Nope. It is no onions and no garlic and no carrots and no potatoes....

I have met a few Jains recently. They don't follow these dietary constraints. Besides, tying one's longevity strictly on what they eat is ridiculous without taking into account their genetic makeup, their physical activity, their environment etc.Hellsangel wrote:Nope.

probably they live longer because they are good in business ( most jains are gujjus and marwaris ) and therefore are rich .

Jains are very few in number, urban, affluent on average, with access to good quality medical facilities. The equivalent Hindu demographic will probably have as good a, if not better, health and longevity profile.

I bet, affluent Hindus are more prone to Sikular eating habits than Jains.
