I'm not sure what you mean by "bargaining" and "manipulating". But I can tell you that the lifestyle changes I made were not so that I'd have a few extra days at the end, but so that the days between now and the end would be better. That's what I never got about Dennis Leary's justification for his smoking. "Meh, so I die a few years earlier… those are the years that suck anyway." Yeah, well, I know a few people in their 70s that are going very, very strong. Actually, the guy at the pool who is 92 swims about as fast as I do (though that's more of a statement about how poorly I swim than anything else
). You can live longer AND BETTER if you make the right choices now.
