If exercise and eating your vegetables made you live longer than almost all 100+ people would be body building vegetarians, and yet there are none. We are being lied to.
Look at the change in Diet, we went from enjoying Animal fat, Meat, Cheese to having those foods demonized in favor of whole grain low fat with all those corn abominations.
Look at us during the stone age, we basically ate root veggies,leaves, fruits, Meat and Nuts.
Well, I guess exercise is fairly recent when we think of going to a gym or jogging or lifting weights or running etc. However, my mother had a three story home that she maintained with the help of all of us of course. So, we climed a LOT of stairs all day long.
We walked back and forth to school, was a cheerleader, had gym classes and danced away the weekend after walking to the dance location dancing all night and walking back home. :)
We pretty much ate our three meals a day with maybe a snack or so inbetween but that was usually fruit or a pretzel or chips.
We drank milk, ate vegetables and a meal that stayed with you. We had to because we were so active. We had to help with everything in the house which meant hanging clothes on the line, takeing them down and then bringing them in the house which meant going up the stairs.
We sat on the floor and cleaned baseboards. We stood and ironed clothes. We stood and washed dishes and dried them too. We SWEPT the kitchen floor after dinner.
So, I know my mother got a LOT of exercise and so did we helping her. I also know she LIFTED ... not weights but kids. She walked downtown to the store to shop as there was no car. She walked back home after she was through. She got plenty of sunshine without a Vitamin D supplement as she was outside as much as possibble.
So, women DID get exercise and plenty of it. They just lifted babies instead of weights, went up and down to the second and third floors instead of using a Stair Master. They walked everywhere they went instead of using a treadmill and they stretched hanging clothes on lines etc instead of doing stretching exercises. I’d say they did pretty darn good...wouldn’t you??? :) :) :)
