Does living healthy really prolong live?

[Ahtong]

I have heard anecdotal stories of people who never smoke, never drink, eat lots of veggies and fish but uplorry around 50 - 60. Then there are those incorrigble ones who drink like a lord and smoke like a chimney but can live till late 90s.

 

Comments please.

maybe a lot depends on fate? I always believe in, if one is meant to go, nothing can be done to stop..

Everything in life is about odds. Living healthy will improve odd of living longer, but no guaranteed. just like a football match!

sometime those 'healthy' food we normally eat may contain more toxic than we thought, things that we take excessively when we were young may also come back to haunt us at later age. in the olden day ah mah always say 'la sump jia, la sump toa'!

When your time is up means it's up. U watched Final Destination series?

my take on life: eat well, keep fit, die anyway.

as long as u are happy, do what you want, you won't know when you gonna die.

Like my GP says,"not everyone smoke will get cancer,but most pple who got cancer r smokers." if u eat healthy,quit smoking,less stress,it will not guarantee u live longer but it might increases ur lifespan .

Die early or young, I believe living healthy will at least leave you a smaller chance of dying painfully with chronic illness - genetic failures, accidents and unforseen circumstances aside.

who determines time is up?

This is subjective...

 

My mum ate healthily, never smoke and lived happily but she sccumbed to cancer and passed on within 2 years of diagnosis....

 

I used to have a gal friend whose uncle in his 80s, went thru major operations, fell down and injured quite jialat at his work sites and encountered a series of accidents....yet he did not die...until one fine day when he retired and came back home from his kopitiam tea break and he told his wife that he is taking a nap on the sofa...That was the last time he laid down on the sofa....He never woke up after that..Just gone peacefully like that....
