   I figured as much.  You said a lot more than you realize.

   And I could say,  "Me too".

It would take a complete life history to explain, so I understand your thinking and statement.

   Often I tell more of my life history than I really want to state.

   My mother lived to be 91.5  while my father died at age 57.

   And their life history explains much of the reasons for the age difference.

When you read of people that lived to be 90, 100, 110, or longer, of course it was their life style and life history that contributed largely to the years they lived.

  I feel a great deal of sympathy for the younger generations.
  ( this includes my children and grand children )

The older ones of us had many years of the good earth that the younger people will never have.
There is little we can do about it.

Two of my children, out of 3, try hard to be healthy. So far, my son is 41 and has no known health problems. He takes many supplements and eats like a horse. Like the head of the Farmington Heart study suggests.

One is a mainstream believer, and has many ailments.  How did I fail ?
Only two our of three ?

Here is an interesting article about all this, Note the lifestyle of the Eskimos !
At first glance the Eskimos' diet would seem to be a cardiologist's nightmare.

For example, some types of fish have long been considered harmful because of their "high" content of saturated fats and cholesterol; the new discoveries show that all types of fish are good for health. Fatty fish such as salmon and shellfish, which were considered equivalent to eggs and lard, are now freely recommended as are oysters, clams and scallops because fish of all types are rich in a type of fat which is good for the heart - omega-3 fat.
