BMI indicator says I have a 40% less chance of getting caner because of my muscles, but that I have a 20% higher chance of having a massive coronary.
Kicker is, I would live to 1000 if I could. 10,000. There is just so much of know and do out there. Most of us only ever scratch the surface of what we are truly capable of.
Well, all statistics are aggregates.
My dad died of liver cancer. My mother died of complications of heart surgery. A brother died of pancreatic cancer. A sister has Alzheimer's. Another has emphysema.
I'm not about to give up on myself, just because a few of my ancestors had things that couldn't be cured, or they weren't “diagnosed,” or there was no name for what they had.
I'm 65. I can still lift 50# above my head, when I need to; I can load a truck, unload it and put the load where it belongs, drive where I need/want to go as long as my truck holds out, and there is no way I intend to die any time in the next 20 or 30 years.
My kids will just have to live with my longevity!
