There's a recent report on nutrition, which fingers
olive oil as the Elixir of Immortality. Current wisdom
is that the Mediterranean diet is healthiest. Now,
researchers claim it boils down to a diet heavy in olive
oil, that's the real ticket - drink half a cup a day, live to 99.

But, can they really narrow it down to such a degree?
I'm skeptical that such a definite conclusion is possible.
Next year, they'll tell us it's the tomatos.

Questions such as this should certainly be of interest to this group -

Don't overestimate them. Lots of people here just wants to put fatty
or sugary stuff in their mouths, without any brain activity.

Would I want to live to 99? That's the question, it seems to me even
the best of them have a drop of quality of life after 90.

You keep focussing on 90, but there are lots of people who don't make
it to 70.

Look around you, if you know any 90+ year olds, and tell me the
quality of life does not suddenly deteriorate badly.

Exceptions exist, of course, but for most, it is poor health and
inability to get around much. I'd like to live to 120 but with decent
health both physical and mental. I'll take whatever I can get though.

Currently I know two 96 year olds. One manages to get out a bit but
the other is stuck in the house and as she says "Is this all there
is?" Same sentiments as my aunt had at that age. I am becoming more
and more convinced that unless you are a rarity, past 90, you may be
alive, your brain may be as good as ever, but the body lets you down
one way or the other.

I don't want to live to 100, at nearly 75 there's no one alive I knew
other than two in nursing homes who no longer remember me... everyone
I knew growing up is long gone. There are a couple of kids and grands
but we really have no meaningful history, they've moved on in their
own lives, which is healthy and as it should be. I can remember when
I was young having grand parents and great grand parents but we hardly
got to know each other more than superficially and then they were
gone. I feel very lucky to be sharing a life with a woman close to my
age. We both enjoy living here, with all our cats, gardening, and
tenderly caring for this piece of land and each other. We've been
very happily married 26 years and feel very lucky to have found each
other. Who'd a thunk a Brooklyn boy and a Belizean woman would mesh
so well. I really don't want to outlive my wife.

I was lucky, I grew up with extended family living with us, grandma, uncle,
and six brothers and sisters. We have been very close our whole lives, but
now there are only four of us left, two brothers and one sister all dying
within the past five years. It has been really hard, but I can't even
imagine outliving my dh. Luckily his family is very long lived.

I have an aunt who is 96 and sharp as a tack but while she can still get
around she has to rely on a walker and sometimes a wheel chair. Just a
few years ago she was still going out weekly to get her hair done and
cooked dinner every Sunday for the children and grandchildren who live
nearby. She doesn't do those things anymore. She acknowledges her body
is frail and failing.

No amount of olive oil in the world would have changed that. The human
body simply isn't designed to last for a specified amount of time.
Every person is different. Perhaps there is a Atropos somewhere in the
universe with a pair of scizzors deciding when each person's life thread
should be snipped. <shrug>

Where I live in Scotland has an outdoors lifestyle and it's not
uncommon for people to be active and independent well into their 90's
(my neighbour was still doing all her own gardening,and teaching country
dancing, at 92).

This week on UK TV there was a program called 100 yr old driving school
in which drivers from 90 to over 100 volunteered to be tested to see if
they were still safe on the road. Most were in good shape and still
perfectly capable, and all wanted to keep driving because they have very
active lives.

The eldest, and also the best driver, was a fit lady aged 105 who does a
lot of yoga.

http://www.edp24.co.uk/going-out/nor...-100-year-old-
driving-school-1-5201734

"After venturing out in her beloved mini, the ?spritely? 105-year-old
was told she had passed, with the assessor stating she was a ?privilege?
to drive with and he was happy for her to continue driving."
