Posting your age doesn't bother me and I think it's good to mention it because it gives Freepers hope that they too can have a long healthy life with the right habits.

I'm quite a way behind you but nearing 60. I also have never had a prescription. I take daily walks (try to do 5 miles a day), eat healthy and get a lot of fresh air. I do take vitamin C, D and zinc supplements but that's it.

Never had the COVID either, even though many around me are coming down with it.

Appreciate the advice you and others give on these threads.

If you are not already on a regular exercise program, nearing age 60 is perfect time to begin. I began playing many rounds of golf each week at age 60. I was retired already at 58.

Start out always easy. You are not preparing for olympics. Take a whole year to build up to 30 minutes 5 to 6 times every week. Regularity is the key, not how strenuous the exercise. After I reached age 75, I have to be very careful to not get injure anything. Healing is slower and slower with age. I gave up weight lifting (only 30 lb weights) because it would cause pain in back muscles. Main exercise for me now is treadmill with 1 lb wrist weights on each arm. I play my rhythmic music and swing arms around. I feel amazing! Best luck for your future health.
