I happen to get great enjoyment from avoiding junk-food and eating healthy foods.



How do you know it's not the other way around? Where are the scientific studies to show that poor diets make people live longer and healthier? Poor diets subtract years from your life. Read the obituary and you will see there's no shortage of people dying in their 60s and early 70s.




People who live healthy lifestyles generally don't end up in nursing homes. They tend to stay independent. And if you stay healthy, you will live a long life. On the other hand, people who live unhealthy lifestyles sometimes live into their 80s but the last 10 to 15 years are usually of very poor quality.

I'll soon be 73 and I'm still in good (drug free) health. The way I feel (young) I think I can keep going another 27 years in good health.

People can only hope their assumptions about their "healthy" lifestyles are true. There is really no proof. Genetics plays a huge part in how long people live no matter what their lifestyle.
