My dad's great grandmother died in 1977 at age 104. Her daughter, my great grandmother, died at age 96. My grandma is 82, still going strong, and never had any major health issues until last year when she had some sort of autoimmune problems that have been put into remission. My dad is 55 and is healthier than probably most people...so yeah..my dad's side of the family is healthier than I am.
My mom's side of the family are all alcoholic, chain smoking, down home eating Southerners and most of them didn't (or won't) see their 70th birthday. I'm way healthier than all of them.
I'm not horribly unhealthy; I have definitely been eating better lately than I have in the past few years, I walk A LOT but don't get too much other exercise, don't smoke or do drugs, and only rarely drink, and I'm not overweight according to my BMI, but I could definitely be healthier. My one bad vice would probably be my diet pepsi...which will probably give me cancer if breathing Salt Lake's disgusting air doesn't.
