At age 57 my blood pressure was 140/90 and was diagnozed border line diabetic. What really scared me was chest pains after eating a good restaurant meal. I quit my job and began walking on golf course gradually increasing to 5 rounds of 18 every week. That was 30 miles of walking pushing the golf cart.

In a year’s time, my blood pressure was 130/85 and my A1C was normal. I did not take any vitamins or supplements or prescription drugs. Now at age 82, I continue to exercise on treadmill & light weight lifting and have zero health issues.

In summary, regular moderate exercise and keeping weight normal beats any other method to stay healthy. I can’t even remember last time I had a colod or flu or cough. Has to be more than 15 years ago. No chest pains, no high BP, sugar levels normal.

Your vitalness at your age continues to be an encouragement.

It’s a beautiful story with hope for all.
