There's never any guarantees in life, that's for sure. However, we do know that the cultures that live on a healthy diet, you know, the, the plant-based diet overall, with a little meat, you know, whether it be fish or, you know, wild game meat, maybe some domesticated meat with no hormones or antibiotics used of course, those cultures are known to live up to a hundred and twenty and beyond. The Hunzas, The Peruvian Indians, the Okinawans. I had the actual fabulous experience in my youth of being a wanderer who wanted to experience all these different cultures and I lived with thirteen cultures, several of which lived old years. They all have one thinng in common, though. They all took time out for community, they all exercised regularly in one form or another--of course their life involved exercise for everything that they did--they all ate a lot of plant foods, especially vegetables, including wild vegetables. They all ate wild herbs and other wild plants. They ate very little meat, and they drank a lot of water. They didn't have a lot of other things to drink. They didn't have sodas, they didn't eat fast food or any of that. So yes, I believe very definitely that if you live on a healthy diet; you can live a very long life.
