Long Walk To Long Life

We all dream of living up to old age. What is old age?
As a child, I thought 50 was old. Now I am above 50 and think that life begins at 60.
Reading the Bible, I discovered 70 but the Bible gave room to exceed 70; Psalm 90:10-12.
So what are those things one will do to exceed the divine set time or rather, what are the things one will do and shorten the 70 years benchmark?
The first thing that determines long life, is the gene you inherited from your grand parents. If long life runs in your ancestry, there is a higher chance that you will live long.But this chance, can be greatly reduced, if you do not live like your ancestors lived.
The second is lifestyle. Your ancestors who lived up to 98 in good health, had a healthy agrarian lifestyle. They ate fresh off the farm; walked long distances to the farm, drank from the stream and had minimal contact with chemically processed food or preservatives. They stayed away from canned food. In this era of exodus to township and Japa, introducing toxins into your gene, I doubt if you will live as long as your parents did.
The daily choices you make, will reduce your chances of walking into old age. In this technological age, an era that ought to make life easier, we are stressed in a bid to keep up with the rapidly evolving trends. These stresses us out and cut short our lifespan.
Despite all these, your future is not bleak. You can walk backwards to reset your aging clock by;
First,  run batteries of medical tests, to ascertain how bad your choices had eaten into your 70 years. Once you are done, it will help you, to know what to avoid, cut down and be strong. Early detection is the key. Change your circle of friends. Find those who are willing to live their age-Obi will not remain a boy forever. Key into the bitter slower side of life. You cannot compete favourably with a 28 year old boy, for the medal to sexual satisfy a 32-46 year old woman. Avoid aphrodisiac, avoid friends who encourage you to take pills. You had played the field, time has come to retire. Cutdown on your excesses, whatever they be. Be it smoke, solid or liquid. Remember, the pains, sufferings your organs will exhibit at old age, are due to the abuse you subjected them to, when you were younger.
