Seventy-Year-Old Was Few

In olden days, people who lived up to seventy were very few. We do not understand why they could not live to that age.
Actually, there were no cars and high buildings at that time. Air was so clean and people had to walk by feet or by horse, no pollution of any kind everywhere. The earth was clear and the river was green.
But, today, we see cars everywhere and buildings so closely connected to each other. Pollution is everywhere. Food is full with chemicals. Then why people can live longer.
Today many travelers around the world are those of sixty and many people at seventy are still working hard to achieve goals of their life.
In China and in Japan, many people live to eighty, some to ninety, few to one hundred. That is the situation today.
Many people think that due to the advance of medical knowledge, people can be able to live longer. It is so to certain extent. But, the people who live longer life do not depend on medicine. They live a heathy life by themselves, less eating, mind peaceful, no drinking alcohol. They have a desire to live a long life and by that desire, they have done so.
