Isotopic Composition of Water in Research into Phenomenon of Longevity in Mountainous and Field Areas of Bulgaria

In this paper are submitted data on longevity factors and mountain water in factorial research of phenomenon of longevity in mountain and field areas of Bulgaria. The dependence was established among various internal and external factors on a phenomenon of longevity – residence area, health status, gender and heredity. It was shown that water is among the most important factors for longevity. Natural waters derived from various Bulgarian water springs were investigated by IR-spectroscopy, NES-, and DNES-method. It was shown, that the increased content of deuterium leads to physiological, morphological and cytology alterations of the cell, and also renders negative influence on cellular metabolism, while deuterium depleted water with decreased deuterium content on 20-30% has beneficial effects on health. By using IR-spectroscopy (NES and DENS-method) were investigated various samples of water with varying contents of deuterium, received from Bulgarian water springs and blood serum of cancer patients as well. As estimation factor was measured the values ​​of the average energy of hydrogen bonds (∆EH...O) among H2O molecules, as well as local maxima in the IR-spectra of various samples of water and human blood serum 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 maxima in IR-spectra are shifted to lower energies relative to the control group. The obtained results testify to necessity of consumption of clean natural water which quality satisfies mountain water from Bulgarian water springs.
