8.Researchers from the University of Copenhagen, based on a study of 176 healthy Japanese centenarians who lived more than a hundred years, found that they all share a certain mixture of bacteria and viruses in the stomach.
It produces completely new molecules that make them resistant to pathogens.And the logic of the researchers is simple: since the intestines of centenarians are better protected from infections, this is probably one of the reasons why they live longer than others.
And while it's impossible to change people's genetic predisposition, scientists suggest they can change someone's gut biome to include a unique “long-lived” blend.
