[quote=scaredyclassic]I was talking to a guy whose grandpa I knew the other day. Smoked and drank everyvday. How much booze. A pint of hard liquor a day. Plus beer all day long. Right up to the bitter end. Died at 87
It is my opinion that survival is 80 percent attitude. If you insist on living, you live. Weak people like me get culled out. People like my wife live to be 100.[/quote]
That’s the thing. Some of our dearest friends and family members made it to their late 80s or early/mid 90s…smoking, drinking, eating tasty foods, and not exercising all the way. One of them, who is now dealing with severe dementia, is 93, with no signs of his body giving up anytime soon. OTOH, of the people we know who are/were extreme in their “healthy living” habits, over half of them died by their late 50s.
