Hi, an 85 year old we know is as fit as a fiddle, still goes dancing and
has never been to a doctor ever. Since as far as he can remember he has
religiously taken each day a: a grapefruit, and an apple and a small
handful apricots. Since we have decided to do the same, what is the most
beneficial time to eat such fruit. would it be with a meal, seperate from
other meals or drinks, last thing at night? thanks for any advice.

Grapefruit at breakfast
Apple at lunch
Apricots at supper or as a mid-afternoon snack

How far back does "as far as he can remember" go?

BTW, Julia Child attributed her long life to red meat and gin.

Well gin is made from fruit isn't it? Juniper berries, if I am remembering
right. I am counting on the "grape juice" I have at meal time to extend my
life. :-)

hate to say this but longevity is mainly genetic--twin studies are the
technique to sort this out--search medline

My wife's Grandmother lived to 106 - Until her last 5 years when she switched to
red wine, she had oatmeal (mush) every morning, and a vodka Gimlet before dinner
and finally every Saturday night she and her husband split 6 eggs and a pound of
bacon. One Christmas I was carving a large ham she came through the line and
asked for a piece of ham with a "big'ol slug of fat" on it.

Now THOSE are good genes to inherit!!! (Unlike my family who
rarely make it past their 60's!)

By "religiously" I hope you simply mean consistently. I'd hate to
think this oldster worshipped his fruit.

My advice is to re-enroll in a high school science class and try to pay
attentin this time around. And go dancing as often as you can, whether
you eat the fruit or not. -aem
