With Humans living longer do you think its reached it peak ?

[mrknowall]

What im saying can you see your self reaching 90+ I speak to the old guys in the pub the things the all ate dripping butteys all the fat on the meat, Bacon rine And the work they did no H/S like today. If we did that we would of been dead by now. And would you want to live until that age? I know we are living longer but i cant see us going much beyond 122(which was the oldest). Can you? (It must be the mild)

I have children.....

So therefore would like to live forever..but I do get visions of myself sitting on a pack bench when the boys leave home lol

Would that be a Flatpack one from Ikea?

Yes not so much of the healthy foods as we have today.But in them days people worked hard didn't sit on computers as they weren't there then,didn't sit watching tv most of the day went for long walks played games made there own entertainment.Please don't backfire on what I have just said as there is a lot of hard working families.

Wendilla, do you mean there is less or more stress today so people are living longer? With the help of computers etc.

But the old men you speak to in the pub who actually did that are not dead by now so why would we be dead by now if we did it?

But no, I don't think I'd want to live for an exceedingly long time, my body would still decay. It makes me think of the struldbrugs from 'Gullivers Travels' who live forever but hate it.

To BOUNCE AGAIN no what I mean is years ago people always had to work no work no money and families were big .So didn't have time to sit around and be lazy.Now a days some people don't bother if they work therefore sitting about all the time no outside activities no walking therefore shorting there lives by not being healthy.There is definately more stress today that is why most people try to get as much exercise and not sit around all day.

This time next year we'll all be living longer.
