Genes are our packed disc of
information fitted by God into us to perform according to that stored programme.
That’s why we cannot control someone height, skin colour and hair length etc.
Israeli researchers studied a population of Ashkenazi Jews who have lived to age
95 and older and found that their eating and lifestyle habits were no better
than those of general population.
These findings suggest that "nature" (longevity genes) may be more important
than "nurture" (lifestyle behaviours) when it comes to living an exceptionally
long life.
Data on comparison subjects came from 3,164 people who had been born around the
same time as the centenarians and were examined between 1971 and 1975 while
participating in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
Twenty-four percent of long-living men drank alcohol daily, compared to 22% of
the general population, while 43% of the older group exercised regularly
compared to 57% of regular men. Study was published in Journal of the American
Geriatrics Society.
Overall, there were no significant differences between the two groups in
lifestyle habits. They had similar average body mass index, had about the same
daily alcohol consumption, got about the same amount of regular exercise, and
approximately the same percentage of people followed a low-calorie diet. The
secret to a very long life may have nothing to do with what you eat, how much
exercise you get, or whether you smoke or drink. It may be because you got lucky
with your gene pool.
Hoping there must be genetic control of obesity and smartness, because after
much tougher dieting and routeing exercises mostly people regain easily when
they left few precautions. Although research is under process but luck is
massive factor that is totally in control of nature so we have been all
qualities’ before birth packed in our DNA, and perform according to it.
