[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My grandmother lived on her own until age 89 when she very reapidly died of mouth cancer.  She walked everywhere, I think this is what made her quality of life so good, not her diet.  She smoked a few cigarettes a day (hence the mouth cancer, but who cares? She lived to 89). She ate a very bland, very american diet.  A very small amount of eggs/bacon/or toast in the morning, usually cold cuts or soup for lunch and dinner was ALWAYS a meat, potato and vegetable. A normal dinner would be beef pot roast, boiled potatoes, and steamed broccoli. In the evening she sould sit in her chair, watch TV, smoke, and drink a glass of scotch.

She did EVERYTHING on foot though and lived in Massachusettes, so winters were very cold. SHe walked to get her groceries, walked to her doctors, and walked to get whatever supplies she needed.  She even got hit by a car once and broke her hip and recovered from that to keep walking some more. Probably logged 10-15k steps a day.

Oh and she also mowed her own lawn which is banannas.[/quote]

My grandmother was very similar in habit and food/drink diet. She lived in Chicago and walked nonstop. She was a pantyhose leg model when younger and never stopped being proud of her shapely leg muscles, which she maintained by walking miles and miles through daily activity :)[/quote]
