Longevity depends on lifestyle

As home to a significant number of centenarians, Bama Yao autonomous county in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region has attracted many visitors as well as property developers. The remote, mountainous county, despite some elements' attempt to capitalize on its new-found fame, shows how a simple but active lifestyle and a healthy environment make all the difference in longevity, says an article on gmw.cn. Excerpts:

More than 30 of every 100,000 people in Bama are centenarians, which is a fairly high ratio. Fascinated by the secrets of longevity in Bama, thousands of people, including terminally ill patients, have flocked to the remote county in recent years to collect local spring water and breathe the fresh air at the entrance to limestone caves. Some people crawl up the mountain slopes, believing the exercise to be the best way of absorbing energy from the soil.
