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. |
Agreed on the first half but I don't mind kicking the bucket in my 70's/80's...as long as I gave it my all up until then. If I had it my way I could crush 2 Dr Oetkener pizza's with ranch and hot sauce every single day. I am not manipulating or bargaining myself because I don't.
