These days on average men can expect to live up until there 70’s, while women can expect a life expectancy into there 80’s however, with ongoing development in medicine and public health kids on average today may live even longer.

But what about today, well you may do well to consider your diet. Did you know the oldest person on record was a vegetarian lady, she was borne in 1875 and died in 1997, making her a staggering 122 years old. There were others, who allegedly reported that they were older but couldn’t back up their statement with any real evidence. Current research may also suggest that Vegetarians live longer., visit hospital less and spend less time there compared to meat eaters.

Exercise may also help seniors life longer, a regular cardiovascular workout will not only keep you fit but will also help promote self esteem and wellbeing.
