There are many organizations dedicated to exploring the causes behind aging, ways to prevent aging, and ways to reverse aging. In Turkey there are many accounts of long-lived humans, the oldest being Zaro Ağa living to be 160 years old.Zaro Agha, who lived for 160 years, between the years of 1774- 1934, is the longest living human being ever known ( http://www.time.com/time/magazine/art...,9171,769947-2,00.html *Died. Zaro Agha. circa 160. a Turk believed to be the oldest man in the world; of uremia; in Istanbul.

Because of his long life, he became a topic of interest in the West, and in 1925 he visited Italy, the US in 1930, and Germany in 1931(http://www.casperstartribune.townnews.c om/articles/2005/12/30/news/casper/27681 b4fee72a91d872570430005c363.txt *Him again -- Zaro Agha was in the news again, coming to America to get a set of false teeth.

Many media outlets in the west and in Turkey conducted interviews with him, and wrote about interesting details about his life(http://www.time.com/time/magazine/a rticle/0,9171,738854-1,00.html *Turk In Istanbul, Turkey, toothless Zaro Agha who claimed he was 156 years old, had buried n wives, had never taken a drink of liquor, received an invitation from the American Anti-Alcohol Society to visit the U.S. Onion -http://www.iht.com/articles/2005/09/26/ news/OLD27.php *1930: Taxi Hits Oldest Man NEW YORK: Zaro Agha, the 156-year-old Turk who came out of the ancient East to show the modern world what the oldest living man looks like, fell victim to modernism today [Sept. 26], and is near death. An automobile knocked him down on busy 20th-century Broadway. Physicians say his condition is critical. Agha, who came to the United States several months ago to give scientists an opportunity to marvel at him, was standing on the curb with his great-grandson, who is acting as his manager. An automobile grazed him and knocked him down, his head striking the pavement. He was taken unconscious to a drugstore and then to a hospital. The taxi driver disappeared in traffic.- http://www.brow.on.ca/Books/Thoughts/... *Zaro Agha worked as a porter, and died in an Istanbul hospital on June 29, 1934 at the age of 164.- http://www.nlag.net/Sermons/Transcrip... *In fact, Zaro Agha became a father for the last time at the age of 90 and lived on to see that child's 74th birthday!-http://bucklesw.blogspot.com/2 006_07_01_bucklesw_archive.html *For the first time in London a Turkish gentleman, Zaro Agha by name, who has just celebrated his 156th birthday and is far and away the oldest man in existence.). So if we see what these people did in common we can have very good hints about longevity What Zaro Ağa did briefly is simply eating yogurt, bulgur with black cumin seeds,not eating late and working in jobs demanding physical activity like working in constructions.Another person who lived long was Vehbi Koç the richest person of Turkey.Vehbi Koç has always advised people to sleep half an hour in the afternoon.I think it is not enough to eat natural foods. The only way of regenerating your body is sending the food ingredients with a good blood circulation.And what other long-lifed people do is to have cold showers to improve their blood circulation.Some ideas from me is combining cold showers with 1 clove garlic,7 hot peppers called cayenne,one table spoon garlic powder each day for better blood circulation,to eat natural foods and praying &helping others to place positive energy with negative energy and to be only afraid of God.If you want to change ideas with me you can write to :hitturkey24@/yahoo.com Best RegardsIbrahim Tutuncuoglu
