Is it a gene that determines our longevity? ...(story here). Some studies seem to suggest that a gene is responsible for how long we live. That would make sense at the time we're born, but given the amount of environmental influences - our water, our diet, and our air - it's hard to believe that the gene will have much bearing on how long we live. With a good diet and a healthy lifestyle along with having a particular gene present, the chances are definitely better of becoming a Centenarian. But figure the chances of dying from a gamut of accident-related causes, and the odds just went down a notch.
Why not forget about worrying what you can't control and do something about what you can control?... your diet, your health choices, the decision to exercise vs. watching tv. Even meditating or praying would be better for your health than most of the products offered.
While scientists are busy discovering the gene that controls longevity, we can be busy making sure the DNA we have now isn't damaged by eating fruits and vegetables and other antioxidant-rich foods... along with plenty of water.
Seize the diet today. Live healthy!
Carpe Diet!
