My dad is 65. He’s 200 lbs and about 5′4. He has a little belly. He basically sits in front of the TV the whole day, and has a high blood pressure. He drinks like once every two weeks, and nothing more than beer (usually wine, though). He eats quite a bit of rice and roti (Indian flat bread), and doesn’t have much spicy food (spicy meaning hot, he eats food with various spices and herbs). He eats quite a bit, and is always looking for a snack. Every 20-30 minutes, we find him with another snacks such as nuts and fruit (usually healthy stuff). He has gout (high uric acid). Everything else in his body in in normal range such as sugar, cholesterol, and other such stuff. His blood pressure gets slightly higher on occasion, and he can feel it. He knows when his blood pressure is high, and keeps checking it regularly. He hasn’t had any major health problems, as long as I can remember. He’s not very active, but one thing does scare me. He can sleep at any time. Like sometimes we walk in the living room, and see him sleeping, and we wake him up, and in two minutes, he’s sleeping again. He always denies that he’s sleeping, but he clearly is. He also snores quite heavily, but that has toned down a bit in the past few weeks. We always keeps worrying a lot, and never seems to be relaxed. HIs family has a record of high blood pressure, and his father ultimately dies of a heart attack.

My mother is 55. She’s 190 lbs and about 5′1. She’s clearly overweight. Her mother recently passed away from a diabetes related complication. My mother said that she had high sugar until I was born, and then it went away. She has similar eating habits like my father. Everything with her is normal, but has a borderline sugar and triglycerides. She loves sweets, but has cut back quite a bit lately. She is optimistic but still feels helpless sometimes. She ponders in deep thoughts for a while then emerges with high spirits. She has quite an active social life with like 1 party a week (at least). She has some problems sleeping sometimes, but she makes up for it by having afternoon naps. She’s a stay at home mom who keeps cooking and cleaning, so she’s busy all the time, but she really hates the job.

What are the chances of my parents living to be old, and how can I increase their chances? I want them to live long, so please be serious.
