He doesn't look 111.
I don't smoke or drink either.

Yeeeah...the absence of alcohol is not going to make you live to a 111. The only thing that'll do that is luck.

Yet another old woman said that drinking whiskey each morning made her live longer. Its all ****.

He could have just said "Taking a **** each day and no wipping my ass made me live to 111"

man 111 and still hasnt lived....

Though a lot of guys say they don't want to live a long time, just have their fun while they can be coherent, then take them out around 70 or 80. When you get to be about 90, it starts to get painful doing anything, period. On the flip side, I don't want to die before my time, either. I've known too many dudes that went young, so if I can hit the 100 year mark, I'll do it.

I was waiting for someone to say something like that.

No, it's usually because of the person's luck.

"I don't drink alcohol -- that is the biggest reason for my good health," Tomoji Tanabe told reporters on Monday. He also told media he does not smoke and likes a glass of milk a day.

Cool. Thats what I do too.

if you take care of yourself, eat a healthy diet, sleep your hours, do regular exercise, etc. you could get to be 99 and still be lucid, strong and not suffering from a thousand different distresses

machines that are take care of tend to have longer worklives

too true, nobody wants to live to 100, except the guy thats 99.

I'm sorry to disagree, but there's really no way out of it, we are what we eat, and just by taking a long hard look at the **** you put into your body will tell you pretty much how is your future health going to fare

that's why stay as far away from fast food as possible

 

[Abaddon]

doesn't look a day over 89

So bad food is the only thing that affects your life span? Have you ever heard of the science call "genetics"? How about concept of "genetic predisposition"? No? Look it up.

 

[blind_fury]

111 years of what?

I'll take 60 years of eating/drinking whatever I feel like over 111 years of personal repression and dietary restrictions.

 

[AhabTheArab]

cheers to that fury.

 

[SLVRSR4]

Right...and you don't think that it could have anything to do with the Japanese lifestyle and diet? It's got to be genetics!
