\"\"Muchos creen que el secreto para una vida larga es la gen\u00e9tica o el estilo de vida. Pero seg\u00fan estudios, los factores gen\u00e9ticos contribuyen s\u00f3lo en un 20 \u00f3 30% de la esperanza de vida, por lo que el resto est\u00e1 en nuestras manos.<\/p>\n

Adem\u00e1s de una dieta rica en frutas y verduras, no fumar, beber con moderaci\u00f3n y reducir el estr\u00e9s, un ingrediente para tener una gran calidad de vida es la amistad.<\/p>\n

Investigadores de la Universidad Brigham Young publicaron un estudio que involucra a 308,849 individuos, con un promedio de 64 a\u00f1os de edad. Se encontr\u00f3 que las personas que tienen lazos sociales fuertes tienen 50% m\u00e1s posibilidades de vivir otros 7.5 a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n

Otro estudio australiano encontr\u00f3, en 188 personas de m\u00e1s de 100 a\u00f1os de edad, que uno de los factores para llevar una vida larga era tener una red cercana de amigos y familiares.<\/p>\n

Why Friends May Be Your Ticket to Living to 100<\/strong>
\nMost of us accept that the secret to living to a very old age is either down to genetics or lifestyle. In reality, it’s a bit of both, with genetics actually only contributing 20-30 percent of the likelihood of living to 100.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, lifestyle is the bit that we can control, so most longevity research (research into lifespan) has focused upon this. Most of us know that eating a diet rich in fruit and vegetables, not smoking, drinking in moderation, and reducing stress in our lives is the way to go.<\/p>\n

But one additional vital ingredient is missing from this menu. That ingredient is friends! It turns out that the positive effect of regular social contact to a persons’ health is about as strong as the effect of blood pressure, smoking, alcohol habits, obesity, and eating a healthy diet.<\/p>\n

The conclusion was startling: People who enjoyed strong social ties had a 50 percent increased likelihood of survival over a measured period of 7.5 years compared with people with weak or no social ties.<\/p>\n

And a 2010 Australian study that looked at 188 people over the age of 100 found that having a close network of family and friends was a highly significant factor in their lifespan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
