Why can turtles live so long?

Why does the tortoise live so long? The phrase "tortoise in 1000 years and 80,000 years" well explains the life span of the tortoise. I once joked that the turtle, a creature, can send you away after being raised. It seems like a joke, but it indirectly illustrates the powerful life of the tortoise. But in fact, the tortoise has the longest life span, that is, more than 300 years old. We will study the living habits and physiological functions of turtles to explain why their life span is so long.

Zoologists must also be curious about the mystery of turtles' longevity. Even if we live for a hundred years, they can live for a hundred years, and some even approach a thousand years. After observation and research by experts, it is found that turtles live longer than those who eat meat and omnivores as long as they feed on plants. It seems that if you want to live a long life, you should eat more vegetables and not be picky about food.

The second point is the unique body structure and living environment of the tortoise. The tortoise has a hard shell, which can protect its body well and prevent it from being hurt by the outside world. The hard shell makes his natural enemies very few. At the same time, it is found that turtles have the habit of sleepiness. They sleep about 65,438+00 months a year, including hibernation and summer sleep. As soon as they go to sleep, their metabolism becomes slower and their energy consumption is extremely low, which lays the foundation for their longevity.

After searching the data, it is found that the cell reproductive ability of turtles is particularly strong, which is several times stronger than that of humans. This shows that the turtle's cells are very active, which is equivalent to the strong vitality of cells. As long as the cells are vigorous, the mystery of life span will be solved. With slow metabolism and strong cell vitality, such creatures should have a long life span.

In fact, it's easy to make yourself live longer. As long as you are in good health, you can exercise regularly, don't stay up late, don't be picky about food, and eat more vegetables. As long as you are in good health, you can persist for a long time.
