“But reason I am in good health at age 85 is I never miss daily aerobic exercise for 25 minutes.”
Yes, that’s very important. I’m. 88 and in very good health, My MD expects me to live to 100. Was doing a 14-minute mile on he treadmill 5 days a week before the idiot governor closed the gyms for “covid”. Then I fell and broke a knee, couldn’t do that, getting back into the exercise routine is taking a lot of time.
And I do eat salmon three times a week. Alaskan salmon only, the waters are clean there. All Atlantic salmon is farmed, has all kinds of problems. Checkers at Trader Joe and Safeway are smart about that too. I do eat chicken , but not pork, because pigs have higher IQs than dogs and I’m not eating a cocker spaniel either.
Hi old-timers, 86 here, and thriving. Doctor asked what exercise I get. Said I live in a 4 story house with 9 and 10 foot ceilings. My partner’s room is on the 4th floor, my room and the bath on the third floor, kitchen and laundry in the basement. Main entrance 1sr floor. Mostly I am going up and down stairs all day. I started using supplements over 50 years ago, adding new ones as minor health issues arose, and with Google checking: “nutrition and supplements for xxxxxx health issue” My most recent search was for supplements to help cataracts. This after my doctor said I would need surgery soon. I found 5 supplements I was not taking, and after 3 years of adding them, my eyes are 75% better. During grass growing season, I go to my beach cottage once a month for a week to cut the fairly large lawn with an older gas mower, the walk behind and push through thick grass kind. Fresh air, sunshine, and exercise.
For general health, check out Astaxanthin. I was taking it for my eyes, but when loved ones got cancer I discovered it made cancer cells die young, and normal cells live older. My friend took me with her when she had a consult with an oncologist before starting chemo. She wanted to know if it would be good to take Astaxanthin. Oncologist had never heard of it. My friend has been doing a lot of on line research and she says a lot of work is being done studying Astaxanthin for several different health issues.
One more note, it helps I have a sweetheart on the 4th floor. Here’s to happy longevity.
Don’t let go of that exercise in some form or other. I am guessing you will make it to 100 age and may be much more.
