Resumen

To talk about aging, it is necessary to understand how the pace and lifestyles have changed over time,
a hundred years ago, life expectancy was less than 60 or 70 years of age. Mortality increased in the early stages of life, people could even die from a stomach ache; however, those who managed to reach 50, 60, 70 years, or more, were the minority. People had a different lifestyle and a healthier diet than what is lived today, everything was more natural.
The exercise was done without going to the gyms, it was not necessary, because people walked long distances because of necessity or discipline, and they also
used to get up early. These habits maintained their physical and mental health. With this lifestyle, there was the opportunity to have a more contemplative and quiet life, since there was contact with nature.
