研究表明,生活在寒带的人要比生活在热带的人长寿10-30岁。在寒带,每10万人口中的百岁老人竟是后者的几倍到几十倍。在寒冷的格鲁吉亚,虽然国家的总人口只有约500万,可那里的百岁老人竟有2000人之多,他们的长寿真的是得益于寒冷的环境吗?一个有趣的现象是:某些种子在1摄氏度下贮存十余年,甚至百年后仍然可能发芽生长;人
Research shows that people living in boreal areas live 10-30 years longer than those living in tropical areas. In the frigid zone, the centenarians in every 100 000 people are actually several times as many as the latter. In the cold of Georgia, although the country’s total population is only about 5 million, but there are as many as 2,000 centenarians there. Does their longevity really benefit from the cold environment? An interesting phenomenon is that some Seeds stored at 1 degree Celsius for more than ten years, or even after a hundred years may still germinate;
