My Maternal Great Grandfather was more average dying at 83. My Maternal Great Grandmother died at 85. My Paternal Grandfather died at 87 or 88. My Paternal Aunt Tabitha will be 101 in two weeks (her health is declining). My Maternal Grandmother is 82 and going very strong. My Father is 65 and as sharp as a tack (though he is diabetic, does not eat the healthiest food, and does not exercise). My Paternal Aunt Connie is nearing 90 years old and still going strong. My Mother is nearing 60 and still going strong (though her hearing has decreased, at times eats healthy, she smokes, and does not exercise). The only bad point is my Maternal Grandfather; he died at 43 from adrenal cancer. He smoked, drank, and didn't eat the healthiest food. I run 2-3 miles every day. I try to keep to 2,000 calories a day. Also, not only do I try to stay away from excessive salt, sugar, a lot of meat, and fat ... if I have any, then I get bad heartburn and (I think) ARD! So, I am forced to stick to a diet of water, fruit, mixed nuts, stir fry vegetables & salad, and shrimp. But, I am 35 pounds over weight at 200 lbs. I was able to keep to 165 for two years when I was younger and felt great! I need to get back to that weight ... but what would be my expectancy? Where do I go to find out? How can I keep an eye on it?
