Tips for living beyond 120 years: The recipe for longevity

Living to 120 years is a possibility that many scientists and researchers are exploring, but that very few people manage to achieve. According to some experts, longevity depends on several factors, such as genetics, place of birth, living conditions and healthy habits. Some of the tips that have been given to live longer are:



 





- Follow hormone replacement therapy from the age of 40 onwards, to restore hormonal balance and slow down ageing.




- Eat a balanced diet, avoid overeating, drink alcohol in moderation and control overweight, obesity and diabetes.




- Take care of the microbiome, which is the set of micro-organisms that live in our body and influence our health.




- Control stress, get enough sleep and avoid emotional conflicts.




- Take regular physical exercise to keep the body and brain active.




- Take advantage of advances in stem cell research, which can repair organ and tissue damage.




- Knowing the human genome, to understand genetic predisposition to certain diseases and how to influence gene expression.




These are some of the secrets to living 120 years, according to Dr Manuel de la Peña, clinical cardiologist and academic Ernst von Schwarz, the Duke University Study Centre and the website Vibromancy.

Tips for a safe campfire: how to enjoy and take care of yourself in the heat

Hi, making a safe campfire is important to avoid accidents, fires and damage to the environment. Here are some tips you can follow: - Choose a suitable campfire site that has shade, ventilation and access to clean water. Avoid areas at risk of fire, flooding or pests. Respect the rules of the campsite and make sure that campfires are allowed. - Prepare a safety kit, including a fire extinguisher, shovel, blanket, first aid kit and telephone.

What is the carbon footprint and how can it be measured and reduced?

The carbon footprint is an environmental indicator that measures the amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) that are emitted into the atmosphere by human activity, whether from an individual, an organisation, an event or a product¹. These gases contribute to global warming and climate change, so it is important to reduce or offset the carbon footprint to protect the environment.   The carbon footprint can be measured according to different international standards, such as the GHG Protocol², ISO 14064-1³, PAS 2050 or ISO/TS 14067. These standards make it possible to calculate the direct and indirect GHG emissions associated with an activity, a product or a service, and to express them in tonnes or kilos of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e).   Different tools and applications are available to estimate the carbon footprint of an individual or an organisation, as well as to offer advice and solutions to reduce or offset it. For example, you can choose to use renewable energies, public tr...
