The Germans in my family tree also enjoyed great longevity.
Home made sauerkraut is loaded with Vitamin C and nutrients; it got them through the winter in a healthy state.......
The home made beer which they brewed was also loaded with B vitamins, etc........and the alchohol content kept their blood flowing.........just as the Italian wine for the Italians...........they didn't need the pharmaceuticals in those days or the Centrum Silver.......
My favorite German dish is sauerbraten...........our son in law makes a good one.........which I also did when all the kids were at home....marinating it for days.........adding the gingersnaps to the gravy at the end..........German foods are delish.
