It’s a fact that people from developed countries leave longer and longer. A Spaniard life expectancy in 1900 was 40 years old, a Portuguese in 1960 was 60 years of age, and life expectancy of new-borns in this century is more than 80 years foreseeing that individuals of this generation may have a life expectancy close to a hundred years.

The increase in life expectancy is essentially due to the general improvement of sanitary conditions at all levels, the large reduction of perinatal mortality, the efficiency of new ways to cure infectious diseases, to medicine progress and the development of new medicines, but also to the adoption of new and healthier behavioural lifestyles, namely in regard to physical exercise practice and the adoption of a more sane and balanced diet.

Actually, causes of death are mainly linked to cardiovascular issues, some of genetic origin, but most of all resulting from bad eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle, but being capable of early detection or modification. Cancer and degenerative diseases such as Parkinson and Alzheimer, that had in the past less influence because people majority would die earlier from other pathologies, are also important causes of death.

Facing these facts, it is justified to evaluate the process of biological ageing performing the Genetic and Ortomolecular Check-Up by Clínica do Tempo®, in order to attain a better life quality, living longer but in a better health state.

Besides, the Food Reeducation and Behavioural Program and Body Modelling by Clínica do Tempo®, enables an individualisation of the alimentary regime and weight and fat excess reduction, in a healthy and permanent way. So it is possible to timely prevent different pathologies, of genetic origin or related to lifestyle and life experiences, hence prolonging longevity.
