I'm from the karma is karma school of thought. You play the hand nature
dealt you. If you got good genes, you'll live a long time. Bad genes, a
short time. And all the attempts to manipulate the system through diet
and/or exercise is pretty much a fraud.
Heard one syndicated doctor on the radio recently saying that he believes
the only significant thing to increasing longevity is mental. Being happy
and getting rid of stress in your life. He said there were some studies
which suggested that the real benefit of exercise is that it takes your mind
off the stresses which make you nuts; the phyiscal part was a very minor
component.
