29、 the heart and blood vessel system stronger.Another factor that may contribute to the good health of these people is their isolation. To a great extent, they are separated from the pressures and worried of industrial society.Inherited factors also play some role. Most of the longest-lived people had

30、 parents and grandparents who also reached very old ages. Good family genes may, therefore, be one factor in living longer.Finally, although these three groups dont eat exactly the same foods, their diets are similar. The Hunzas, Vilacbambans, and Soviets eat little animal meat. Their diets are full

31、 of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, cheese, and milk. They never eat more food than their bodies need.It is clear that isolation from urban pressures and pollution, clean mountain air, daily hard work, moderate diets, good genes, and a youthful approach to life all contribute to the health a
