I strongly agree with you. I should stop eat fast food again, but for me the main point is not to live longer, but live healthy and happily. If we eat healthy food and living in fresh air area, so we will be health. Live longer is a plus from that. I have ever heard a news about 100yo woman that always drink milk everyday from her cow livestock in her village. She said the best way to keep health is get your fruits and vegetables from your own farm.

Living a healthy life in today's time is very tough and since we are used to eating the "unhealthy" food, we obtain a carefree nature that "When our time comes, we'll die. Why should we deprive myself of good food." Fruits, vegetables and milk is the best diet we can adopt but if you ask me to eat only boiled food stuffs or fruits everyday, I will not do it as I'm so used to my daily food that I can't give it up even for a healthy and long life. I've heard of women who exercise daily even when they cross 70-80 yrs. That's because they have been doing it all their life and can manage to walk without any support.

I remember one of those super old lady, they asked her what was her secret to live so long, and she said that she was eating 3 eggs per day

after that day i started eating 3 eggs a day as well, now i feel more fuller in the morning

It will work with some people, and will not work with someone else. In the Caucasus region of the former Soviet Union, there was a man called Shirali Muslimov (died in 1973), who claimed that he was 168 years old. Some Russian researchers also confirmed his claim, from the census records. He claimed that yoghurt was the secret for his longeivity. The Danone company made a lot of publicity about it, to sell their yoghurt products.

The matter of longevity in the Caucasus region has been investigated thoroughly. It turned out that people living there tend to add years to their real age, since the older they are, the more respect they get in the society. Regarding that elder who allegedly lived up to 168 years old, you should remember that the Caucasus region had been an arena of ferocious warfare through the whole 19th century (and well into the 20th), so I doubt that there can be reliable sources of census data that old...

May her soul RIP.

When I read the wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oldest_people) article, it wasn't surprising to see that there are more females who have been in the list compared to men. May it be heart attacks and being housewives, it's always women who win in this matter and after completing all the house work and looking after their childre, women don't get much tired compared to men who keep complaining about their office workloads. In India, women who live in villages have a very good immunity system as they don't eat the food which city people eat like oily food and spicy food.

Surely it's just a genetic lottery win? Humans certainly aren't designed to live that long and people with perfectly respectable lifestyles drop dead in their 50s and 60s every day.

I am not sure whether the secret for longevity lies in the genes or in the lifestyle. But you can't say that humans aren't designed to live that long. There are references from 400 or 500 year ago, about people living up to 100 year or more. As the living standards increase, along with the advancement in the medical science, longevity will increase further.

There are some physiological limits. Approximated limit of average lifespan is about 250 years. If we solve genetic issues then there still would be another limitation due to nature of our brain. To be exact, there is no possibility to remember more than 4000-5000 years of living experience. You won't die but you'll forget anything what happened before last 4000-5000 years of your hypothetically unlimited life. And there will be no way to recover these memories.

How many of you guys think you can make it till 70? Cheesy

I certainly don't think so, haha. Healthy living matters. Even the right diet matters. But a long life is nothing if you haven't done anything worthwhile, anything productive, anything that has changed lives for the better. I thrive on positive living and change.

My heart's genetically programmed to explode like a hand grenade between 55-60. In the meantime I maximise what's left by regularly staying up all night and doing whatever I feel like doing.

I don't get why anyone would fear death. It's a rapid solution to every conceivable problem. I am shitting myself at the prospect of it hurting though.

it seems more of a joke, my example can more resemble the true, eggs are the superior choice in terms of food, they have everything, vitamins minerals and the best proteing, they also contain some omege 3

there is no comparison with youghurt or any other food

Some parts of the Caucasus region are renowned for the longevity of its inhabitants. The case of Shirali Muslimov is not an isolated one. A few other cases (Mahmut Eyvazov, Sarhat Rashidova.etc) have been reported from that area. And as far as I know, the people there are not especially fond of eggs. However, they do consume a lot of milk products. Especially yoghurt, and Kefir (a fermented milk drink).

If I was still above ground at 115 I'm not sure I'd be too pleased unless I'd been thoroughly upgraded along the way.

yes it is, but it has also been scientifically proven that a healthy diet , prolongs your life

That is some age which people don't tend to come even closer nowadays due to the increasing pollution in a global scale, i am a bit curious what diet these people who live so long stick to.

I tend to disagree with that argument. The life expectancy is increasing every year, despite the pollution and climate change. And I have strong reasons to suspect that it will continue to tick upward, until a saturation point is reached. For sure, we are seeing a rise in cancer and other diseases due to the increasing pollution. But at the same time, the medical science is getting more and more advanced.

The amazing thing to me is to think about all the eras this woman lived through. I only wish she had written an autobiography to share all these interesting stories about what she lived through.

That would be great to read, a person who has seen the current generation and lived through many generations.

"People asked her, 'How do you feel about being the oldest person in the world?'" Holloway said of her mother. "She said, 'I still feel the same. That's God's work, not mine.' ... She enjoyed life as long as she was here."

Indeed it is a God's gift to that respected oldest woman. Whenever God wish to take back any soul, it takes on its own time and with his own wish. If she was spending her life with happiness among her kids, definitely it was blessed life and she had more time to understand every human character and it's purpose of creation. Really she experienced so many wonderful things in this world than any others.

Yeah because that people never eat something delicious like BigMac, French Fries, and coke lol. We need to change lifestyle and live in the village with fresh air to improve our life quality, but I don't see what's the point of we live that long if we can't take care ourselves anymore and just become a burden to our family.

I am not an expert, so I can't comment on the effect which processed food can have on longevity. That said, I don't know whether living in villages can shield you from pollution. With advancement in transportation and industry, there is no area within the earth which is not polluted. Even areas bereft of human inhabitation, such as Antarctica are polluted.

You are right, no place that not polluted, but atleast there are some place that have cleaner air than urban areas. I think it can make us be healthier and our age can be little longer.

It's been repeatedly proven to be possible, but that doesn't mean it's viable or intended. Mother nature has little use for a 115 yr old quietly farting in the corner of the cave.
