I had blood work recently. Normal sugar and cholesterol levels.
I come from a family of long livers. Great grandma was 106. Maternal grandfather painted the exterior of his house when he was 93 and he applied 2 coats(central Indiana in August). Both grandmas lived healthy lives till they were in their mid 90s.
I was born premature and I did read recently there is a link (especially for those with reduced lung capacity which describes me).
I don’t smoke, never have. I don’t drink, never have.
I hardly use salt but I am addicted to sugar. I don’t drink as much liquids as I should. I’ve had mild chest pains most of my life and will often take aspirin.
My dad died of congestive heart disease at 74. He was addicted to salt and told me not to be when he was on his deathbed. Mom is 81 and doing great.
Thank you for your replies which I realize is no replacement for medical advice.
