This is the idea. Those elders and some Boomers had a good FOUNDATION for health, because food drastically changed about 1972. If you were raised on GMO foods, MonsantoRoundup, fluoride, chlorine, 15 vaccines before age 10, meats and dairy from animals fed GMO and grain sprayed with Pufa oils... there can be no comparison.You always hear “I had a feeling/I knew something was up/I told them not to go” when people talk about life or death situations.
Sounds like having a sound mental state means better ability to embrace the intuition designed to keep you alive.
If your mind is always cluttered, you won’t be able to listen.

As an aside, the “ate everything” put in front of them crowd. Our food has DRASTICALLY changed in 50 years. My MIL/FIL died in their 50s. My dad at 64 and my mom is barely hanging on at 66. Only one of my immediate family members made it past 80. So I’m investing in food insurance and not health insurance.
