I am 94. I enjoy life because of the internet. I keep socially in contact with all my family and friends. I keep up with all that is happening nationally and internationally, and delve into different subjects every day. My opinions are shaped by having remembered events and people over a long period of time. I am grateful to my God for having the chance to experience all that I have. Good and bad. I sincerely believe this earthly experience is another great episode in our journey into the eternities. When I consider the six and one half billion of us on earth today, I am reminded that there are countless molecules that make up matter. I don't know how much longer I will live, but I do know I am a happy camper.
@@arlenesecrist354 I am now 95. Do you think, when it is your time to pass through the veil into our next phase of life that you will be happy to play duplicate bridge into the eternities? Just curious.

I knew it was BS, we hen I saw, "You WILL GET Alzheimer's if you live to 90." Then, sure enough! "40% of doctors are wrong about it being Alzheimer's." Ha! I bet it's even more than 40% that are WRONG. I heard dehydration can be a culprit of losing one's memory. Drink your water! Protect Our Water! In addition, I don't like the drinking of alcohol, OR caffeine. Both are poison and alcohol dumbs one down.👎👎 P.S. I think the rich drink so much, so they can "live with themselves," for NOT HELPING OTHERS!
My Granny is 90 years old, still gardens, drives and moves furniture. She told me the secrets are "Make yourself happy," "Don't let a husband drive you to the grave," and "Don't lay in the bed all day. Get up and do something." Love her!
@JIM JONES I take it you don't have a grandma or know anyone who's old. I have known plenty of people who lived into there 90s. Has anyone you known has died? I recently counted all the people I know who died and I could remember about 400 people and most of them was old age a few where illness and accidental death and a small few where young people stupidity. And I am only 30 years old living out side a town of 4,000.
@Tony Dinh Not really, it's all about if she has mental clarity , can see and if she is heathy enough to drive. I once knew a girl in her 20s who said she would rather get into an accident then get lost. I told her she could just pull into a parking lot and turn around and retake a turn if needed not brake the law with a dangerous illegal turn. Well the fool totaled her car. She was young with great heath eye sight but had bad sense.
@Tony Dinh Been driven around by the over 80s and been safe. It's the person not the age. Yes there are people who needs to stop driving when they get a certain age. Sometimes it's not even that old they are in there 40s and shouldn't be behind the wheel.
My Tante is 97 years old and the other one is 87. Both never smoked, weren't around second hand smoke and stayed active:) I plan on living to my 90 's also! My Opi lived to be 84 Oma 89- .
My grandpap is 106, still living at home by himself, my aunts and/or a nurse goes in to check on him daily. Still doing fine, can't hear much, and had his ticker replaced about 10 years ago. I never hear him complain about much. He just really appreciates simple things, reads the newspaper, likes the food he eats, coffee with milk and lots of water.
They gave a 96 year old man a heart transplant? No way. That is not accurate. If by "ticker" you mean his heart, you are mistaken. They do not give heart transplant to people in their late 90's.
@@YankeeValleyOutdoors unfortunately he passed away in late July, but made it to his 107th birthday. Not a vet, but got called in for WW2. He had already lost an eye at work years previous, so he traveled all the way to the base, they fed him and many others a nice dinner that day, but he was sent back home.
My father just passed at 98. He was strong & sharp right up to the end. He played golf up until he was 95 and shot below his age. I was lucky to have him as long as I did. Love you, Dad.
My Mom just turned 90 this March. Her mental acuity is remarkable. Dad who died in 2015 had dementia and it was a long, slow and sad decline. Mom has physical health issues, but her ability to engage mentally is fantastic. Sign me up!
I turned 90 in April, always ate anything I wanted, never dieted, drink moderately, lifts heavy things, still drives with good driving skills and keep very active, in an organization I started, but slowing down a bit. Was active in Politics after my husband passed away and accomplished a lot of things in my community as the first woman mayor and councilperson. I feel that keeping very active is partly why I reached 90. No one believes that I am 90 years old.
If you don’t mind me asking, how did you feel about aging older? As I get older, I am overwhelmed with the suspense of the fact that I am aging and there is nothing I can do about it.
@@ramenlover1727 my Aunts are in their late 70s and early 80s and they tell me how to set up my phone and computer apps. Your body is only as old as you feel. If you are not active you will deteriorate.
That's awesome! My grandmother was 98 when she passed. I used to go and sit with her and we would do the word scramble that they published in the paper. Her eyesight was a little bad and I would read the letters to her and she would unscramble the words in her head as I scribbled them down on paper and played with them. There were six words each day and we would usually split about 3 a piece for who got them first. She really amazed me..
24:25 ''Well I will!'' I ♥ Lesley Stahl. My grandma was 99. Twenty years ago she rappelled down a well behind her home to retrieve one of her baby goats that had fallen in. She was AMAZING. Like Brett Kavanaugh, she liked beer. For decades she had one almost every day.
Terrific story! I am almost 79, live by myself, work-out with a twenty pound kettle bell, walk miles every week, take lots of courses, practically go broke buying books, and am aiming for expertise in the history of the Roman Empire. I am also learning Brazilian Portuguese as my daughter-in-law is from Brazil. I also skate and plan to learn to cross country ski as downhill now makes me worry. As it should. I have always been a terrible skier! For some reason, I look forward to birthdays because I see possibilities in each coming year.
Oh I am from Brazil. Love your comments.. I am 65 Years old. .love when you said I look foward to birthdays because see possibilities in each coming Year! Yes. Great words Obrigada. Obrigada means thanks . Bye .
My Grandmommy passed at 90. She said the hardest part about getting old is that you watch all of your friends and family that were young with you pass away.
My uncle just died a couple weeks ago at 99 years old, he was a ww 2 vet and a great guy, he gave tons of money to the homeless organizations in his area to help feed them, the WW 2 generation was truly a "great generation"
They lived off of the blood,sweat,and tears of the single people after coming home from the war.Congress jacked up taxes on single people to let marrieds deduct mortgage interest.They deemed that all singles lived in Ma Bailey's Boardinghouse.Because of them,I'm still renting at 72 because my father was always getting beat for jobs by GI's and could never afford to buy a house.It's a long story.
I have a gig where I sing with a cabaret pianist who is 93 years old. Although she has a hard time getting around (she uses a walker and a wheelchair) her mind is as sharp as a tack. She can play for 4 hours from memory and never repeat the same song...and correct my words if I flub up. I think its the music that keeps her sharp and she had been able to do what she loves for nearly 71 years.
A separate study (not mentioned in this video) showed that Alzheimer's patients respond positively to the music of their youth and not only physically but verbally and they exhibit happiness. This is now a common practice in memory care facilities and nursing homes.
@@01happykat Bless you and Apple Go for your work. Elderly people are so often overlooked or forgotten and I think it's wonderful to hear nurses express this kind of appreciation. Thank you for being there for them.
SAME! I chose geriatrics as my speciality.. I never had any grandparents & I've always felt that I missed out on SO mutch. I love working with the elderly. And I take pride in making a good job. I currently work at a long term nursing home & it's so rewarding, when you get to know them & you get that deeper connection. I have recently been sick, away frol work for 1 month. And when I came back, to see my clients faces lit up, and you know that they are truly happy to see you! They have lived long enough to know, not to take all this to seriously!
I'm watching this amazing 60 minutes documentary from Kenya in East Africa. My paternal grandpa lived to 102 years, his brother, kuka Johnson Anyoba died at 103 years ..on my mother's side, my maternal grandma lived to 95 years.. My dad is 93 this year. Mom is 83. I am so blessed!
I believe many more Africans live longer similar to Japanese and Mediterranean Europeans but often their ages can’t be verifiable due to recording of births back in the day wasnt formalised in African countries as it was later on. you are blessed
One of the first things you notice for yourself in medical school when you first meet patients as a student is how poorly people treat their own health. Ignoring weight, eating habits, blood pressure, smoking, drugs, alcohol and especially denying one's own diagnoses like diabetes, thyroid disease, hypertension or pyorrhea is endemic. Being smart enough to take care of yourself when you're young is a big part of getting to be very old.
My grandmother lived to be 99. She lived on her own and cooked and kept care of her house. She was once a pack a day smoker but quit in her 70's. She finished each day with what she called a "highball" which consisted of Early Times and water over ice. She had a part time job just for fun doing accounting work using Quicken. She commented "all my friends are dead". She was still mentally sharp at her age. Three days after her 99th birthday, she died quickly. I'm glad I visited her on her birthday.
@ Barry F May she rest in peace. She had a good run. I wonder if she'd have lived longer if she stopped smoking sooner or not at all. It's cool that you visited her before she passed. You done good. 👍
My mother is 95, eats healthy, but never exercises, stays somewhat active. I believe what keeps her going is eternal optimism. Never really worries about much, even though she's had a tough life.
@@prittyugly86 I agree that these seniors are successful business people and/or generationally wealthy. What bothers me is the study is of mainly white senior women. The study, although very vital, does little to address the issue of inequalities in the healthcare system nor the plight that many minority families face getting equally good healthcare for their loved ones. The silent generation and baby boomers have the highest life expectancy currently while Gen X and Gen Y are facing an economy left by their elders: the Silent Gen and Boomers that has robbed us of the luxury they are now living in. I'd like to ask some of these pensioners if they actually know how their former employees are getting on living off their Social Security and healthcare by Medicaid. How much do you want to bet they don't know nor have done anything substantial to help their worse off age mates.
My grandma passed away just shy of her 103rd birthday! My grandfather (her husband) lived till 97. Mind you, those last years weren't the greatest, but they both were sharp as tacks at their passings, and had both lived amaaaaazing lives, and WE, their grandchildren, have reaped the benefits of those lives!
My grandma was 94 when she passed from a case of untreated pneumonia in a nursing home. She never kept a phone or a black book, all important numbers, names & birthdates were in her head. Her memory was better than mine when I was in my 20’s. When I asked her how she did it, she said do eat & drink everything but don’t over do anything. Miss her ❤️
Thank you for sharing this beautiful memory here. When I hear someone sharing a memory like this, it seems to awaken my awareness that such memories are one of the most priceless things we can have as aging human. Really, thank you for sharing. Hey kinda random question; do you think family that has passed on can see or even communicate with us here, or do you believe the Christian Biblical perspective that it is something different, posing as the lost loved one? Would be so difficult to have to decide. I almost feel like I know I'm going to have to experience this at some point, and I'd be wise to have came to an educated vantage point before the chapter has found its crossroads with me, as emotionally shocking experiences rarely make a solidified source to find balance upon for a well-sought decision. Sorry I need sleep. Delirious perhaps..😳
@@barrymcleod8853 Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes unto the Father except through Him. (John 14:6) Our sins separate us from God and must be dealt with justly.

Yes. They are sometimes referred to as familiars. Don't have anything to do with them. Therefore, it is wise to think of all people as worthy since God made us all, which is to say venture out beyond your immediate family, good people are your extended family. You'll have innumerable more to spend time with in heaven. So start now.
My mom lived until 102 and passed this past August. Her secret was eating healthy, daily green tea and staying active. She gave up power mall walking at 97 and deteriorated slowly after that. Stay active my friends.
@@user-uy8nw9zm6b She owned an Asian grocery store until her 60’s. She ate a typical Japanese diet seafood (salmon, tuna, mackerel, octopus. If it was from the ocean, it was far game..also tofu, seaweed, a lot of pickles (tsukemono) and a lot of fermented foods, miso, soy sauce, teriyaki, vegetables (cucumbers), fruits. She would buy a box of oranges every year and eat like 5 a day. Her big thing was green tea. She would drink 10 cups of green tea per day…often matcha.
My father is 99 years old, and will be 100 in August. He had me in his 60s. The past 6 or so years have been the hardest as far as his declining health and mobility is concerned, but I am grateful and blessed that he has been with us all these years and I visit whenever I can! Love you pops!
I absolutely loved this story. I was blessed with being able to upgrade my computer and I was going to find a family in need with lots of children to give the old one to, but now I'm going to find a senior, over 70, who would love to have it.
My grandfather is 98 and he's pretty miserable. The love of his life died after 75+ years of marriage and he's outlived all his friends. It has really effected him deeply. He still has his family, but its just not the same without my grandma by his side.
I am only 80 and feel the pain of the loss of a companion as well. It is very difficult to live life alone and perhaps it perhaps it is time for him and for me to communicate It is very difficult to live life alone and perhaps it perhaps it is time for him and for me to communicate? Why not start up PEN PALS 4 90 & UPPERS?
One of the tough parts of growing into your 80s and upwards is that many people with whom you've had relationships - whether family or friends - have died. This has happened to me, and I understand your grandfather's feellings and the feelings of other commenters who have lost loved ones.
How I wish my father lived longer. He passed away when he was just 60, I was only 11 at that time. He was an alcoholic and smokes like there’s no tomorrow. Caused of death? Lung cancer and leukemia. We don’t had much of good memories, lots of sadness and fighting in our house. It was really chaotic. 🙌🏻 Now that Im 35, trying my best to live a healthier life to travel the world. ✈️
Yup. My grandma passed at 98 and everybody thought she was lying about her age. She was so sharp, funny & knew what was going on. She could hop into a convo with me and my friends easily. I miss her so much
My father is 62 years old and still plays full court basketball with men many a third his age. I went to one of his games and he collided with another player sending them both sprawling. The result was a dislocated shoulder. My dad, on the other hand, was uninjured.
@Noah Fernandes His name is Ron but his teammates affectionately call him Pete, short for Peter Pan, the boy who never aged. I have begun looking for any sign that I got his genes.
At age 58 I looked and felt better than I ever had. I went dancing six nights a week for about 5-6 hours, got up the next day and went to work in a very physical job, I did this into my I’d sixties, I don’t consider 62 old at all, I’m pushing 78 now, and I have slowed down some but I’m out!
My grandad lived to 104. The reason I believe was genes he had 9 brothers and sisters that all lived long lives. But what also helped was that he loved life and never worried or stressed himself out. I miss him. Carl Nelson 1903-2007
Very interesting. I could not pick sound on the interviews but I will save it so you can show me how to get. I clicked bin the arrow but it would not come up.!♥️
An excellent well done documentary on aging. My favorite part is the last few minutes interviewing the 92 and 94-year-old who are dating. This segment moved me to tears it was so spiritually beautiful yet filled with such great humor. I don't think the study went into much the importance of laughter as we age and keeping our sense of humor which is a huge reducer of stress. Thank you for this wonderful documentary.
I was thinking the same! Love the last few minutes- definitely piqued my interest. LOL! I think they are onto something when they said, some are getting around the plaques and tangles in their brains, but unsure of what that is. Could it be intimacy (produces happy hormones) and a lot of laughter. You can have a full social life, but the quality may not be the same as being with a few, but close positive spirited people that you share a lot of laughter with.
What a great story...This doctor is so special because of the thoughtfullness and positivity she provides...God bless her and all of those who are helping our elderly
I told my husband to never clean out my side of the closet even if the kids say it will help. I believe that when you get rid of all the things, you now feel emptiness. He said "Ok." He is so sweet to comfort me with that thought.
My grandmother just turned 96, she has two sisters still alive, one 94 and one 98! All three still have all their senses...My grandma is still mentally sharp and remembers everything!

What a treasure for their families... lost both my parents at a young age. I often imagine what life would be like with them today... they would be 84 and 90 now.
My great grandparents lived to be 104 and 106. My grandpa, their son, just passed earlier this year at 95. He was active until the day he passed. Never was overweight, had any medical issues or had vices. He was the best grandfather and role model 💕
Leon Askin died at age 97, and he was obese his whole life. He played General Burkhalter on Hogan's Heroes. My Great Aunt was also fat her whole life and lived into her 90s. Sorry to disappoint you, but weight has nothing to do with it. Living in a society where everyone (including doctors who won't treat your illnesses) hates you and wants you dead BECAUSE of your weight probably takes a toll, though. I noticed pretty quick that the researcher refused to answer the question about obesity & instead deflected with a general comment about it being "bad". No accident that. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leon_Askin
@@robinlillian9471 You lack basic knowledge when it comes to statistics and logic its astounding. You can't say, My x. y or z lived to 100 while obese / fat therefore it must be true. You can't take a few examples you know of and then say "this is how it is because of what I experienced!" The reason researchers and doctors "refuse" to answer is because it's common knowledge by now (through countless studies) that being overweight (to a certain extent) and obesity kills. It's not rocket science. Stop acting dumb just because of a few outliers.
@@lmaoitsover That is why it is so important to check IN with the person instead of checking Up and pinch yer nose and white glove someone. Are they in good fettle or not. For instance, someone having angina would not be OK being obese. The key is Drastic changes to the body as well as living under duress. Genetics are one of many factors. So I can partially agree with you.
I got to take care of my Dad for the last five months of his life. As the first born son, it was a good time to bond - and it was a privilege to wait on him hand and foot. He was 85 - smoked and drank. The last 3 weeks were hard - but no nursing home for him. We spent the final week in a residential hospice, which made the end a lot easier on everyone. You had 10 more years with your mom than did I, and my sympathy goes out to you. There is never any "closure", but time makes it easier. There's nothing wrong with mourning... 🌷
My grandmother lived to be 97. She died months after surgery due to a fall. Prior to her fall, she was mentally sharp. She ate what she wanted. Never held grudges. If she was upset with you, she told you to your face. After she told you about yourself, she let it go. She could, and in some cases would, cook you a meal. She read the newspaper everyday and did crossword puzzles. She used full fat butter to cook and bake, no margarine. She had a daily routine, which included "early to bed, early to rise." She is missed.
i dont think it was alchole that made them live longer but the fact that they socialized while drinking that did. i think just keeping active and happy is what makes you live long. depression, anxiety and boredom kills
+W Washington Speaking of "sleeping patterns and stress" I felt like I should say this: Everyone should breathe through their nose, taking silent, slow, small breathes into the belly while awake AND while asleep to prevent snoring and sleep apnoea, which puts strain on the heart and lungs. Mouth-breathing is very bad for health and also causes deformation of the face and therefore crookedness of the teeth. How many old people in nursing homes breathe through their mouths, putting unnecessary strain on their bodies? Watch videos by Patrick Mckeown and others about breathwork on UA-cam Look at 'Orthotropics' on UA-cam Read 'Jaws: The Story of a Hidden Epidemic' Sorry for the plug.
These are people over 90... if you have too much stress and sleep is way too important, if you're not regularly sleeping well, I don't believe you'll make into the 90's
My Grandmother just turned 93 this year, she still drives, uses a cell phone and has an IPAD. Furthermore, my grandmother told me no matter how bad her feet or back hurts, she would never be caught in a wheelchair or those motorized scooters. Age is a mindset!
My grandma is 94 and still lives on her own and cooks and cleans. Her older brother, turned 104 last December...and still lives at home and stands up tall❤️
Makes me miss my grandparents. 😥 They were the backbone of our family, all holidays, celebrations were at their house. Now that they're gone, our families don't stay in touch, it's a shame. Life goes on, but at least the memories are forever. Thanks all for sharing your wonderful stories!! Those people they interviewed are adorable!
Had nobody from the next generation tried to keep things together and offer to host the family holidays. That is sad to read because it makes you wonder if everyone truly felt like family before the grandparents passed. Like family should be family no matter what. Why is everyone so separate and scattered now? You are right that life does move on but this makes me sad.
@@sandrallewellyn2632, Most of the men where I live look terrible by their late 50's. They just don't take care of themselves....and it shows. The women as a whole, at least try. Poverty also has a lot to do with it...those couples look equally bad.
My grandmother is 95 years old. Lives alone in her home and until 2 years ago still drove her car to run errands. She has a sense of humor that would make anyone blush. Her secrets, she will tell you are, eating well, staying connected with friends, and loving everyone as they are. ❤ I love my grandma.
My grandma is in her mid90's too! Thought she had a stroke some 5 years ago and can't walk anymore, her mind is still quite sharp. These days she enjoys gossiping about the nurses and fellow residents at the care home. She even tells dirty jokes, that's a novelty for her generation. 😄
Reminds me of my aunt that lived alone also (but in Chicago). She stopped driving but lived til 94 (2018). She DID NOT want to end up in a nursing home and got her wish🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
My grandpa passed last week at age 91. I didn't get to see him since January because of covid. I'd give anything to have a few minutes to say a proper goodbye while he was still with us
So sorry for your loss. Many people are in denial. As you get the word out about your loss you make it possible for more people to accept the reality of the pandemic not deny. God bless you.
I'm sorry to hear about ur loss I missed saying goodbye to my 100 yr old aunt.because I fell asleep ,and missed her by 1/2 hour . I had some control over it. You did not. There is no time line on grief
I resonated with the fear of Robert Duvalls character in Second Hand Lions when he worried about getting older. He was scared of “being useless”.. not the inability to enjoy simple pleasures, not loneliness, not even pain.. but being unable to give and provide.
I just lost my great aunt at 89. Lives on her own was strong and healthy until last March. She battled corona but ultimately was too week. Some of these people look amazing they don’t age. She was like them
I am a teacher and run a pool service. I have a pool customer that is 96. The guy has a huge yard and he is up everyday working on it. He also cleans the pool everyday and does it well! He was also a teacher, administrator and superintendent. He gives me GREAT advice. He is better than any therapist I could ever talk to! I asked him the secret to his longevity and he said, “I had a mild heart attack when I was 52, that was the turning point for me.” He said, “stress less, don’t sweat the small stuff and try not to care about things you can’t control.” It sounds simple, but this is what kills us, because we don’t generally live by it. I have a vintage Porsche that I tinker with and he does too! He drives it almost everyday. It’s almost as if we were aligned for some reason. He is a good man and my friend, even though he is 96 and I am 39.
These people are still young in their hearts. I like the fact, that some alcohol is good. My dad always had a few drinks every day, but is still going strong and looking good at 91 years. Would love to listen to their stories. Love this!
Hello Christina, Merry Christmas to you. I hope you are safe and having a good weather. I live in Virginia and I'm looking for new friend, hope you don't mind.
Lesley Stahl was 79 years old when she done this interview. Lesley is now 83. As of 2024, Lesley is starting to break in her voice and in her looks and mentally. But I have to say that Lesley voice, looks, and her mental state in this video, is great! -Melvin - Friday, July 26, 2024 - 2:58 PM - Colorado Springs, Colorado
Fascinating!!! My husband and I are elderly and disabled. He is 79, I am 72. He is still able to drive, I am not. We can still walk a little. Good diet. We read a lot of books. Have lively discussions. Don't see family much. Most of our friends have died. We'd like to be more active, but are limited by our disabilities. This study was an eye opener!!!
@@MeadeSkeltonMusic average life expectancy in the US is under 79 years so yes that is old for an American. Even in global terms in countries with better healthcare and higher life expectancy like Japan and Western European countries being in your 70s would still be “old”. In Japan which has the highest concentration of centenarians (people who live to 100+) , the average life expensive is still only 85. It’s okay to be old if you make healthy lifestyle decisions that help maintain a relatively good quality of life. Fact of the matter is though that no matter how great your diet, exercise routine, or social support is, no one can maintain the same energy, strength, or low pain levels they had in their youth. Doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy your life in your later years, but you’ll need to make some adaptations.
This is so interesting my mother is 71 father is 80 they work full time drive take care of themselves. Doent feel old to me. Things happen but they were always just active people
@@JuneGirl35 You got that right! I have always been “active”-I am nowhere near “athletic”!-so the doctors have me in a different category than most people. I have never been a food freak, but I do try to eat decently. People seem to think my walking a mile is amazing, but I have always walked around, looking at everything, or just enjoying the fresh air (When I could get fresh air!). Nothing special, just not slothful. My best to you!
When my 96 year old grandfather was asked how one lives to be 90+, he replied, "Getting old is easy... Just don't stop breathing." ... sounds reasonable. 🙂
I disagree. People are looking much younger for their age then in decades past. Now days vsome people are looking 20+ years younger than they use to... 70 looks like 50 use to.
i failed the memory test & i’m young. My mom passed the test but she grew up memorizing everything ie 20 different phone numbers. we are living during a time where we aren’t trained to memorize. Everything is kept in cellphone… passwords, phone numbers, directions, internet answers all questions etc. This test will have change as future generations become 90+.
I agree,we must go back to memorizing. I use the a,b,c with names. I'm 65 and read everything I can. I'm working on my weight. I live alone with my doggie and I'm not lonely.
Yes, this is amazing! 2024, My mum is 101 and will be 102 in June. She likes to walk, a good cup of coffee, chocolate and ice cream. She loves to do jig saw puzzles and word find puzzles. Her friend Betty who is 102 and her love to go to exercise class together. They kick their feet up, wave their arms and enjoy rhe togetherness! I pray they keep going as it makes life interesting!
When the one woman says that all of her friends died and she is the only one left I can’t help but think how living a long life is filled with the pain of watching ur loved ones fade away and the pain of struggling to learn new things in this ever changing world....
My grandma is almost 90 and she has lost all of her siblings, her husband, most of her friends, one of her children...it’s really sad. I don’t think I want to outlive all of my family and friends.
My grandmother is 92. Got way more energy then me and eats anything and everything. Never had any food restrictions. She never stressed or worried. Just worked hard and took care of everyone but herself. My grandpa was verbally abusive but she never did let him get to her. Idk how she ever did it. But I'm going to miss her to death when she's gone. 😭😭😭😭
LOVE YOUR AUNT. This is so wonderful to read a post like this. I will be 68 on Easter Sunday, so I am not too far away from 104, just 36 years away (we know how quick that goes), hope I will be living to see it. Your post gave me HOPE.
My Mom is 92 & will be 93 Oct.26, 2022. She is upright t very active. She runs a Theatre Co. & after her last production in July is figuring out she will need help. I am 73 & moving as well.I have Survived 2 Brain Surgeries & have been cut on from my head to my feet & still moving & shaking all the Dis-Ease Off.
@@BeachBaller Really! God bless her, and nice to hear. Thank you for letting me know. Do you happen to have a timestamp for her appearance? O/w I could rewatch the video....How do you know about her?
@@BeachBaller Thank you. I rewatched those few seconds at 3:15 where she said that she would turn 100 in three months. When I watched it originally, I thought to myself, "that's awfully optimistic, lady". Well, she not only made it to 100, she made it to 105. Amazing.
My parents live in Leisure World. It's a Mini Blue Zone. All the seniors there are living it up, it's like high school again. My mom says, "I'm popular". Lol
This is such an amazing video! We get to understand what people who've reached the age of 90 and what they normally do which allowed them to live longer such as staying active by walking and leisure activites. We love how they discussed socializing with others as a part of healthy aging because it plays a role in your wellbeing. Maintaining good and healthy relationships boost your mental and emotional health. It also minimizes the risks of loneliness. Success really does leave clues. Thank you so much for sharing these with all of us, you remind us of everyone here in Reviving Mind, the people we help and the health and wellness coaches.

The most important thing they left out..... all those guys are very secure and comfortable, no financial worries what so ever... all these studies are nonsense to me...... every single person in this world is different.... from lifestyles, to diets, to genes, to life circumstances ......etc.
I work with 65 and up, most are in their late 80s, 90s, and some are over 100. They all have some things in common. Many drink tea, exercise, maintain a social life, drink wine, are spiritual, keep up with current events, and most importantly, tried new hobbies/activities every decade of their life. Some even take classes after their 80s, changed careers.
My grandma is 98 but have dementia 😢 It’s sad she doesn’t know who she is anymore and who we are Living a long life without your health is not living at all
@@ReflectedExpressions I hope you have friends and family who support and check on you. I’m a young guy who got juvenile arthritis. I’m in extreme pain now as I read your message. I can’t do a lot each day. I do what I can when I can. I had to leave my job. And my parents asked me to move back home with them, I finally gave up my apartment and lots of privacy and freedom and came here with them. I get disability now. Parents don’t charge rent. I have a gym membership but never go, I drive to the store or doctor appointments occasionally but I do it slow and it takes time. But I have lots of time now. I’m prescribed lots of medicine. I see a rheumatologist who says I have fibromyalgia as well. My social life is pretty none existent now. It’s an isolated life. I could probably go to church again if I pushed myself. I see my folks everyday. I cook a couple times a week usually. I talk to neighbors who are actually in their 70’s & 80’s. I don’t have siblings. And I don’t see family because there isn’t much family. So yes it’s a bit lonely. Like you I can’t do many chores. My hands hurt so bad. My spine hurts terribly and my left knee and hip have been hurting so bad it’s been like paralysis. But I take my medicine. I try to go out to get takeout food one or two evenings a week if I can drive. I did get myself a nice new Mazda SUV in late June. So I do have that one nice possession to drive in and not worry about reliability or repairs. I pray to God. I have faith. I know this life is temporary but God gave all of us a reason to be here so I try to tell others that God loves them. It’s a simple life. I find joy in the little things. Life is precious no matter how bad it gets. Keep your head up. You are not alone. Do what you can that brings you joy. Even if you just buy some plants to take care of or plant a few vegetables and attempt a garden.
I'll be 90 June the 8th and am still active as I was at 60. My problem is that I don't know what I want to be when I grow up!
Happy birthday!
Good for you. I’m working on that too at age 75,
Hope you had a wonderful birthday, Robert!

I am 94. I enjoy life because of the internet. I keep socially in contact with all my family and friends. I keep up with all that is happening nationally and internationally, and delve into different subjects every day. My opinions are shaped by having remembered events and people over a long period of time. I am grateful to my God for having the chance to experience all that I have. Good and bad. I sincerely believe this earthly experience is another great episode in our journey into the eternities. When I consider the six and one half billion of us on earth today, I am reminded that there are countless molecules that make up matter. I don't know how much longer I will live, but I do know I am a happy camper.
Wow! Fantastic! Do you sleep on your back?

NOTES
8:50 no smoking
8:54 Exercise, 15 min/day, but 45 is better
9:10 didn't have to be at once, so could be spread out in segments; didn't have to be intensive (walking/gardening works)
9:22 Activities/hobbies (book clubs, socializing, board games): every hour increases longevity with no leveling off of that increase
10:21 Vitamin E, A, C, and Calcium did nothing
10:48 Moderate Alcohol (up to 2 drinks a day=10-15% reduced risk of death) is better than no Alcohol; Any kind
11:25 Caffeine, 1-3 cups coffee a day, is better than more or none
11:34 If aging, maintain or gain weight, but do not be obese or (12:00) underweight
11:56 If young, don't be overweight or obese
12:52 Start of Alzheimer's and Dementia part of video
13:18 Brains are donated for research
13:42 If you make it to 90, you'll still get Alz/Dementia eventually
14:04 The risk of developing dementia doubles every 5 years, starting at the age of 65
16:01 Dementia is diagnosed if there's 2 or more brain problems; there's no blood test/x-ray for it
16:26 What is having dementia like?
16:44 Diseases like Alzheimer's are definitively diagnosed in the brain after death
16:57 Dr. Kim looks for plaques and tangles in the brain that show Alzheimer's
17:32 Rest of team reviews 5 years of Bigalo's test results/videos, to try to find when he developed cognitive decline and the causes
18:20 Team thinks it's Alzheimer's, and were wrong
18:41 40% of the time, doctors are wrong about it being Alzheimer's
18:49 Instead it was tiny microscopic Strokes called: Microinfarcts
19:05 It's a tiny hole of missing tissue, and there are many (19:24) by the time the patient is dead
19:18 Microscopic strokes have no symptoms at all
19:35 They don't know how to prevent this, but low blood pressure is suspected as culprit
19:51 Vitamins, Alcohol, Caffeine, Exercise do not prevent dementia
20:06 High blood pressure at 90 reduces dementia (but don't have high blood pressure when young)
20:42 Half of those who died with no dementia still had plaques/tangles (the cause of Alzheimer's)
21:07 Possibilities of why this happens: plaques and tangles are not the indicator, person had plaques and tangles but developed something to get around showing it
21:25 Now they're finding those without dementia who have plaques and tangles, while still alive, with a new type of pet scan
22:08 yellow and red show amyloid plaques
22:32 positive scan means greater risk of future cognitive decline
22:38 They're watching Sid for what he has to prevent cognitive decline
23:01 Dr. Kaywa thinks cognitive decline is like wrinkles: many causes
23:30 Increasing plaques and microinfarcts eventually mean you develop cognitive decline
23:39 Joking about Romance/sex
24:57 Research is continuing on microinfarcts, and other specific types of dementia
25:09 There are plans to identify protective/good genes
25:30 wine, coffee, socialize, exercise, gain weight
SUMMARY
LIVE LONG:
Exercise: 45 minutes throughout each day (even if walking/gardening) (15 minutes is still helpful, but not as much, and don't go above 45 minutes unless you want to)
Hobbies/Socializing: as much time as possible
Drink every day: 1-2 drinks of any kind of alcohol, 1-3 cups coffee
No: Smoking
No difference: Vitamins EAC or Calcium
Weight:
When young: average weight, don't be overweight or obese
When old: average weight or overweight, don't be obese or underweight
PREVENT DEMENTIA:
When old: High blood pressure
This is amazing ty! Also I think the alcohol study is old, newer studies contradict that moderate drinking helps you live longer
@@Chickaqee I was thinking the same thing! It's also very possible that alcohol is contributing to the mini-strokes that Dr. Kim showed in the brains.
I knew it was BS, we hen I saw, "You WILL GET Alzheimer's if you live to 90."
Then, sure enough! "40% of doctors are wrong about it being Alzheimer's." Ha! I bet it's even more than 40% that are WRONG.
I heard dehydration can be a culprit of losing one's memory. Drink your water!
Protect Our Water!
In addition, I don't like the drinking of alcohol, OR caffeine. Both are poison and alcohol dumbs one down.👎👎
P.S. I think the rich drink so much, so they can "live with themselves," for NOT HELPING OTHERS!
Thank you. 18:49 microinfarcts.
@@bw1507 Thanks. Updated it.

@JIM JONES
I take it you don't have a grandma or know anyone who's old.
I have known plenty of people who lived into there 90s.
Has anyone you known has died?
I recently counted all the people I know who died and I could remember about 400 people and most of them was old age a few where illness and accidental death and a small few where young people stupidity. And I am only 30 years old living out side a town of 4,000.
@Tony Dinh
Not really, it's all about if she has mental clarity , can see and if she is heathy enough to drive. I once knew a girl in her 20s who said she would rather get into an accident then get lost. I told her she could just pull into a parking lot and turn around and retake a turn if needed not brake the law with a dangerous illegal turn. Well the fool totaled her car. She was young with great heath eye sight but had bad sense.
@Tony Dinh
Been driven around by the over 80s and been safe. It's the person not the age. Yes there are people who needs to stop driving when they get a certain age. Sometimes it's not even that old they are in there 40s and shouldn't be behind the wheel.
My grandmother was also born in 1918, which is the year one of the women interviewed was born. She's still alive in 2021. She'll turn 103 this year.

I never hear him complain about much. He just really appreciates simple things, reads the newspaper, likes the food he eats, coffee with milk and lots of water.
Your grandpap is living my dream life!
They gave a 96 year old man a heart transplant? No way. That is not accurate. If by "ticker" you mean his heart, you are mistaken. They do not give heart transplant to people in their late 90's.

Why
Sorry for your loss
I turned 90 in April, always ate anything I wanted, never dieted, drink moderately, lifts heavy things, still drives with good driving skills and keep very active, in an organization I started, but slowing down a bit. Was active in Politics after my husband passed away and accomplished a lot of things in my community as the first woman mayor and councilperson. I feel that keeping very active is partly why I reached 90. No one believes that I am 90 years old.
If you don’t mind me asking, how did you feel about aging older? As I get older, I am overwhelmed with the suspense of the fact that I am aging and there is nothing I can do about it.
No secrets or vitamins? What about younger life, exercise alot?
@@ramenlover1727 my Aunts are in their late 70s and early 80s and they tell me how to set up my phone and computer apps. Your body is only as old as you feel. If you are not active you will deteriorate.

My grandma was 97 when she passed. She was sharp until then, even doing her own taxes.
Wow amazing 😀
That's awesome! My grandmother was 98 when she passed. I used to go and sit with her and we would do the word scramble that they published in the paper. Her eyesight was a little bad and I would read the letters to her and she would unscramble the words in her head as I scribbled them down on paper and played with them. There were six words each day and we would usually split about 3 a piece for who got them first. She really amazed me..

I have a gig where I sing with a cabaret pianist who is 93 years old. Although she has a hard time getting around (she uses a walker and a wheelchair) her mind is as sharp as a tack. She can play for 4 hours from memory and never repeat the same song...and correct my words if I flub up. I think its the music that keeps her sharp and she had been able to do what she loves for nearly 71 years.
A separate study (not mentioned in this video) showed that Alzheimer's patients respond positively to the music of their youth and not only physically but verbally and they exhibit happiness.
This is now a common practice in memory care facilities and nursing homes.

One of the first things you notice for yourself in medical school when you first meet patients as a student is how poorly people treat their own health. Ignoring weight, eating habits, blood pressure, smoking, drugs, alcohol and especially denying one's own diagnoses like diabetes, thyroid disease, hypertension or pyorrhea is endemic. Being smart enough to take care of yourself when you're young is a big part of getting to be very old.
My grandmother lived to be 99. She lived on her own and cooked and kept care of her house. She was once a pack a day smoker but quit in her 70's. She finished each day with what she called a "highball" which consisted of Early Times and water over ice. She had a part time job just for fun doing accounting work using Quicken. She commented "all my friends are dead". She was still mentally sharp at her age. Three days after her 99th birthday, she died quickly.
I'm glad I visited her on her birthday.

Hi hi hi hi Jo no no o o no no o no no hi I I u u ion also
@ Barry F
May she rest in peace. She had a good run. I wonder if she'd have lived longer if she stopped smoking sooner or not at all.
It's cool that you visited her before she passed. You done good. 👍
Do u mind if I ask how she died ,stroke , cardiac event?
I have watched this video three times and I have still come to the same conclusion. Happiness leads to a longer life.
Also activities and exercise
YES ! That what I got and BALANCE
NOPE!!! Money leads to a longer life. These seniors are ballers... or their kids are.
My mother is 95, eats healthy, but never exercises, stays somewhat active. I believe what keeps her going is eternal optimism. Never really worries about much, even though she's had a tough life.
@@prittyugly86 I agree that these seniors are successful business people and/or generationally wealthy. What bothers me is the study is of mainly white senior women. The study, although very vital, does little to address the issue of inequalities in the healthcare system nor the plight that many minority families face getting equally good healthcare for their loved ones. The silent generation and baby boomers have the highest life expectancy currently while Gen X and Gen Y are facing an economy left by their elders: the Silent Gen and Boomers that has robbed us of the luxury they are now living in. I'd like to ask some of these pensioners if they actually know how their former employees are getting on living off their Social Security and healthcare by Medicaid. How much do you want to bet they don't know nor have done anything substantial to help their worse off age mates.
I am a caregiver for the elderly! I enjoy working with them. I love listening to their stories and their sense of humor are amazing!

My grandma was 94 when she passed from a case of untreated pneumonia in a nursing home. She never kept a phone or a black book, all important numbers, names & birthdates were in her head. Her memory was better than mine when I was in my 20’s. When I asked her how she did it, she said do eat & drink everything but don’t over do anything. Miss her ❤️
Ahhhhh, I just loved reading your Comment about your Grandma. Thanks for sharing that. Take care.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful memory here. When I hear someone sharing a memory like this, it seems to awaken my awareness that such memories are one of the most priceless things we can have as aging human. Really, thank you for sharing.
Hey kinda random question; do you think family that has passed on can see or even communicate with us here, or do you believe the Christian Biblical perspective that it is something different, posing as the lost loved one? Would be so difficult to have to decide. I almost feel like I know I'm going to have to experience this at some point, and I'd be wise to have came to an educated vantage point before the chapter has found its crossroads with me, as emotionally shocking experiences rarely make a solidified source to find balance upon for a well-sought decision. Sorry I need sleep. Delirious perhaps..😳

Therefore, it is wise to think of all people as worthy since God made us all, which is to say venture out beyond your immediate family, good people are your extended family.

My mom lived until 102 and passed this past August. Her secret was eating healthy, daily green tea and staying active. She gave up power mall walking at 97 and deteriorated slowly after that. Stay active my friends.
@@user-uy8nw9zm6b She owned an Asian grocery store until her 60’s. She ate a typical Japanese diet seafood (salmon, tuna, mackerel, octopus. If it was from the ocean, it was far game..also tofu, seaweed, a lot of pickles (tsukemono) and a lot of fermented foods, miso, soy sauce, teriyaki, vegetables (cucumbers), fruits. She would buy a box of oranges every year and eat like 5 a day. Her big thing was green tea. She would drink 10 cups of green tea per day…often matcha.
It’s a blessing if you live to 90 with no health complications & you have your family around. 🙏🏻

Explains why men die sooner
My grandfather is 98 and he's pretty miserable. The love of his life died after 75+ years of marriage and he's outlived all his friends. It has really effected him deeply. He still has his family, but its just not the same without my grandma by his side.
I am only 80 and feel the pain of the loss of a companion as well. It is very difficult to live life alone and perhaps it perhaps it is time for him and for me to communicate It is very difficult to live life alone and perhaps it perhaps it is time for him and for me to communicate? Why not start up PEN PALS 4 90 & UPPERS?
This is my grandfather too. But he focused on his grandchildren and great grandchildren. He texts me every morning! Love that man ❤️
Somebody replied about your Grand Father pretty asinine too blow her off
One of the tough parts of growing into your 80s and upwards is that many people with whom you've had relationships - whether family or friends - have died. This has happened to me, and I understand your grandfather's feellings and the feelings of other commenters who have lost loved ones.
Get checked for parasites regularly.
How I wish my father lived longer. He passed away when he was just 60, I was only 11 at that time. He was an alcoholic and smokes like there’s no tomorrow. Caused of death? Lung cancer and leukemia. We don’t had much of good memories, lots of sadness and fighting in our house. It was really chaotic. 🙌🏻 Now that Im 35, trying my best to live a healthier life to travel the world. ✈️
A sense of humor , all the people I have known that lived past 90 had a great sense of humor!
Yup. My grandma passed at 98 and everybody thought she was lying about her age. She was so sharp, funny & knew what was going on. She could hop into a convo with me and my friends easily. I miss her so much
oh I'm dead then
If I am lucky enough to live that long, I am not sweating anything anymore!
My father is 62 years old and still plays full court basketball with men many a third his age. I went to one of his games and he collided with another player sending them both sprawling. The result was a dislocated shoulder. My dad, on the other hand, was uninjured.
@Noah Fernandes His name is Ron but his teammates affectionately call him Pete, short for Peter Pan, the boy who never aged. I have begun looking for any sign that I got his genes.
@@WhtetstoneFlunky
You certainly got someone's looks
We think 62 is old because for lots of people that age they're already very aged but it doesn't have to be that way.
At age 58 I looked and felt better than I ever had. I went dancing six nights a week for about 5-6 hours, got up the next day and went to work in a very physical job, I did this into my I’d sixties, I don’t consider 62 old at all, I’m pushing 78 now, and I have slowed down some but I’m out!
62 is older but not old. 82 would be a big difference
My grandad lived to 104. The reason I believe was genes he had 9 brothers and sisters that all lived long lives. But what also helped was that he loved life and never worried or stressed himself out. I miss him. Carl Nelson 1903-2007

This is a beautiful segment-- not only on how to do legitimate research, but also highlighting our seniors. Well done, 60 Minutes
An excellent well done documentary on aging. My favorite part is the last few minutes interviewing the 92 and 94-year-old who are dating. This segment moved me to tears it was so spiritually beautiful yet filled with such great humor. I don't think the study went into much the importance of laughter as we age and keeping our sense of humor which is a huge reducer of stress. Thank you for this wonderful documentary.
I was thinking the same! Love the last few minutes- definitely piqued my interest. LOL! I think they are onto something when they said, some are getting around the plaques and tangles in their brains, but unsure of what that is. Could it be intimacy (produces happy hormones) and a lot of laughter. You can have a full social life, but the quality may not be the same as being with a few, but close positive spirited people that you share a lot of laughter with.
Thank YOU for this remark !
Affection and laughter are surely the best stress reducer.. and having less worries !!

What a treasure for their families... lost both my parents at a young age. I often imagine what life would be like with them today... they would be 84 and 90 now.
My great grandparents lived to be 104 and 106. My grandpa, their son, just passed earlier this year at 95. He was active until the day he passed. Never was overweight, had any medical issues or had vices. He was the best grandfather and role model 💕
...and he probably thought "darn it, my parents lived ten years longer than this!
Leon Askin died at age 97, and he was obese his whole life. He played General Burkhalter on Hogan's Heroes. My Great Aunt was also fat her whole life and lived into her 90s. Sorry to disappoint you, but weight has nothing to do with it. Living in a society where everyone (including doctors who won't treat your illnesses) hates you and wants you dead BECAUSE of your weight probably takes a toll, though. I noticed pretty quick that the researcher refused to answer the question about obesity & instead deflected with a general comment about it being "bad". No accident that.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leon_Askin
@@robinlillian9471 You lack basic knowledge when it comes to statistics and logic its astounding. You can't say, My x. y or z lived to 100 while obese / fat therefore it must be true. You can't take a few examples you know of and then say "this is how it is because of what I experienced!" The reason researchers and doctors "refuse" to answer is because it's common knowledge by now (through countless studies) that being overweight (to a certain extent) and obesity kills. It's not rocket science. Stop acting dumb just because of a few outliers.
95 and never a vice, that's no fun
@@lmaoitsover That is why it is so important to check IN with the person instead of checking Up and pinch yer nose and white glove someone. Are they in good fettle or not. For instance, someone having angina would not be OK being obese. The key is Drastic changes to the body as well as living under duress. Genetics are one of many factors. So I can partially agree with you.
My dear mother passed away last month at the age of 94. It was heart breaking to see her decline during the past year and I am still heart broken.
I’m so sorry to hear that.

I am sorry❤️
I got to take care of my Dad for the last five months of his life. As the first born son, it was a good time to bond - and it was a privilege to wait on him hand and foot. He was 85 - smoked and drank. The last 3 weeks were hard - but no nursing home for him. We spent the final week in a residential hospice, which made the end a lot easier on everyone. You had 10 more years with your mom than did I, and my sympathy goes out to you. There is never any "closure", but time makes it easier. There's nothing wrong with mourning... 🌷
😔🌹🙏 Condolences
My grandmother lived to be 97. She died months after surgery due to a fall. Prior to her fall, she was mentally sharp. She ate what she wanted. Never held grudges. If she was upset with you, she told you to your face. After she told you about yourself, she let it go. She could, and in some cases would, cook you a meal. She read the newspaper everyday and did crossword puzzles. She used full fat butter to cook and bake, no margarine. She had a daily routine, which included "early to bed, early to rise." She is missed.
i dont think it was alchole that made them live longer but the fact that they socialized while drinking that did. i think just keeping active and happy is what makes you live long. depression, anxiety and boredom kills
They all didn’t seem to have any stress. I wish they would have discussed sleep patterns & stress.
They sleep 7-8 hours and still dream.
How many times do they,,,,,P🇺🇸
@Rye Bread you are rye you sag old bag
+W Washington
Speaking of "sleeping patterns and stress" I felt like I should say this:
Everyone should breathe through their nose, taking silent, slow, small breathes into the belly while awake AND while asleep to prevent snoring and sleep apnoea, which puts strain on the heart and lungs. Mouth-breathing is very bad for health and also causes deformation of the face and therefore crookedness of the teeth.
How many old people in nursing homes breathe through their mouths, putting unnecessary strain on their bodies?

My Grandmother just turned 93 this year, she still drives, uses a cell phone and has an IPAD. Furthermore, my grandmother told me no matter how bad her feet or back hurts, she would never be caught in a wheelchair or those motorized scooters. Age is a mindset!

Had nobody from the next generation tried to keep things together and offer to host the family holidays.

I am a teacher and run a pool service. I have a pool customer that is 96. The guy has a huge yard and he is up everyday working on it. He also cleans the pool everyday and does it well! He was also a teacher, administrator and superintendent. He gives me GREAT advice. He is better than any therapist I could ever talk to! I asked him the secret to his longevity and he said, “I had a mild heart attack when I was 52, that was the turning point for me.” He said, “stress less, don’t sweat the small stuff and try not to care about things you can’t control.” It sounds simple, but this is what kills us, because we don’t generally live by it. I have a vintage Porsche that I tinker with and he does too! He drives it almost everyday. It’s almost as if we were aligned for some reason. He is a good man and my friend, even though he is 96 and I am 39.

That's not old.
@@MeadeSkeltonMusic average life expectancy in the US is under 79 years so yes that is old for an American. Even in global terms in countries with better healthcare and higher life expectancy like Japan and Western European countries being in your 70s would still be “old”. In Japan which has the highest concentration of centenarians (people who live to 100+) , the average life expensive is still only 85. It’s okay to be old if you make healthy lifestyle decisions that help maintain a relatively good quality of life. Fact of the matter is though that no matter how great your diet, exercise routine, or social support is, no one can maintain the same energy, strength, or low pain levels they had in their youth. Doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy your life in your later years, but you’ll need to make some adaptations.

My aunt is 104. Issues with her feet so wheelchair bound, but still sharp as a tack. Born around 1915
Amazing!
LOVE YOUR AUNT. This is so wonderful to read a post like this. I will be 68 on Easter Sunday, so I am not too far away from 104, just 36 years away (we know how quick that goes), hope I will be living to see it. Your post gave me HOPE.
❤️ I love to see elderly people staying active and living their best life!
My Mom is 92 & will be 93 Oct.26, 2022. She is upright t very active. She runs a Theatre Co. & after her last production in July is figuring out she will need help.
I am 73 & moving as well.I have Survived 2 Brain Surgeries & have been cut on from my head to my feet & still moving & shaking all the Dis-Ease Off.
That's fantastic! Happy for you! Life is to be enjoyed, regardless of the circumstances.
i loved this...it brings me joy seeing the elderly being happy
I hope these brilliant people are all still alive and thriving!
I imagine they are all dead, as they would all be over 102 by now. Not impossible, but not likely either.
One of the people interviewed named Jane Whistler passed away at 105 in Oct 2019. She lived an incredible life

Really! God bless her, and nice to hear. Thank you for letting me know. Do you happen to have a timestamp for her appearance? O/w I could rewatch the video....How do you know about her?
@@jimwerther She first appears at the timestamp of 3:15. I searched up her name and her obituary was the first thing to show.
@@BeachBaller
Thank you. I rewatched those few seconds at 3:15 where she said that she would turn 100 in three months. When I watched it originally, I thought to myself, "that's awfully optimistic, lady". Well, she not only made it to 100, she made it to 105. Amazing.
My parents live in Leisure World. It's a Mini Blue Zone. All the seniors there are living it up, it's like high school again. My mom says, "I'm popular". Lol
that’s so cute that your mom says that!
Love it!
Is she the homecoming queen? 👸👑
That is so sweet! I am so happy for your Mom!
Probably in a click and makes fun of the people with micro infarts who talks on their T.V. Remotes.
This is such an amazing video! We get to understand what people who've reached the age of 90 and what they normally do which allowed them to live longer such as staying active by walking and leisure activites. We love how they discussed socializing with others as a part of healthy aging because it plays a role in your wellbeing. Maintaining good and healthy relationships boost your mental and emotional health. It also minimizes the risks of loneliness. Success really does leave clues. Thank you so much for sharing these with all of us, you remind us of everyone here in Reviving Mind, the people we help and the health and wellness coaches.
I'm 91 years old and an introvert. Socializing to me is being on Facebook and You Tube. It's the best that I can do.
When my 96 year old grandfather was asked how one lives to be 90+, he replied, "Getting old is easy... Just don't stop breathing." ... sounds reasonable. 🙂
hahahaha
My mom is 97 and doing well.
How does a 93-year old man have a better hairline than me? FML
Yes, good one
YESSSSSS POPS
They're also not talking about 1 major thing... FINANCIAL SECURITY. All of the people in this study had financial security.
Agreed.. the elephant in the room. Finances can be a stress factor.. and stress , or lack of same, seems critical to aging.
Bingo
The most important thing they left out..... all those guys are very secure and comfortable, no financial worries what so ever... all these studies are nonsense to me...... every single person in this world is different.... from lifestyles, to diets, to genes, to life circumstances ......etc.
@@souadghazal2533 Too bad they only looked at 14,000 people, huh?
@@souadghazal2533, excellent point. Less stress from finances.
What a truly uplifting film! From the presenters to the oldest of the oldies everyone was smiling and positive. Thanks for uploading x
Yeah its easy to be smiling and positive when you've been ballin out your whole life.
I work with 65 and up, most are in their late 80s, 90s, and some are over 100. They all have some things in common. Many drink tea, exercise, maintain a social life, drink wine, are spiritual, keep up with current events, and most importantly, tried new hobbies/activities every decade of their life. Some even take classes after their 80s, changed careers.
I would like to see an update on this study today since this from 2014. It’s very fascinating.
My grandma is 98 but have dementia 😢
It’s sad she doesn’t know who she is anymore and who we are
Living a long life without your health is not living at all
Yes this is really key,it's the health part
@JesusPaid4You 2 I am so sorry. That sounds like a terrible ordeal for her and your family. My prayers are with you.
@@ReflectedExpressions I hope you have friends and family who support and check on you. I’m a young guy who got juvenile arthritis. I’m in extreme pain now as I read your message. I can’t do a lot each day. I do what I can when I can. I had to leave my job. And my parents asked me to move back home with them, I finally gave up my apartment and lots of privacy and freedom and came here with them. I get disability now. Parents don’t charge rent. I have a gym membership but never go, I drive to the store or doctor appointments occasionally but I do it slow and it takes time. But I have lots of time now. I’m prescribed lots of medicine. I see a rheumatologist who says I have fibromyalgia as well. My social life is pretty none existent now. It’s an isolated life. I could probably go to church again if I pushed myself. I see my folks everyday. I cook a couple times a week usually. I talk to neighbors who are actually in their 70’s & 80’s. I don’t have siblings. And I don’t see family because there isn’t much family. So yes it’s a bit lonely. Like you I can’t do many chores. My hands hurt so bad. My spine hurts terribly and my left knee and hip have been hurting so bad it’s been like paralysis. But I take my medicine. I try to go out to get takeout food one or two evenings a week if I can drive. I did get myself a nice new Mazda SUV in late June. So I do have that one nice possession to drive in and not worry about reliability or repairs. I pray to God. I have faith. I know this life is temporary but God gave all of us a reason to be here so I try to tell others that God loves them. It’s a simple life. I find joy in the little things. Life is precious no matter how bad it gets. Keep your head up. You are not alone. Do what you can that brings you joy. Even if you just buy some plants to take care of or plant a few vegetables and attempt a garden.
