It reinforces my belief that our current understanding of longevity can’t really advance by studying these cultures and doing what they do.
It’s further evidence that most of the people who have made it past 100 have done it from serious luck and genetics. Not through any deliberate habits. I tried to think of an example of an intentionally healthy person that lasted to 100, and Jack Lalanne was the closest I could think of. He died at 96 of a freak pneumonia where he didn’t go to the doctor.
