but even atheletes like gymnasts and swimmers dont seem to live any longer either.
i’m only pointing this out, because some people spend a LARGE part of their lives working out... if they don’t live any longer than average... are not they actually living shorter lives (after you subtract all the time they spent working out?)
I understand, and agree with that.
Genetics seems, to me, to be the main driver of longevity.
I know people who lived to their late 90’s that drank, smoked, and ate whatever.
I know athletes that died young from cancer.
I just try to make what I believe to be the best decisions, combined with living how I desire.
I love working out and playing sports.
I eat paleo, lift 3 times a week, play volleyball, meditate daily, try to laugh often, and go for walks whenever the weather is accommodating.
Detach from the outcome and enjoy the process/journey...
