Longevity is not only a predisposition to it, transmitted from parents to child.
Experts say that you can prolong your life on your own if you put in the effort.
The most effective methods were listed by medical expert Yana Orlova at the fourth Russian Diagnostic Summit, RIA Novosti reports.

According to Orlova, in the last 100 years alone, human life expectancy has almost doubled.
According to the expert, this fact is primarily related to the length of years that people live with chronic non-communicable diseases.
By influencing the inflammatory process in the body, it is possible to achieve real clinical success in the fight against aging.
However, longevity also depends on the person himself. In particular, the following factors help to increase the health and life expectancy of a person:
- physical activity;
- proper nutrition;
- healthy lifestyle.
Orlova admitted that not everyone can adhere to the above principles, but they are the key to longevity.
