I plan to watchi this later this weekend.
Over the last 5-10 years I have been trying to understand our modern food and came to the above conclusion long ago.
Just had to dodge diseases, and injuries.
My grandfather lived into his nineties and his younger sister died at 105. Healthy until the end. However his first wife died of cancer as did all her sisters; and his second wife developed alzheimers. If the difference is the genes, could it be that a highly nutritious diet could have evened the playing field? And we all have a near equal chance for a healthy long life? |
