Growing old and reaching the age of 100 is an incredible milestone, and it's rare to see someone living so long while remaining active and healthy. Experts say genetics play a big role in longevity, and some families have members who live into their 90s or even 100, suggesting that good genes run in the family. In addition to genetics, a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and physical activity, can also contribute to a long life.
