(Prevention.com) -- Will you be playing tennis on your 85th birthday or struggling to get out of a chair at 60? Should you expect your energy and se-x drive to fizzle by age 45, or will you hit middle age with body and mind in their prime? Do anti-aging foods exist?

 

While scientists once thought the secret to longevity was to choose healthy grandparents who lived to a ripe old age (not an easy proposition!), we now have the evidence to prove that it's not all in your genes.
