You will be shocked to hear how many old age diseases I am avoiding with daily exercise. At age 55 I would get chest pain after a good meal, irregular heart beats, was diagnosed borderline diabetic, had high blood pressure, chronic pain in right hip joint and right knee, fairing spells at work in air-conditioned office, panic attacks in in malls, and frequent sickness with flu & colds. I quit the good job and took up playing golf 5 days every week. That means walking 25-30 miles every week. After just 2 years of golf all my health problems disappeared. Why no doctor ever told me walking 25 miles every week will cure so many health problems? Why doctors make you dependent on prescriptions?
Good to hear how you beat all those ailments by just walking. I’ve had similar to yours, maybe a couple added. Like you I took up golf, but just about all courses require carts, and I got so frustrated at my frozen handicap 25, that I had a second heart attack. Now for the last 18 years I just walk 2-3 miles a day in one of several hiking parks and swim in our pool daily...36 feet in length and can do 4 lengths underwater in a single breath. For relaxation I drink a bottle of champagne daily almost religiously.
When the vaccines are proven safe and taken off the experimental status, I’ll take one. As to golf I tell people that my game is really improving, and I can now shoot my age! Pretty good huh? And that’s only on the front nine!
