To reach Centennial
More than 14 000 people in Spain have fulfilled the 100 years of life. This number is increasing thanks to improvements in health, hygiene and food. Although it is often the genetic endowment that determines the longevity of the person, we can not forget that there are many external factors that can affect the life expectancy and that the goal is not to live more years, but to live with a minimum of wellbeing.
It is inevitable that, according to years, begin to suffer aches, but with a healthy lifestyle, those aches do not pass to older. That is why it is so important to stay active physically and mentally, to abandon harmful habits such as tobacco and excess alcohol and, of course, to take care of food. Of the latter we will speak below.
