Mbeautiful physically,spiritually and socially...lakini ya Mola ni mengi.

Well - it's a bit dicy, Some are - so be on the lookout. Some are not but are environmental. If you had cancer in your family - I suggest you get regular checkups. I also think the fact that human bodies are living for longer than it was possible before we were - we have started seeing the repercussions of this. Ageing is associated with a number of events at the molecular, cellular, and physiologic levels that influence carcinogenesis and subsequent cancer growth - so the older you get the higher the risk. Plus there lifestyle related things such as taking in of carcinogenic substances like the blackened areas on charred and grilled beef.... (hiyo WELL DONE tumejifunza kupenda)... is carcinogenic!

what exactly is she trying to do ? she's getting treatment NOT doing on a vacation/holiday.people will do anything to get attention.

yeah... I knew someone would raise this.... citing their grandmother.... I actually baited the post waiting for it...
My grand father is 94 years old and he is alive but ask him how many of his compatriots are alive... old boys from the old days... he stands alone. ask your grandmother how many of them are around? utashangaa... we confuse outliers to be representative of their populations. ask them how many brothers/sisters they lost growing up! Hao ndio masurvivers... actually what we confuse as "them living longer" is also related to modern medicine - wazees benefit a lot and for some reason they are not seen as being "us"...

There are 3 things that would have correlation with long life
1) a good diet
2) exercise
3) good health care/medicine
My assessment is this before ukoloni people used to die like flies (life expectancy was like 22 - look it up) - due to the lack of No. 3. When they came, they came with medicine and the survivers of that stage - benefited from a good diet, excercise and medicine.
Our parents had for part of their lives the 3 but ruined the exercise bit and some how the diet when they 'grew up'... they even smoked more due to the trends of the time.
For us... we are the 1st knowledge driven generation that aspires for all the 3 - why should we not live longer? cancers will show up but will be managed with early diagnosis...
