It's genetic!

@lioness My husband is of Italian heritage, and I think Mediterranean types do live longer! A woman in my water aerobics class is of Norwegian heritage and her family also all live very long lives. I have no idea, just some people apparently have stronger constitutions. There does seem to be a genetic component, but things change too. In my mother's family, no one made it to 70 but things were different then. People ate differently, and as they aged they were more sedentary.
I accompanied my husband to an oncologist for a check-up (he did have prostate cancer 15 years ago) and the doctor almost fell off his stool when he heard my husband's age and that he is on no medications.
