Why people are living longer
Nowadays, with the advancement of medical technology for disease prevention and disease diagnose and a better understand of what kind of food that we are consuming, for preventing disease, people are living longer.
There is no doubt that one of the factor that has more contributed for people living longer is the advancement of medical technology. For example: With the advancement of vaccineS, people are NO longer dying when they get Measles, Rubella or even Chicken Pox as THEY DID before. Nowadays, people are getting immunized since their early ages FROM CHILDHOOD(.) This way they preventS PROTECTS THEM from getting ANY OF those infections.
Advancement IN Computer Image Technology in medical field as for example: MR, CT scan and colonoscopy is also helping out doctors to be more PRECISE IN their diagnosis(,) by helping out doctors to find out the EXACT location and having an idea of the OF ANY SUSPECTED tumor. Sometimes they are able to CONTAIN the GROWTH OF THE tumor AND AVOID HAVING TO PERFORM an invasive procedure.
Development and investment in new drugs research is also helping PEOPLE to combat certain diseases. Although, scientists HAVE NOT YET discovered a definitive cure for AIDS, nowadays in some countries, people who are contaminated with AIDS are able to live longer. By taking a NUMBER of drugs SIMULTANEOUSLY their SYSTEMS are able to fight back against opportunistic infections due to the AIDS.
As we all know “We are what we eat”. Nowadays, due to scientific researches and by observing certain populations diet, we NOW have OBSERVED that by eating certain kinds of foods WE help our BODIES to prevent from FIGHT certain types of diseases and consequently living longer. For example: Tomato and guava fruit contain a substance called Lycopen which help people out to prevent] from PROTECT THEMSELVES AGAINST prostate cancer. For all THE reasons that I have described above, I strongly believe that with the advancement of medical technology and by knowing more about what we are eating, WE are helping people TO livE longer. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Good morning Spoon.
