The entire doctor would turn over in their graves if they went with me to a birthday party being held today. Rufo Ernandez a next door neighbour turned 104 still active and sharp smoking a cigar and is not on any meds. I have talked to him many times because I think he must be doing something right he doesn’t like the typical Dominican food with is rice and beans but he does like his chicharron which is pig fat fried until it starts to bubble up. In the US it is called pork rind he only eats vegetables and meat his grandson is a butcher. He does not eat bread or any processed foods. If you want to live a long life do what the people who are very old and do the same thing.
My own concerns are mixed with longevity vs. living long with severe mental or physical impairment, as my Dad developed. An otherwise still-living vegetable, I could not accept as an existence. Frank
