A report published by The Centenarian claims that Centenarians, people who live to 100, are the fastest growing group in the world right now. There are roughly 450,00 people 100 years old and older, according to current estimates, and people are only expected to get older!
In the words of one reader,
“My grandmother is 104 years young and lives in Saskatchewan, Canada. Born in Guangdong province, China. Never ate processed food, grew her own vegetables, boiled her water and always active. Never touched alcohol or smoked…That’s the secret! Congrats to all Centenarians!”
Is it that simple? Just eat a healthy diet and stay active and you can live to 100?
Living to 120 is someone’s God-given privilege?
“And the Lord said, ‘My Spirit shall not always strive with man, for he also is flesh; yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.’”
~ Genesis 6:3
After the Biblical account of the flood, Judeo-Christian tradition says that God set in motion a physiological limit to human life: 120 years. Many are now claiming that this is the reason why there is such a rise in centenarians today. Modern medicine, they suggest, is simply capitalizing on the natural boundaries of nature, and scientists are simply exploiting ways to enable people to live to their God-given age potential. This is an interesting theory because, in spite of their harmful diet and lifestyle decisions, people continue to defy nature’s limits and are living well beyond the physiological boundaries that have been put in place.
In addition to removing toxins, eating a well-balanced diet and keeping stress at bay, research has suggested that there are least three ways to promote longevity.
