Many are afraid of old age, even in some media is a bit frowned upon and therefore we see famous men and women undergo surgeries and different treatments, we can also see men like Tom Cruise looking very, very good for his age, 60 years old, and we see other men of the same age who look totally different, we could say that even finished.
Para mí hay varios factores que pueden influir para llegar a una vejez avanzada o longeva, la primera es herencia, por ejemplo, tengo unos vecinos, una familia que aunque sabemos que no son unos jovencitos, la verdad algunos de ellos tienen más de setenta años y no los aparentan y su padre murió de 110 años.
For me there are several factors that can influence to reach an advanced or long-lived old age, the first one is inheritance, for example, I have some neighbors, a family that although we know they are not young, the truth is that some of them are over seventy years old and do not look it and his father died of 110 years.

Ahora bien, el otro factor o factores van desde la actitud, pensamientos, alimentación, por mencionar algunos, la actitud y los pensamientos son primordiales para llegar a la tercera edad, primero aceptando que no es una enfermedad, que se puede padecer de algunas patologías por herencia o tal vez por son consecuencia, pero si decidimos vivir esta etapa de la vida como algo que es un privilegio y con la sabiduría que nos brinda la experiencia y los años veremos todo de otra óptica, he visto personas asumir la vejez desde una mentalidad de, ya no puedo y puede ser cierto en algunos casos, pero otras veces creo que se trata de una idea que han decidido sembrarse en la cabeza.
Now, the other factor or factors range from attitude, thoughts, nutrition, to mention a few, the attitude and thoughts are essential to reach the third age, first accepting that it is not a disease, that you can suffer from some pathologies by inheritance or perhaps they are a consequence, But if we decide to live this stage of life as something that is a privilege and with the wisdom that gives us the experience and the years we will see everything from another perspective, I have seen people assume old age from a mentality of, I can no longer and it may be true in some cases, but other times I think it is an idea that have decided to plant in the head.
En cuanto a la alimentación, también podría influir mucho, pues el cuerpo suele ir cambiando al pasar los años y algunos alimentos nos pueden causar malestar y hacernos pasar malos ratos, ejemplo de ello muchos se hacen o descubren que la leche o lactosa no les presta para nada y entonces se van dejando de lado u optando por lo más saludable.
As for food, it could also influence a lot, because the body tends to change over the years and some foods can cause us discomfort and make us have a bad time, example of this many become or discover that milk or lactose does not lend themselves to anything and then they are leaving aside or opting for the healthiest.
Como un ejemplo de longevidad les comparto que mi abuela Carmen Castillo vivió hasta la edad de 99 años, ella era una mujer de estatura pequeña y tez morena, que no fue muy bien alimentada durante su niñez y que además logro sobrevivir a la fiebre tifoidea, pero con un temple y una determinación que tuvo prácticamente hasta el final de sus días, ella siempre se mantuvo activa y decía constantemente que si se encerraba en la casa o se quedaba inactiva sería lo peor para ella, siempre procuraba andar derecha, caminar bien y tener una actitud alegre ante la vida. El día que de verdad su cuerpo ya no pudo más, fue y cayó en cama y sé que para ella eso fue algo terrible, pues ella disfruta de su independencia.
As an example of longevity I share with you that my grandmother Carmen Castillo lived to the age of 99, she was a woman of small stature and dark complexion, who was not very well fed during her childhood and also managed to survive typhoid fever, but with a mettle and determination that she had almost until the end of her days, she always remained active and constantly said that if she locked herself in the house or remained inactive would be the worst for her, she always tried to walk straight, walk well and have a cheerful attitude towards life. The day that her body really couldn't take it anymore, she went and fell into bed and I know that was a terrible thing for her, because she enjoys her independence.
On the other hand, my mother, who died a month ago at the age of 74, I would have liked to enjoy her more, she was a cheerful woman who had beaten breast cancer, who liked to walk for health reasons and who also had a fighting attitude towards life, the difference between the two is that my mother's cardiac pathologies were greater than my grandmother's, she took much more medication and felt a little lonely after my grandmother's death, as they were very close.

En resumen, creo que para llegar a una vejez cómoda y que nos permita disfrutar de una edad dorada plena, lo primero es tener una buena actitud y asumirlo como lo que es, una etapa de la vida, pero que como tal debe ser disfrutada y sobre todo aceptada con dignidad, alegría y dando gracias por poder llegar a la misma, ya que no todos pueden, así me despido dejando por acá mi participación en La revolución de la longevidad ¿Cómo llegar saludables? Séptimo Día aprovecho para invitar a participar a mi amiga 
In summary, I think that to reach a comfortable old age and that allows us to enjoy a full golden age, the first thing is to have a good attitude and assume it for what it is, a stage of life, but as such it should be enjoyed and above all accepted with dignity, joy and giving thanks for being able to reach it, since not everyone can, so I say goodbye leaving here my participation in The revolution of longevity How to get healthy? Seventh Day I take this opportunity to invite my friend
