In 2050, we hope to live longer.
With the way medical advances are heading, there is no reason why we should not believe the average human life span will lengthen in a span of 35 years. Approximately 100 years ago, life expectancy for men was 45.6 years; in 50 years it had risen to 66.4; and by 2007 it had reached a peak of 75.5 years, which is where we still stand today. Of course, the life expectancy is different in every part of the world, as seen in the image below:
As you can see, countries like Japan, Australia and Sweden have high expectancy rates of around 80 years, and this is mostly due to their diets and lifestyles. Nagano and Okinawa, communities in Japan, have the highest life expectancy in the world- many say that the secret to their longevity is their healthy diet, regular physical activity, extended work years and aggressive government intervention. The entire population of the world can live till over 80, if certain dietary rules were to be established, and if civilians were encourage to retire later in life. A system could be developed by governments worldwide that could dole out specific proportions of food per district to every person depending on their body condition and dietary needs, and have exercise plans corresponding to people's body fitness.
Elimination of all diseases would certainly be ideal by 2050, considering technological advances should allow us to do so by then. If the average human being was more aware of their mental and physical health, it would go a long way to avoid cases of child obesity. The best step forward is to educate the youth of our generation to make better choices in their diet and lifestyles.
