What foods would your great grandmother be eating?

Full talk with Calley here:
Going on my watchlist!
Yeah it's the food but there also wasn't electricity giving us 24/7 wake behaviors. We used to follow the sun for sleep/wake and that circadian rhythm when disrupted damages the immune system. It's more a thing than the does.
All pieces to the puzzle
Al principi del segle XX l'esperança de vida no arribava als 60 anys, que no us enganyin amb falòrnies!
So, the doubling in life expectancy in the last hundred years doesn't have anything to do with the deseases like diabetes, dementia, heart desease, etc.? They all appear at advanced age, and 100 years ago people would die of infections, or accidents, etc., before they could develop the old age diseases.
Thanks to vaccinations and much better sanitary, medical, nutritional, etc. conditions, we now live much longer and therefore develop all the old age diseases.
On average people lived shorter because many died early, but bunch of people still lived into old age. And nowadays people are developing heart disease even in their 50s whereas heart disease was extremely rare in any age group, even in 50s and beyond.
