Do you think someone being for example obese or a smoker has the same mortality rate? |
I think that he meant that death is inevitable for all of us.
I think a healthy diet can extend our lives, maybe not as much as frequent sustained activity that raises the heart rate, but somewhat. But no one can make me believe that giving up meat and milk in moderation will make anyone live longer. Smaller portions of protein and bigger percentages of fruit and vegetables with less fat to ME is a healthy diet.
And enjoying the company of others and laughing a lot doesn't hurt either
But picking ancestors who are free of nasty genetic links is even more important in living a long healthy life.
Some of our trump cards have already been played at the age that most of us are. It goes without saying that smoking and drinking heavily aren't really good for you, but my dad lived to be ninety and drank a goodly amount.
