Studying the Composition and Properties of Mountain and Melt Water of Bulgaria and Russia as Factors of Longevity

Abstract

This paper shows that mountain and melt water is among the most important factors for longevity. Other factors are – hereditary, gender, body weight, food, movement, psychological status, family relationships. Natural waters derived from various Bulgarian water springs, as well as melt water and blood serum of cancer patients between 50 and 70 years old were investigated by IR, NES and DNES-methods. As estimation factor was measured the values of the average energy of hydrogen bonds (∆E_H...O) among H₂O molecules, as well as local extremums in DNES- and IR-spectra of various samples of water and human blood serum, detected at -0.1387 eV and wavelength – 8.95 μm. For a group of people in critical condition of life and patients with malignant tumors the greatest values of local extremums in DNES- and IR-spectra are shifted to lower energies relative to the control group. The IR-spectrum of mountain water is most similar to the IR-spectrum of blood serum of healthy group of people with a local maximum at l = 8,95 mm. The authors applied the NES- and DNES-methods for calculation of the average energy of hydrogen bonds (∆E_H...O) among H₂O molecules in the samples, as well as the percent distribution of water molecules according to energies of hydrogen bonds from in intervals (-0.08 to -0.1387 eV). Natural mountain and melt water with unique chemical composition and less deuterium content seems to be one of the most important factors for longevity. In Bulgaria, most long lived people and centenarians live in the Rhodope Mountains, while in Russia – in Dagestan and Yakutia. Similar characteristics possess mountain water from Teteven and other Bulgarian sources
