I don’t know much about it. I need to eat more veggies for sure. My great grandmother lived to be 98 though, so if there is a genetic component, I have that.It's not that simple, but it definitely can help, especially the sun part.
Florida is just as obese as the rest of the country. There are no longevity benefits there (see below).
Florida or Corpus Christi Texas isn't rife with centenarians. In fact, Utah and Idaho has longer life expectancy than Florida, SC, or Texas, temperate climates.
Here is life expectancy by state.
That said, latitude and climate definitely helps. Although it is likely a precursor to the availability of food selection, physical activity, and access to nature, sun (less stress, vitamin D) as well as sustainability.
It isn't easy to eat plant-based in Alaska, Minnesota, or Amarillo Texas. I'd even say it is hard in Corpus.
But it would be easy in Costa Rica. Or Hawaii. And the sun, nature, and beaches certainly would help.

Here is why Hawaii has the longest life expectancy in the country
Story at a glance Hawaii has the longest life expectancy at birth out of all 50 states, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. On average, a person born in Hawaii can now…thehill.com
That said, I wanted to bring awareness to the elephant in the room for the few folks here who are open-minded about the most important health decision one makes every single day of their life, a decision that likely won't seem important until they are in the back third of their life.
This is why I take lifespan and longevity studies very seriously, and give little weight to short-term studies rife with reductionism and agenda. You can't fake a 102 year old.
Bottomline, when people are competing in the most important competition of all -- LIFE --- the competition of longevity and lifespan, the plant-based way of eating (not fake meat and vegan Oreos) is always there, but blissfully ignored. I stopped ignoring it about 5 years ago and never felt better.
After the COVID BS, you're truly on your own. I trust my wife (with a nursing degree, not an MD) more than some medical doctor whose first inclination is to put you on drugs and tow the mainstream narratives, instead of addressing true underlying causes.
Yea, he's on a mission to the point of fanaticism.
Relaxation and stress definitely play a role. Same with physical activity. Being in a desk job or doing something like roofing for 40 years will really take a toll on your body, I’m sure.
Leisurely strolls on the beach probably do wonders for the mind, body, and psychological well-being.
Great grandma was doing water aerobics even at 98. She said people die when they give up - when they stop doing things, going out, meeting people, etc
