It may be that longevity is in at least the female side of your genes.

What makes you think diet had anything to do with it?

For years the longest lived person in my family was my great aunt, who ate simply, was raised on the "tops" of the Hiraethog mountains alongside the Conway Valley, North Wales, UK and lived to about 94. If she was ill, she would go to bed and stay there until she was better. My mother, also born and raised up there, has now beaten her and is getting on for 98. In the 1930s my mother became a health nut, read "Health for All", a natural health journal, eschewed sugar, sausages, white flour, preservatives etc. etc. - all the things which marked her as eccentric in those days but are pretty much taken for granted nowadays in communities such as ours. She didn't have me vaccinated despite pressure and threats of being "reported", wouldn't take or give "M&B's", antibiotics, aspirin, etc., opposed artificial fertilisers and stock feed. I wish we had known about or had access to things like homeopathy, energy medicine, CS, etc. but there you go. We did what we could with vitamins and minerals, vegetable juices, etc. as and when we could. The creaking gate seems to have hung on longer than the orthodox neighbours.
