Answers:
I'm 60 and in excellent health--had a physical last week, in fact!. Literally no health problems!. I think it's a combination of a lot of factors!. I had 16 blood aunts and uncles and no cancer or heart disease, so genetics must by a factor!. I have a lot of diabetes in the family, so I don't do alcohol or sugar (alcohol's pure sugar)!. I walk the freeloaders (the dogs) a hour every morning and generally stay active!. I am NOT a health nut, however!. If I want a dessert after dinner, I have it!. I drink coffee and don't deprive myself of carbs or some fats!. In all honesty, if I liked alcohol more I'd drink it!. If I have a secret, it's the ability to relax despite having a high stress job!. I meditate at least 30 minutes a day and my biggest secret is just not rushing!. If I have to be somewhere and it takes 30 minutes, I give myself 35-40 so I'm not stressed by traffic or a flat tire!. And if I can't change a situation, I just accept it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I love it when people in my profession make these sweeping generalizations!. I am 57 and have no chronic diseases and am in pretty much excellent health!. I attribute it mainly to good genes and somewhat to common sense in nutrition and lifestyle!. I think beer may have something to do with it as well :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am still 49 and no I am not healthy!Www@Answer-Health@Com
