Here is one of the lakes at Joffre Lakes Park in British Columbia (a fantastic hike!)

That’s because KARENS are as*h***s.
She sounded cool.
Lol.
Notice the ‘glacial’ water is sitting in a wine glass. Guess that means we’re missing something.
Living to 100 is great if they are active but for someone who is bedridden for the last 5-10 years, not so great.
People who live, grow up, and work their farms all their life stay active as well. Some may even play sports or go to the gym. I personally just ride a bicycle and walk my dogs to try and “not let the old man in”.
The people who work in offices and sit most the day are at the most risk of a shortened lifespan. It’s an easy rut to fall into.
Interesting article.
I do like apricots, always have on hand. :-) And I never eat pre-prepared aka as “fake” food. Not in decades. But my health is not like these people! Lack of stress must also play a factor, as well as the clean air/water/food. And friendliness towards each other, and no anti-social/chaos insanity. I hope their way of life does not get invaded by rot.
Getting sauced, in moderation, is fine.(for some)
The “secret” seems to be move, live low stress, eat plants and animals, have family and friends nearby, and I would add sleep enough.

And neither does colloid silver. I’ve used colloid silver for years and I’m still as white as the day I was born.
Just saw a picture of Jimmy Carter at age 99.
I do no want to live to be in that condition.
all these articles on small populations that live a long life have one thing in common: They ignore that a lot of children die of malnutrition/infectious disease/Tuberculosis... not to mention deaths from childbirth, war, and accidents.
The low protein, low fat diet leads to a long life, but only if you survive these other threats to life.
A higher altitude seems to be a factor.
The Blue Zones are an amazing study, peoples that live to 100s regularly. Healthy diet, keep moving (mostly up and down hills and always walking) and community support are main factors.
I bet the elevation and lower oxygen levels have something to do with it as well..........................
All the Blue Zones are tight knit communities and keep their family members at home as they age. But most of us don’t live in tight knit communities and family doesn’t live nearby. It’s overwhelming to care for parents with chronic health problems. It often falls to one child, and it’s impossible for one person to handle nurse, med tech, food, laundry, home maintenance, transportation, medical appointments, medicine, and financial duties without completely giving up their own life. My dad has dementia and my mom can no longer handle taking care of him. She also has physical and congnitive decline, so all of the above fall on me for both of them. Sometimes there is no choice but assisted living whether they want to move or not.
My mom who lived to 102 — died only after breaking her hip — was very much like that and your description could have been about her just as well.

Good for her! Sounds like a sweet but also strong lady.
