How many years can people live? Science reveals the surprising answer…

If you've ever wondered about the number of years people can live, the answer may surprise you.

Although many insist they can live forever, everyone dies.

But this does not mean that we should be discouraged from the idea of ​​staying as long as possible in life. According to the Guinness Book of Records, the oldest person in the world is the British Maria Branyas Morera, who at the age of 117 has surpassed the longest-lived man who is 111 years old.

Based on the fact that according to statistics people are living longer than before, scientists have recently given an answer to the question "how long will it be possible to stay alive".

Richard Faragher, a professor at the University of Brighton in Britain, writes in the study that before 1921 it was demonstrated that ages up to 105 years were possible.

Counting life expectancy limits so far all limits have been exceeded, such as the woman who reached the age of 122 years and 164 days, Jeanne Calment who died in 1997, whose record has not yet been exceeded.

That's why scientists say that her age is the most common for human life expectancy. It is generally accepted that 120 years is the current life expectancy limit. And it is not only for Calment's extraordinary record that this theory is raised, but also for the biology of the functioning of the human body, experts add.

"If we look at the degradation of organs with age and compare this to the age when we stop working, most calculations show that the limit for any person is about 120 years."

But the 120 limit is not completely defined for us humans as some scientists believe that we can live up to 150 years, of course if one wanted to live that long. Ken Watcher, a professor of demography and statistics at the University of California, has previously told the PBS network: The numbers of deaths and those of extreme age are decreasing so that we cannot give a high definition of the limit of life expectancy.
