Well I think there are exceptions to every rule and that is one of them. It could also be a genetic thing as well too as there are people who live their entire lives eating healthy and died young.

Living long healing well resistence and hardiness is all about genetics..

Of course one can do things to improve one's health and well being and one can also do things that can be detrimental to one's health and well being, but it doesnt automatically mean living long or not..

A big belly short breath man with a history of smoking drinking and eating anything may live into his 90s while a healthy brisk man dieting and working out for his entire adult life may die in his 60s or before..

Genetics is the number one factor.

RIP Granny..
