Secrets

to Living

Long &Living Well

A long healthy life: It’s something virtually every person wants. At the dawn of a new millennium, people are living longer than ever before  life expectancies in most countries are on the rise, and it’s becoming more common to see people living past the age of 100. But living longer doesn’t always mean living better. The quality of life is as important as its length. Today, greater numbers of people are choosing to pursue careers that bring them greater personal fulfillment and work-life balance. And these days, more people are living active robust lives well into their senior years. For some, that comes down to the luck of genetics. But for many more, it’s because they have made the right choices on how to live.

In terms of longevity, we are fortunate to be living in this day and age. By some estimates, the human lifespan has doubled during the past century, to the point that the average person now lives 70.5 years. This recent progress in longevity has come about in the incredibly short span of just four generations.

 Of the three countries with the longest life expectancies, two are in Asia: Japan at 83.7 years and Singapore at 83.1 years, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Generally, more developed countries are where more people are living the most years.

There are good reasons for that. Breakthroughs in life sciences – medicine, biology, neuroscience, genetic engineering – and advances in public health and the environment have all made huge contributions to extending our time on earth. More people are making the conscious choice to live well to get more quality out of life. They would rather invest in what it takes to stay healthy and strong, rather than gamble that they won’t fall sick and then hope a cure exists for their ailments.

We cannot stop aging, but research into the causes of aging and what may work to slow down or ameliorate aging’s effects is a burgeoning eld in science. Nu Skin Enterprises, a U.S.-based company, has conducted its own research in this field, published in peer- reviewed journals, and developed genetics-based approaches to anti-aging that could help you look and feel younger for longer.

Making use of research into what is known as gene expression patterns, Nu Skin scientists have created unique formulas comprised of ingredients that positively impact gene expression so that gene expression patterns become similar to that of younger genes. Nu Skin calls these patented formulas its “ageLOC Science”.
