So just like the the Rufus Wainwright song,
Everything it seems I likes a little bit stronger
A little bit thicker, a little bit harmful for me
I was reading on BBC Mundo that there’s a province in Cuba where folks that drink alcohol, smoke, and enjoy healthy sex lives live longer…but what the biggest indicator of health seems to me like their diet and environment…
Casi todos se alimentaban con una dieta que incluÃa pescado, huevos, leche, pan blanco y vegetales, cocinados con poca sal y condimentos naturales. *In English* Almost everyone ate with a diet that included fish, eggs, milk, white bread and vegitables, cooks with little salt and natural condiments.
I would wager that heathy diet, plus tropical climate can equal out cigar smoking (as the smoke is not inhaled into the lungs) and alcohol (because in the study noone was alcoholic)…in addition to that, I imagine that walking is a big part of their lives, so exercize, climate, and diet definitely seem like they contribute to longevity.
