How can I "lengthen" the life of some people without falling into ASB?

Yeah, everything I've read about FDR's health leads me to think that it's already surprising enough that he managed to make it as long as he did. I didn't even think it was possible for someone to have a BP reading anywhere near 350/195.

Exceptional claims require evidence so...yeah. I didn't believe it at first either.

As has been pointed out, this was before there were consistent medical routes in treating hypertension, so it's not out of the question that someone with FDR's stressful lifestyle could rapidly worsen in that respect, but regardless, it's a bit horrifying to comprehend the level of organ damage that a BP that high would cause. One would have to go quite a few years back to find a POD that would keep FDR alive past 1945.

I remember in the first version of Irene's City of Water TL (Haven't had time to see the new version) Venetian chefs inadvertently lengthen the life of... I think Henry VIII, by varying up his diet, avoiding his gout by a few years.
 
I had forgotten to mention the cases where the "cause" of death of a person is unknown (José María Calderón) or it is not known in which year he died (María Dolores Vedruna).
