"A 15-year study out of Greece finds people who live in mountainous
areas live longer and are less likely to die of heart disease than
those who reside in lowland areas
The study focused on 1,150 residents of three Greek villages. One of
the villages is located in a mountainous area about 1,000 meters
(nearly 10,000 feet) above sea level, while the other two villages are
located on the plains. The residents of all three villages have similar
livelihoods -- the women are usually homemakers, the men tend to
farming or raising livestock.
At the start of the study in 1981, blood samples and information on
risk factors such as gender, age, weight, smoking habits, blood
pressure and alcohol consumption were collected from each participant.
This initial information suggested that, overall, men and women living
in the mountain village had a worse coronary heart disease risk profile
than the people living in the two lowland villages. The mountain
village residents had higher rates of circulating blood lipids and
higher blood pressure.
Over the following 15 years, 150 men and 140 women in the study died.
Of those deaths, 67 were attributable to coronary heart disease.
However, the mountain-village residents had lower death rates, as well
as lower rates of death from heart disease, compared with residents of
the lowland villages.
Because the mountain residents had higher blood lipids and blood
pressure, they must have other "protective" factors, the researchers
concluded. They noted that living at moderately high altitude causes
long-term physiological changes in the body that enable it to adapt to
lower levels of oxygen. This, along with the effort required to
regularly walk uphill on rough terrain, could provide the mountain
residents with better heart workouts, they conclude."
So eleveation means less oxygen, but it also means less gravity.
The total effect of elevation is to decrease gravity by ~ 0.2 mGal/m.
Thats not much, but maybe it is enough over a lifetime, to preserve
some of that energy in your hydrogen atoms.
Gravity wants to slow them down, to remove energy from your atoms.
And yes over time your body will collect crud, and that crud can also
work to affect your oxygen atoms, maybe robbing them of the odd
electron, but your body deals with crud all the time.
Aging is not just oxygen related but it is also the fact that repairs
are less frequent when damage occurs. But apprently studies on mice
have shown you can gain 40% more life, by dealing with the ROS issue.
So that would mean 140 as opposed to 100 years. And more healthy years,
not years of anguish. You would be younger looking and healthier,
stronger etc.
So there is probably some method that can be created quite esasily I
would think.
Something like an x-ray machine of the correct frequency to recharge
your oxygen atoms may be sufficient.
