I am setting a goal for myself to live to be 88 yrs old as I do not want my children to be burdened with changing my diapers:facepalm:
My father lived to be 82 and drank a pint of whiskey and smoked Pall Mall cigarettes. He did. however, eat Meats and raw vegetables along with mixing two raw eggs in his tomato juice each morning. His occupation was brick mason until the age of 68.
With all that said, I believe genetics has Everything to do with how long we live as long as your not too obsessive in diet or drinking.
At 52, I work out 4 times a week, weight lifting and cardio and no smoking for me. I drink nightly......sorry, my Irish heritage is part of my culture. I just had my executive physical and they found nothing wrong head to toe. I take no medications, only a multi vitamin and that is it.
I eat Red meat, once a week, usually filet mignon. and fish 5 times a week, and pizza or pasta one night a week. I am going to live my life as I have and not worry about the no meats, or living like a fricking rabbit. I grill a Massive Hamburger on occasion and find that as my treat. Screw eating wheat germ and living in a bubble, I am going to live my life however long that It is....:toast:
