The Future of Longevity
Prof. Dr. Oytun Erbaş stated that human lifespan could reach up to 150 years in the near future thanks to medical technologies, medications, and organ transplants.
He emphasized that 120 years could be seen first with medications, and then this period could easily reach 150 years through diet and transplants.
The Formula for Living to a Hundred
It was conveyed that a person can easily live to 100 years even today with the formula of consuming fewer calories and exercising a lot.
While life expectancy at birth in Turkey has risen to 78.5 years, living a long life ceases to be impossible with the right strategies.
Historical Process and Hygiene
It was recalled that in the past, simple diseases led to mass deaths, and the biggest causes of death in the Middle Ages were infections and a lack of hygiene.
It was stated that sewage systems and the habit of handwashing significantly reduced fatal diseases such as plague and cholera.
Organ Transplants of the Future
Among the medical technologies of the near future, it is anticipated that organ transplants from animals to humans can be performed.
It is noted that blood types have been erased in animals through genetic modifications, and this situation will revolutionize transplantation processes.
Healthy Living Habits
It was noted that the fundamental formula for longevity is consuming fewer calories, eating a diet weighted toward vegetables and fermented foods.
Additionally, having a quality sleep schedule and staying physically active on a daily basis are of great importance.
