There is hope for a long and health life if the boozers and chain smokers are born in Abkhazian where the vast majority of the people living in the Russian village live well past 100 years old.

Most of village people smoke a couple packs of cigarette a day, drink a few glasses of wine and enjoy their share of vodka but frown on getting drunk and excessive drinking.

In 1975 Morley Shaffer went to this secluded village and did a short documentary on their lifestyle and their amazing long lives.

This video is well worth watching just for the “amazement value” of the piece to see people well over their 100th year daily riding horses, chopping wood, working in the field and yes the men making babies.

It is a mystery what exactly they attribute their longevity to but the consensus is, a stress free life, living away from the fast pace of city life and mostly genetics.
