Jimmy just died he was 101. he was an avid hunter and fisherman. He too smoked drink ate what he caught was a meat eater and also a pasta lover.



Should one use these examples as what to do to extend longevity?



DNA rules.



I also believe that as we age the process itself alters are eating habits. I eat more smaller meals now. I found that my meat intake dropped not because of some intentional plan but because my body seemed content with less.



I am careful to maintain proper nutrition because as we age we need to keep up our strength. Nature via (cravings) seem to help just be sure if you have a taste for something you don't cheat yourself. If you have a taste for cheese ea cheese and not cheese flavored chips.

DNA absolutely rules. This post is well stated.
