ABSTRACT
Making life beautiful is a way of reaching a long, enriching and fruitful older age.
"Adaptism" is an explanatory current of human nutrition and feeding that intends to
attenuate the shameful existence of malnutrition in the 21
st century with reassuring
linguistic phrases for its generators. Today's generations are the result of
alternative periods of famine and plethora which selected the survivors. According
to the "Fetal Programming "or "Saving Phenotype" hypothesis, diseases at
adulthood is programmed by hormones and neurotransmitters during the critical
periods of fetal development. This hypothesis becomes the center of debates on the
alarming epidemiological behavior of diabetes, obesity and cancer at present.
Extension of life expectancy, as a result of a very successful combination of wellpreserved
system, good capacity to face stress, adequate life style and genetic
load, is accompanied by the prevention of non-communicable diseases. The actions
to attain this goal should begin before the intrauterine life of the fetus. Aging as
such is not an unsolved issue; the problem lies in marginalization, disease and
poverty that do not allow the elderly to have a decent life in many regions of the
world.
