I dont claim to know anything about these life extending genes Ive heard some Asians supposedly have. I dont know a great many that retired “cushy”.
I do know that my (non-Asian) family members that continued to work, like my grandmother that worked full time length weeks into her 90s, lived a lot longer than those who retired to watch TV.
I m not sure if it’d genes or lifestyle. A lot of Asians who were long-lived in their own country revert to U.S. health when the move to the U.S.
My mom is almost 101 years old. She must have work to do or she gets very antsy and frustrated. I bought a scanner and give her piles of paper to scan every day. It’s the same pile, but she doesn’t know that and it gives her a great feeling of fulfillment and satisfaction that she is being productive. As she says, we don’t age, only our bodies do. She is now asking me for other tasks and I’m not sure what to give her.
