  1. According to the video, scientists studying every aspects of longer people, one of them is the special diet.

    We can live longer by eating less calories, thats not proven, but scientists said its probably.

    Another theory said about to drink red wine, extended the lifespan of mice.

    We have to drink 1000 glasses in red wine each day to have similar effect like mice.

    Chad Cohen concludes that scientists believe that with a good diet, the muscle deterioration and the cancer could have a cure, but it´s just a theory yet.

    1. According to videos about Longevity; Stephen Mack states that a long lifespan not only does include healthy and unhealthy habits but also it includes changes in our own body.
      Scientists believe that people can enjoy a long term life if they take care of different aspects such us; having a balanced diet, eating healthy and exercising regularly.he mentions that we can live longer If we eat less calories, thats not proven, but scientists said its probably.he believes that drinking wine we can live more than now.
      Besides they put an especial attention in resveratrol that is a component of red wine which they claim combined with a low calories diet can let people enjoy a prolonged life. So, they conclude that keeping longevity includes many aspects as healthy, unhealthy habits and mutations that sometimes act in our favor.katherine sanchez sandoval.

  2. This is about a study of longevity. It takes a group of people to studying aspects of their long-term people. Biologist think that they could have had a luxury life with the best conditions or a amazing environment. But there was a surprise because Otherwise they said that their life was common as everyone, They wasn´t vegetarian, they eat also junk food. Scientists made studies of the centenarians, in their blood could identify that 60% of them have high levels of HDL "good cholesterol" and in their DNA could observe particular mutations in different genes that distinguished them from the popular people it mean that this mutation protect them from cardiovascular diseases and others illness. An specific term for this mutation was "Sirtuins" and the more powerfull is "Sir 2". They saw about characteristics in the lifestyle and food, scientist explain that a glass of wine could help us because their investigations inform us of "reservatol" a compound found in red wine assures us an extended lifespan accompanied by a low calorie diet or a calories restriction produces the activation of the sirtuins or so called longevity genes.

  3. The Longevity video is about how this old people that live longer and why this happens. Biologists have been researching this kind of people that seems to have nothing especial but live longer; they have found that a longevity gen made them live for more years; also the experiments done so far have confirmed that a gene called sir2 has an special effect on the longevity and they are close to discover what this gene does.However, there is a High-density lipoprotein which its job is to put away the cholesterol from the human organism given that it's bad for the body and this HDL is higher in old people, so they are still looking for the reason why these people have HDL in a higher amount than others; they also mention that drinking wine would help to live longer but the amount necessary for this would have to be 1000 glasses of wine a day.

  4. People try to find the key of longevity. Some scientifics believed that there is a relation between "calories restriction" and "Living longer". First, animal testing in laboratories show us that animals like mice live longer with calories restriction in his diet. Also, new researches said that, "Preliminary results from an ongoing study show that reverastrol, a compound found in red wine, extended the lifespan of mice on high calorie diet by 10 - 20 %." Not only that, studies in ancient people give us an extraordinary conclusion that 60% of centenarian people who have HDL cholesterol, a good cholesterol, protect theirselves in cardiovascular diseases. So that is why scientifics believed that a diet low in calories could be an answer for live more longer that we expected. Despite all of this fact, scientifics said that there is no a real human proof in what is the key of longevity. We can not say that eating less in calories is a certain fact to live longer but it would be an option for live a healthy life.

  5. The video shows how some people have managed to live a long life without doing diets or being vegetarians and some of them even smoke. They didn´t do the things that doctors and specialists recommend to do and they are still alive. So specialists analized them and found a special gen, a longevity gen that have special mutations.These mutations can defend them from cardiovascular problems and other illness.
    Also, studies have proved that in red wine there is a special compound called resveratrol that can extend our life if we drink 1000 glasses of it per day.

  7. In the video, it’s is shown how some people have managed to live longer that the majority of us. An explanation for this could’ve been the consequences of a healthy life; however, when asking this group of persons, they assured that none of them ever considered diets as a way of life. Also, they mentioned that ‘longevity’ wasn’t really strange in their families; in fact, plenty of their family members have lived as long as they are doing right now. That’s why scientists have been studying the key for longevity in these people, finding a special gene that may be the cause of such a long life. They’ve been trying to find a way to use it for the rest of the people, but until now it hasn’t been possible.

  8. The video show an investigation about longevity.

    Specialists have analized the system of some people who have lived longer without following any kind of advices that they have recommended.

    Specialists mentioned that because an specific gen called HDL (High density lipoprotein) the DNA of those people have developed particular mutations which distinguished them from others. These mutations have protected them from cardiovascular diseases and some illness.

    Furthermore they have proved that in red wine there is a compound called resveratrol which can extend the life.

  9. Many scientists are trying to find the key or elixir to live more than now. First, scientists discover that the 60% of a group of ancients who have a great amount of the HDL cholesterol which is the good one don’t suffer from much illness, and also they protect them from cardiovascular disease. Furthermore, many animals testing proof that animal as mice live longer having a diet restriction and drinking red wine as a result people would life 30 or 40 years more. Finally, scientists would recommend us drink red wine and eat fewer calories in our every food is an effective way to live longer but nobody knows which is the elixir key to live longer and healthy.

  10. The video show us that scientists are looking for a new drug that acted like the gen daf2 which when combined with a low calories diet can make mice live twice a long and it make resistant to heart and disease and cancer,and also they have discovered that wine contains something similar but we would have to drink 1000 glases per day !!
    They hope they will find the drug in 5 or 10 years.

  11. This video shows us how a group of older people have a long lifespan and what would be the secret. Scientifics studying these people to know what they do to have a longer life despite not follow the doctor's recommendations and doing the opposite. Scientifics explains these people have HDL cholesterol that is good. Also, they've special gene that helps to get less insulin so that they can live more. Scientifics concludes that eating healthy food low in calories and drink red wine, which contains "resveratrol", can extend our lifespan. But, red wine can help us to get results only if we drink 1000 glasses per day.

  12. This videos show us how many scientists in the last years made investigations about longevity. specialists have analized some centenarians who haved live more than 9o years without any kind of diet.
    scientists discover that 60% of centenarians have amount of HDL and that protect them from diabetes and cardiovascular diaseases.In addition they have a particular mutation in their DNA that make them different from us.
    Finally, scientists believe that if we eat less and drink at list 1000 cups of red wine per day we will live longer, but it´s not proven yet.

  13. In this video about longevity,the reporter want to explain us How people hanve a longer life. The reporter said that if we have a simple dietary,it could "make an organism live longer."
    With the passing of the years scientist see that for some people is difficult to do that,live more than 70 years. However, scientist states that reduction in calories and adequate diet in humans allow them to live too much time. To conclude,drinking red wine, avoiding junk food,doing excercising, etc. we could live healthly and enjoy more our live,even the age.

  14. This video is about a study of people who live longer and their secret of LONGEVITY. Scientists state that there are certain genes that allow this people to live longer and also that having a diet will extend the life. Scientifics found high levels of HDL cholesterol this people’s blood and also they say that “It protect them from age-related disorders like diabetes or cardiovascular diseases.” They also have found that a gene called Sir2 which make the live fifty percent longer. Furthermore, scientists say that “Damaging the gene called DAF2 the life will be extended twice as long and also reducing levels of insulin keep on survival genes too. Besides, scientists think that cutting calories we will prolong life, however, this people didn’t make any diet to live longer. Scientists conclude that there is a compound of red wine called resveratrol that can extend the life, but it has to be consumed in large quantities.

  16. In this video the reporter tries to answer the question How can people live so long and be vigorous?. According to the answers of the interviewed, they continue their life how they were in their adulthood but with the habituals changes of the elderly age. So, researchers try to find genetic answers looking for the key of longevity. They have found that the majority of elderly persons who have HDL cholesterol can live more time because it is a good cholesterol in our blood that eliminate the bad cholesterol and keeping us with health.

  18. In this video, scientists try to explain us the mechanisms of aging and longevity in order to extend healthy and productive human lifespan.
    Numerous studies demonstrate that many manifestations of aging can be postponed or even reversed, and that lifespan can be significantly extended in experimental animals. Moreover, studies indicate that longevity is based on two major factors, genetics and lifestyle choices. One of them is related to what we eat and how our balanced diet is, which it means, the less calories the better. Reflections on longevity have usually gone beyond acknowledging the brevity of human life and have included thinking about methods to extend life, which is very interesting indeed!

  19. The videos explain that longevity is not neccessarily related to eat healthly food. Biologists, scientits investigating a group of people who are over ninety years old trying of answer about "What is the secret?". However, they find others factors as genetic family, HDL (High density lipoprotein)"good cholesterol" , DNA with a special mutation to protect them from risk and illness. Furthermore, scientits recognize resveratrol a component in red wine can extend the lifespan. To conclude, there are many recommendations for long life, but that are not being fully tested.
