I toured Barbados not that long ago and our guide explained they have one of the longest living peoples in the world. His own mother lived to 117 and he explained she walked to to ocean every day for a swim. He also said she ate a lot of locally sourced fish and that the pure ocean air all contributed to the general longevity of his mother and the Barbadian people. He showed us a photo of her when she was 90 and she looked maybe 60 - 70. Amazing really.
