RE: My 98 Year Old Grandfather Showing Off Some of His Garden Harvest.
Good questions. You know more about their living situations, diet, job histories air quality, happiness..
What do you think accounts for their longevity?
More important, do you think you inherited their genes?
I am not sure about inheriting their genes because their 3 sons all started getting sick at early ages. One has already passed from liver Cancer at age 72. He was an airplane Mechanic and that seems a common ailment with Mechanics from inhaling all the fumes constantly. My other Uncles has had numerous heart attacks starting in his early 70s and my Dad started having illnesses in his 60's. His wife, my Grandma, all of her brothers had heart disease and died of Heart attacks but late in their lives. One died in his 30's of a heart attack. Happiness for my Dads Dad for sure, he was always calm and happy. My other grandpa on my moms side was always Happy but he lost all his fortune and went through some really harsh times. If I could pin it to one common factor. But they both worked really hard in the fields on their land or for fun gardening until they died.
