I am 88 and have never watched my diet....always ate whatever I wanted....never a weight problem either. Good genes,I guess.
.
Lucky you...plus I think older people ate “cleaner”...AND got real exercise regularly.
Got me by 7 and I don’t do Doctors etc...
Remember WE were ‘expected’ to eat a pound of dirt, ran around barefoot, rode in rumble seats and back of pickups, sat in front seat, dogs weren’t ‘picked up’ after etc etc etc.
I am also on a ‘See Food’ diet...see food, eat food...
All my aunt’s on fathers side lived into their mid 90s and ALL worked most of their lives as RNs...
(With mother & father and 1 of his brothers also RNs probably one of the reasons I ‘don’t do doctors’)<:<: <:
Old chestnut about Dr telling man to cut back on his eggs and pork only to have the 60 year old tell him his grandfather ate 6 eggs and half a pound of bacon for breakfast EVERY day and lived to be 98.
Dr replied
“Maybe so BUT that was before we knew about cholesterol”
