Michael Douglas' parents have over 100 years: Talking to Psychologists

Kirk Douglas, actor, producer, director and author, celebrated the 103rd birthday in early December last year. That he is a living legend is confirmed by his son, actor Michael Douglas, in an emotional post at the Instagram, stressing that his whole family sends him all the love of their hearts.

Kirk's view betrays the years, but he's still vital at that age. Together with his wife Anna, who is 100 years old, he was with his son Michael in the Hollywood Walk of Fame to support him after his famous star was discovered.

We can't stop age, nobody escaped death, but still, there are people who live longer. Why?

Fatalists have their own religious explanation, but many of them seek explanations in science.

Howard S. Friedman, professor of psychology at the University of California and Leslie R. Martin, professor of psychology at LaSiere University, coauthor of the Lifetime Project, conducted a study that traced 1,500 Americans over 80 years and focused on the reason that some people have lived much longer than others.

Friedman and Martin discovered that the healthier people were the ones who lived meaningful, committed lives: they worked hard, achieved much for their families, fostered close relationships, and were very persistent, responsible, and conscientious.

Instead of focusing on ingurt, meditation, and vitamins, they were devoted to things and people,” says Friedman. There are numerous scientific evidence to suggest that physical activity is the key to a long life.

Functional exercise is neither necessary, although if you want training, continue to do that -- Friedman advises, adding: Just keep moving. If you can climb the stairs, don't use the elevator. If you can walk, don't use the tram. If you are thirsty, get up, do not ask your partner or your other family for water. Everything matters, even the slightest effort. Taste the challenges at work but also generally

For good health and long life, many people feel that they should avoid working hard and enjoying a lot of rest, but researchers have found that doing otherwise.

The “those who worked hard and achieved so much have succeeded in many ways and in many other areas,” ends Friedman. It's a common misunderstanding that all stress is bad. But you should remember that chronic physical disorders are not the same as hard work and challenging or challenging careers.

Stay socially connected

When it comes to longevity, it is not important to stay active not only physically and psychologically, but also socially. Being in contact with family members, friends and colleagues, doing things together and helping others, whether at work or through voluntary activities, Friedman and Martin say.

Think About Marriage

People in stable and fulfilling marriages are usually healthier. In the study, men usually performed best in long - term marriages, while marriage was healthy for women who could find a man devoted to supporting them.

Surround yourself with healthy, happy, happy people

-One of the best ways to go on a healthy path is to surround yourself with other healthy and active people. Join society and participate in community evacuations, as they are the way to life.
