NGONGE Posted April 18, 2013 ^^ When are you planning to pop yourself, Lily? At sixty, seventy or eighty? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Lily- Posted April 18, 2013 Listen, I am sure there is a dua not asking for death but requesting to return to one's Lord while you have your strength and mind? My mum always says it, I 'll check with her. There are very fit 80 year olds. My grandad died at 80 but he looked more like a 60 year old. Very active and fit. Then you have 50 year olds falling apart. It is the suffering of old age one asks protection from. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Faheema. Posted April 18, 2013 Afternoon all. Lily, I also think it was due their 'lifestyle'. people back then led an active life and drank plenty of Caano Geel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NGONGE Posted April 18, 2013 ^^ Do your knees creak when you walk, Faheema? Caano Geel causes shuban. Shuban weakens the bowels. Old people have weak bowels. Err..uuuf. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faheema. Posted April 18, 2013 ^ my knees are in working order now....no more creaks, must be the sun lol Caano geel causes shuban only when it's drunk by amateurs like yourself Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SayidSomal Posted April 18, 2013 Couldn't agree more there Faheema and only to take the wasakh that he had been ingesting all those years Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abu-Salman Posted April 18, 2013 Lily, 90 is really not very old, certainely not synonimous with disability/alzheimer; read that book about Shangri La and other places 100 years old being the norm and looks like 120s is more the "natural limit"; my gdparents didn't/don't feel that old at that age, save the ill-advised knee replacement that weakened gd-ma. Let's be realistic though, it would be extremely surprising and good to come close to even that in these days of unlimited food, little sunshine and omnipresent stressors/status anxiety. The other extremely interesting finding is that plenty of good relationships/ tight knit extended families or strong community cohesion trumps pretty much all other factors and may be the single most crucial factor (Swedish minority in Finaland or the well-studied US Italian enclave of Roseto); this explains probably well why nurses or others involved in often very stressful conditions, striving to educate, preach to or improve others seem more immune to usual cardiovascular/diabete-metabolic syndrome/cancers scourges...
