October 17, 2025Oct 17 Not my title. Lifted it from National Geographic of January 1973. That issue investigates how people have, and do still, live to well over 100. In some cases to over 130. and one chap;150. So what were/are they doing, that we are not? The common theme in longevity is being attuned to nature. Plenty of regular exercise. Eat seasonal food. Community living. What are these people missing out on? Processed foods. Manufactured drugs. Chemical fertilizers used on their crops. One lady was a tad overweight (by our standards). Smoked. Drank alcohol. And was over 130.

October 18, 2025Oct 18 Author Some of these 120 year olds are still sexually active. The people investigated were in Pakistan, Ecuador and Russia (then the USSR). The guy below, picking leaves, is 98,and his father lived to be 125. Fascinating effort by National Geographic. The study was 50 years ago. Well worth the WHO paying a visit. Or, perhaps not. They would take their vaxxes with them.

Please PM me. The people featured in NG all worked until very late; mostly in the field. Being at one with nature seems to be the common thread.

Or visit the Inuits and native Americas......oh no don't ...................we nearly wiped them out with our infectious diseases, to which they had little or no resistance.....or did they all, by pure chance, just happen to start breathing in polluted air at the same time???? Wow! What a freaky coincidence.

Just made up nonsense to hide away the murders.

Have to think you are superior to wipe out millions. Those Europeans are still at it. The point of the OP is that people do live long lives. As I say well over 120 years. Obviously their life-style is different to what we have in the west, but the common theme is that the people all work with nature; not against it.
October 18, 2025Oct 18 One of my forefathers lived to be 175 years! Or maybe not. Perhaps this thread needs some facts instead of unverified stories: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_verified_oldest_people
October 18, 2025Oct 18 Well as far I did know, very few people becomes older than 110 in the history we know and can prove, and the oldest who lived was 122 years old after a quick search https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_verified_oldest_people Im missing something essential here, or?
October 18, 2025Oct 18 AI-oversikt Becoming 110 years old is extremely rare, with only about one in 1,000 people who reach 100 living to see their 110th birthday. This age group, called supercentenarians,is the subject of ongoing study, and current data suggests that becoming 110 remains unlikely for most people despite advances in healthcare https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercentenarian#:~:text=A supercentenarian%2C sometimes hyphenated as,maximum human lifespan is reached.

October 18, 2025Oct 18 Plain and simple, some can do many things wrong all their lives and live to over 100, while others can do most everything right and pass at 50. That's plain luck. Genetics plays a role, but what you eat, and how much you move is how most live to be 100 or more. The Blue Zone people all share the same things as far as diet and moving, along with keeping stress as low as possible. Not much meat, more fish than meat, grains and root and mixed veggies, fruits, nuts and seeds, a little red wine, no smoking. Nothing to do with vitamins or minerals, as you'll get all you need with that lifestyle.

Got 3 brothers & 3 friends left back in USA Good you are still with us bro. I'm a fair few years older than your good self. Not taken any medicine what-so-ever since late 2019. Eat sensibly. Do some work every day. Have a daily yoga routine. Drink lots of water, and at least half a litre with some limes in it each day. My advice to you Sir. Every day, kick off yer shoes, take off yer shirt and go for along walk in the sun. And if you have a forest near by, make use of it.

October 18, 2025Oct 18 Author ''The phrase "Every day over 100 is a bonus" likely refers to the longevity research highlighted by National Geographic, which focuses on "blue zones," areas where people live to be 100 at extraordinary rates. It connects to the idea that reaching 100 years is an achievement, and every additional day is a "bonus" to be celebrated. Key factors for long life in these zones, as featured in articles by National Geographic, include a 90–100% plant-based diet, moderate wine consumption, regular physical activity, and a strong social or spiritual connection.''

Indeed! Evidence, not proof. After reviewing the evidence, I'll decide what I regard as truth. In the particular issue, it says that some of the 120+ people are sexually active. Lot to be said for taking herbs with yer grub.
