If you look at the Asians very well, they always live very long much more than people from other regions.

 

[Augusta]

Yeah and I believe it could just be about their lifestyle and the kind of food they eat

When it comes to living long, the Asians are blessed with this, I guess the kind of lifestyle also plays an important role as well.

In African, even in my village there are old people who have surpassed that record but unfortunately we don't have statistics to back up the claim. But i agreed that Japanese people seems to be blessed with old age more than other countries.

Yes we can have such people but without records nothing is certain and we can't make the claims
