Man Has Always Been in Motion and Seems to Be Created for Movement: Can Everyday Life in Balance Reverse the Process of Ageing?

If 'returning to nature', greater harmony with nature,working and being in contact with the earth, water and forest, as well as the contemplative aspect - admiration for the beauty of creation, will make it possible to stop or even reverse the ageing processes? A study awarded by the 2009 Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology ‘for the discovery of how chromosomes are protected by telomeres and the enzyme telomerase’, gave rise to the search for factors affecting the protection of telomeres and those affecting telomerase activity. The research on the quality of life essentially refers to the assessment of the level of inner balance and harmony of man with the surrounding world of people, animals and plants. Physical activity, taking care of more movement in everyday life, the ability to walk and fully use the muscles, awakening one's consciousness,maintaining moderation and balance between work and private life and relaxation prevent degradation, morbidity, disabilities and the development of civilization diseases.
