Russian scientists claim to have found a way to extend human lifespan in the country by 20-30 years. And it includes green and sour apples.
The sensational statement has been made by the head of a group of eco-population analysis at the Institute of biochemical physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences Valery Mamaev.
"Analysis of people"s mortality in various countries reveals that the aging process of people in many developed countries has altogether slowed down by approximately 15 years,” said Mamaev. “Russia in turn has a potential to be one of those countries. It is quite possible to extend people"s lifespan by 20-30 years without even having to invent anything.”
Life extension in developed countries depends mainly on peoples' desires to lead healthy lives, said the scientist. “People simply cannot believe that their health will improve after a few pushups," he added.
"A few years ago, Russian scientists managed to set a record in extending lifespan in lab mice. Back then, the use of antioxidants allowed to extend their the lifespan of lab mice by 1.5 times (56 per cent). Antioxidants are biologically active additives which are absolutely safe for the organism. Most often, people get them from drinking tea or eating apples, especially green ones," said Mamaev.
He added that five apples contain a daily value of antioxidants, "it is worth mentioning that sour apples, which do not even taste all that great are healthier than red, sweet and delicious ones. The latter kind in turn, contains almost no antioxidants."
"What's most important is people's desire to be healthy, and then we"ll be able to live just as long as people in Japan," said Mamaev.
