上一題
To discover the secrets of longevity, health specialists are studying people that reach ages well over 100. Researchers say that about 30 percent of aging is genetic. And for those who get to extreme old ages, family history may play an even more important role. For instance, Ruben Landau’s mother lived to 100. He is nearly 102, and still practices law. Dr. Thomas Perls also studies these superhuman centenarians, and he has found that many centenarians lack a certain gene, E-4, that’s associated with an increased risk of heart disease and Alzheimer’s. One study found the gene is in 29 percent of young men, but only 15 percent of centenarians. Perls is also trying to determine if those who reach 100 have some type of protective gene. Researchers are also finding that children of centenarians have a 60 percent reduced rate of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and high blood pressure. One day all this genetic research will lead to drugs that can slow the aging process. Other experts believe that good diet is very important. The Okinawans are famous for their longevity. They include lots of vegetables, tofu, miso, and little fish and meat in their diet. The elders in Okinawa have been through two world wars and credited this diet to the hardship of the wars - when people were extremely poor. This poor people’s diet will be the key for their longevity today. Besides good habits and diet, experts who studied the Okinawans also contribute their longevity to ‘ikigai’, which translates to “something that makes one’s life worth living.”

要發現長壽的秘訣，健康專家正在研究，達到年齡超過100人。研究人員說，大約30％的人口老齡化是遺傳的。而對於那些極端的晚年，家族病史可能發揮更為重要的作用。例如，魯本·朗的母親活到100。他是近102家，仍然沿襲著法律。托馬斯·皮爾斯博士還研究了這些超人的百歲老人，他發現，許多百歲老人缺少某種基因，E-4，這與心臟疾病和老年癡呆症的風險增加。一項研究發現，基因是在29％的年輕男性，但只有15％的百歲老人。皮爾斯還試圖確定是否達到100人的有某種類型的保護性基因。研究人員還發現，兒童的百歲老人有60％的降低率的心髒病，糖尿病，中風和高血壓。有一天，所有的基因研究將導致藥物，可以減緩衰老的進程。其他專家認為，良好的飲食習慣是非常重要的。沖繩是他們的長壽而聞名。它們包括大量的蔬菜，豆腐，味噌，在他們的飲食和一些魚和肉。在沖繩的長老已經經歷了兩次世界大戰，並計入飲食，以解民困的戰爭 - 當人們極其惡劣。這個可憐的人的飲食會今天他們長壽的關鍵。專家研究沖繩除了良好的生活習慣和飲食習慣，也有助於他們的長壽“ikigai”翻譯“的東西，讓一個人的生命價值的生活。”
