Here are the seven key habits for longevity: 1. A Balanced and Nutritious Diet Nutrition is one of the cornerstones of longevity. Antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables, fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, and healthy fats help slow down the aging process. Plant-based diets are also effective in reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. 2. Regular Physical Activity Physical activity supports not only physical health but also mental health. A daily 30-minute walk, yoga, or light exercises improve heart health, maintain muscle mass, and strengthen mental well-being. Staying active also helps preserve mobility in old age. 3. Supporting Mental Health Stress can accelerate the aging process, so managing stress is key to a long life. Practices like meditation, breathing exercises, and mindfulness help support mental health and contribute to longevity.4. Building Social Connections Strong social relationships prevent loneliness and depression, improving overall health. Studies show that socially active individuals tend to live longer, healthier lives. Friendships, family bonds, and community activities help strengthen mental health.5. Adequate and Quality Sleep Sleep is a process during which the body renews and heals itself. Regularly getting 7-8 hours of sleep strengthens the immune system, protects brain function, and reduces the risk of illness. Quality sleep is one of the most important factors for longevity.6. Continuous Learning and Keeping the Mind Active Mental flexibility and learning new things help maintain brain health and prevent age-related cognitive decline. Engaging in activities like learning new hobbies, reading, or solving puzzles contributes to a longer life.7. Regular Medical Checkups Regular medical checkups are essential for staying healthy and living a long life. Annual health screenings, blood tests, and early diagnosis can prevent or treat many diseases early on. Preventive healthcare is one of the most effective ways to ensure a long and quality life.As we can see, living to 100 years old is no longer just a dream. While genetics play a role in longevity, lifestyle habits have a significant impact on how long we live.According to Professor David Sinclair, who has written extensively on genetics and aging, aging is another disease that humans need to overcome. However, achieving this doesn&#x27;t require medications but rather a willingness to step out of your comfort zone.

The Seven Secrets to Longevity

Abraham Lincoln once famously said, &quot;In the end, it&#x27;s not the years in your life that count. It&#x27;s the life in your years.&quot; While the quality of your years on earth is likely important to you, there are many who also care about the quantity. Scientists have studied the habits of people who live long lives to determine which factors contribute to a healthier and longer lifespan.

The relationship between blood glucose levels and mood is bi-directional. While blood sugar can affect mood, a person&#x27;s mood can also affect blood sugar levels. Some studies show that mood and stress can cause fluctuations in blood sugar levels. This is because under stressful conditions, cortisol supplies glucose to the body by utilising protein stores through gluconeogenesis in the liver. This energy helps the person to fight or escape from any stressor. However, in the long term, high cortisol constantly produces glucose, causing blood sugar levels to rise. Maintaining balance in this bi-directional relationship helps to improve both one&#x27;s physical and mental health, as well as the quality of the relationships one builds. Knowing the possible symptoms that may develop in blood sugar fluctuations can help both the person and those around them to better manage the situation in the management of these symptoms.

Effects of Diabetes on Mental Health

Diabetes is a metabolic disease that affects mental health as well as physical health. Changes in blood sugar can directly affect mood. Having hyperglycaemia or hypoglycaemia attacks may affect the person&#x27;s thoughts and all areas of his/her life. This situation may cause stress in the person and may also reflect negatively on social relations. Knowing that diabetes has such effects can help the person to establish healthier relationships with themselves and the people around them.High blood sugar can affect mood as follows:<ul><li>Concentration difficulty</li><li>Tension and anxiety</li><li>Fatigue or low energy</li></ul>At the same time, the body may release adrenaline to stabilise blood sugar. This activates the body&#x27;s fight-or-flight response. This can lead to the following symptoms:<ul><li>Dizziness</li><li>Visual disturbances</li><li>High awareness</li><li>Restlessness</li><li>Irritability</li></ul>Symptoms of low blood sugar that can affect mood are as follows:<ul><li>Irritability</li><li>Feelings of anxiety</li><li>Confusion</li><li>Coordination, concentration and decision-making difficulties</li><li>Aggression and impatience</li><li>Personality and behaviour changes</li></ul>

Vitamin D also plays a role in the formation of sex hormones. A woman who does not have enough vitamin D in her body may not have a healthy response to estrogen, even if her healthy ovaries and circulating hormonal levels are normal.As can be understood from all this, vitamin D plays a very important role in our overall health. Therefore, it is important to meet our daily needs. It is beneficial to sunbathe in a safe amount in summer and to use vitamin D supplements in winter. It takes some time for vitamin D to be synthesized in the skin. To speed up the process, you can apply some olive oil or a thin layer of sesame oil to your body. In order to increase the absorption of supplements, you should definitely consume fatty foods beforehand.

Benefits of Getting Sunlight and Vitamin D

Exposure to sunlight in daily routine is essential for living a healthy life. According to a new study, sunlight increases the production of nitric oxide, which helps dilate blood vessels and improve their flow.It also provides sunlight to the internal setup of our biological rhythm. Our pineal gland needs bright sunlight during the day and darkness in the evening to produce melatonin. Therefore, our rhythm of light and dark during the day directly affects our sleep quality. Melatonin production is not just a determinant of the sleep cycle. It is also of great importance for the ovaries and fertility. It also determines mood and energy level by influencing many other cellular and hormonal functions. Perhaps most importantly, sunlight reacts with the skin to produce vitamin D, which reduces the risk of many diseases such as heart attack, diabetes and multiple sclerosis. It stimulates the pancreas to produce insulin, improves dental health, regulates muscle tone, relieves headaches and strengthens the immune system. Active vitamin D is one of the most potent cancer cell inhibitors. It provides protection against cancer by preventing out-of-control cell division. This makes it a protective shield against all types of cancer, including melanoma.

Following the theory of Hippocrates, 'There is no illness, there is only the ill individual,' rather than diagnosing, the treatment based on running the collapsed systems has resulted in a more quality life for me personally.

I received support from Dr. Murat Balanlı in the past years regarding ozone and other treatments. I found significant healing related to the treatment of my serious illness. I thank my doctor and all the clinic staff very much. The hospitality and hygiene were the most important details. Thanks a lot.

I met Dr. Murat last year. Our conversations about nutrition and healthy living were very enjoyable. I experienced a three-month IV therapy course with him and was very satisfied. I didn't get sick at all throughout the winter. I also quit smoking after the New Year. We had long discussions about this topic. I am considering continuing on the same path with Dr. Murat in the coming years.
