90 and still alert – grandma’s secret lies in living comfortably

My mom’s dad is still alive! I know it sounds strange because many moms have their dad’s still living.

  • However, my grandpa’s case is different.

He is 90 years old and looks like he turned 60 because of how strong and handsome he is. I bet one could think he and my mom are siblings and not the other way round. Well, grandpa is one of the most energetic old men I know. He lives alone and does practically everything by himself because he rarely falls sick. Whenever time allows, I love driving down to his farm and hang out with him. Despite his excellent genes, he has a great sense of humor and is very wise. One time as we walked in the woods, I wanted to know his secret for longevity. He laughed and acknowledged that he was lucky and blessed before anything else. Besides that, he attributes his well-being to living a comfortable and stress-free life. H was quick to define comfort lest I thought it was getting everything one desired. Contrary to that, he believes that it is key to surround oneself with lots of fresh air that helps them relax and free their minds. Whether outdoors or indoors, the quality of air one breathes is crucial. This explains why he ensures that his home has an elaborate heating and cooling unit. He spends a fortune to have it well maintained and updated. The HVAC business and HVAC contractors come in four times a year to ensure everything is right. He also invested in a good air purifier and humidifier to boost the efficiency of the AC in his home. With the indoors sorted, he also loves to spend a lot of time outside, something he learned to do with his late wife many years ago.
