Yeah after a certain age it has nothing to do with lifestyle choices, they're just lucky.

Yet another news site writes article claiming someone with exceptional genes is still alive because of something completely unrelated - Insists on continuing to be regarded as a reputable news source.

If I make it to 90, all gloves are off. Give me some heroin, I wanna try chasing the dragon. We better all be smoking a king size joint on my deathbed

I just had a 100 year old customer and they didn't look a day over 80. He retired two years before I was born.

I don't think there's any secret to it. They simply have exceptional genes.
