Recent studies from the University of Boston indicate that the longevity of your parents is linked directly to your health, particularly to the risks of a cardiovascular disease. If one of both of your parents has lived to at lest 85 years of age your cardiovascular risks in your medium years.

This data is not something new, scientists realize that there a healthy lifestyle is not the only key factor to your health, genetics play a big part of your own longevity. This is not to say that if our parents pass away before this key age you are doomed to have a disease, a healthy diet is the counterpart of longevity.
