Having read about 20 different versions of the Bible, I have noticed that each version varies slightly from the other, some have minor differences while others vary drastically. That information is still in my head, but I admit that sometimes it can get a bit jumbled because there is just so much of it, and it's been over 20 years since I read those different versions.
There are various interpretations of the long lifespans in the Bible, some people think they are symbolic rather than literal, and some think that people had a different way of measuring time in those days.
Other theories propose that changes in the environment or genetic decline over time might have contributed to the decrease in lifespans, possibly explaining the discrepancy between the biblical accounts and modern human lifespans.
Of course, Psalm 90:10 in older translations typically states that the years of our life are "threescore years and ten", or "fourscore years" if by reason of strength. In modern versions like the NKJV, that translates to "The days of our lives are seventy years, and if by reason of strength they are eighty years."
It's a reminder of the limited time we have and the importance of living wisely in light of our mortality. As they say, "Every choice we make, and every breath we take, brings us one step closer to our eternal slumber." So I guess that as long as we choose to eat healthy and live a decent life, treating others as though they are family, and looking out for others, that we can live a long productive life.
Then again, nothing is guaranteed, I could walk out of here tomorrow and get hit by a bus, or get shot, and it's not like eating hot dogs is exactly healthy for us, we know that but we still do it. Honestly, almost everything we eat in a modern diet is processed and filled with chemicals that is most likely bringing us a day closer to the grave with each delicious bite.
