Yes I believe that vegetables make us grow longer. These vegetables make us healthier than eating meat.

@tech40 Nutrients that we get from vegetables protect our body from diseases and infections. Most vegetables are naturally low in fat and calories Dietary fiber from vegetables, helps reduce blood cholesterol levels and may lower risk of heart disease These are some of the benefits that we can get from vegetables.

I think your family genes also has something to do with how long you live along with eating healthy.

@enlightenedpsych2 Oh so if your old parents still alive and reached 100+ there's chances that you're going to reach 100+ also?

I guess its true but it should be fruits and vegetable because their plants and their are healthy. They live longer too because they manage stress well.

I believe there are combination of factors that helps people to live longer. For example environment in which they lived matters. A pollution free env obviously helps in strengthening your immunity systems and thus helps to live longer. At the same overall lifestyle - active vs passive lifestyle. Also gene has an influence I believe.
