Many of us dream of living a long and healthy life. To achieve this goal, we change our lifestyle, watch our diet and regularly consult doctors. However, longevity depends not only on our efforts, but also on heredity, attitude towards life and the body's internal resources. So how can you tell if you have a tendency to live a long life, and what symptoms can indicate this?

Everyone can live a long life, but various diseases, stresses and external factors can affect our health and longevity. However, there are some people who, due to their genetics and lifestyle, have a chance at longevity.

There are several "symptoms" of a long life:

Equilibrium. Long-livers often have an excellent ability to maintain balance. This indicates normal brain function and cerebellar blood flow. The brain sends the right signals and receives adequate responses from the muscles.

Reaction speed. Reaction speed can also indicate the potential for long life. If an older person has a quick reaction time and their response to external stimuli is fast, this indicates that they are maintaining optimal nervous system function and activity.

Clear speech. Long-lived people often retain clarity of speech and avoid forgetfulness and slurring. This indicates a normal blood supply to the speech center, interest in life and active communication.

Handshake strength. Handshake can also be an indicator of potential longevity. Those who are able to maintain a strong and confident handshake usually have well-developed muscles and an active lifestyle.

It is important to remember that longevity depends on many factors, and there are no guarantees. However, taking care of your health, living an active lifestyle and keeping physically and mentally active can help increase your chances of living a long and quality life.
