Yup—we old timers just laugh at all the fear porn.
If it was going to kill us it would have done so already....
Right. What is good for you today will kill you tomorrow, according to "science". I could list a dozen things the experts said will kill you and then said they're good for you, and then said bad.
Here's my lifestyle:
Bad part: I drink a pint of rum a day and have drinked most of my life; I smoke a half a pack of cigs a day - on and off; I get major stressed at what's happening to my Country; sometimes fight with the wife.
Good part: I don't eat much and then it's chicken salad with cheese on Triscuit crackers (good for regularity); take multi-vitamins with minerals; take Milk Thistle for the liver (prescribed in Europe for such); walk at least 20 minutes at a fast pace 3 times weekly; rarely have fast food with the exception of a burger now and then; play my drums; enjoy my wife and doggie; get yearly comprehensive blood panels; get Testosterone shot every 2 weeks; and take life and assholes with a large grain of salt. F'em if they can't take a joke.
Both my parents died in their mid-60's, I'm 72 and feeling great. I still have that morning thing and desire my wife. T-shots are the probably the biggest contributor to my energy. Do some research on how quickly it decreases and why so many middle-age men die. If you can afford it, do it.
