I’m going on 68 and in good health. But my family has a history of heart disease so I’ll continue. If it only serves as a placebo, so what.
Good. As I mentioned, both parents lived to around 90 and died within 6 months of each other. Mother had hypertension but died of congestive heart failure, peacefully in her morning nap. Father had heart disease / blockage and low blood pressure — he had a hemorrhagic stroke which he lived past to over 90. My point being, the best strategy is unknown but damaging behavior is best avoided.
