After 10-15 years in pharmacies will appear tablets, the reception of which will allow people to live a minimum of 100 years and longer, while maintaining strong health and clear reason, say US scientists.

With such a forecast came Dr. Tom Perls. He leads a group of scientists conducting a research in the state of New Hampshire called "Centenarian Stage" in order to identify the factors that guarantee a person a long and healthy life, according to the Internet edition for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. Net Scientists in the framework of this program study the way of life of long-livers. Among the participants 113-year-old Mary Joe Ray, who occupies the 12th line in the world list of the oldest inhabitants of the planet. Specialists found out that she belongs to an exceptional group of people, carriers of the "special gene", which, in the absence of bad habits, practically guarantees a healthy life for a person up to 110 years and longer. This gene is inherited and meets once for 7 million people, scientists noted..

According to experts, a person can safely live up to 80 years, but a high level of cardiovascular diseases, age-related dementia and other diseases significantly reduces the life span in our time. It is possible to maintain a healthy lifestyle, but it is unlikely to survive to a hundred years. A "special gene" slows down the aging process and protects it from diseases, which allows its owners to live much longer. While a miracle pill is being developed, the doctor advises not to smoke, not to abuse alcohol and not to be stressed.
