The key here is Barring Accidents, Genetic
predispositions and things which are beyond
our immediate control....
I think people can maximum their physical
life expectancy...but here is the key:

what part does attitude and the unforseen dimensions of our life play in this equation?

And even more: do we BELIEVE in prolonging
our life or just living it up since we are
"going to die anyway"?

Life is not as simplistic as "if you eat well"
you'll live long...

I believe other dimensions in our life have
bearing on this issue...

Let me give you an example: some people may
be ill and not know it; but once the doctor
gives them a diagnosis and poor prognosis it
hastens their death...

Others are given a placebo and live a long
and healthy life...
