer lives, and thinks these areas hold the key to living a longer life. But does Virginia have potential to hold one of these Blue Zones? No, I don’t predict that any community or neighborhood in Virginia could adopt these lifestyles and or cultures. Most Virginia areas lack a sense of community, aren’t too social, practice lazy habits, and don’t typically have a strong “green” or healthy diet. During this paper I expect to represent that point and why these issues can be connected to our society's standards and expectations. So let's dive into what’s currently in the way.

This article is about the connection between the nursing staffing and the quality of life in nursing homes. The author discusses details about long-term care settings in particular nursing homes, the quality of care that is being provided, and the quality of caregivers (Shin, 2013). First, the author explains the need for long-term care settings. Almost 16,100 nursing homes care are open for 1.7 million seniors. With the rising population in the United States and the baby boomers are expecting to hit the retirement age the need for long-term care settings will be an essential to the health care industry. It is projected by 2030 approximately 70 million people will be between the age of 65 or older while 5 million people will be 85 years or older (Shin, 2013). This article raises concerns about the quality of care that is being delivered. Most of the elders are interested in the quality of care rather than just living in an uncomfortable environment. Elders, who transition to a nursing home experience a huge time of their day alone, which makes it harder to take care of themselves. Many long-term care residents face a strict and a loss of privacy, which can cause distress and increase the risk of illness. Seniors expect a standard of care in
