Btw, I turn 60 this year,too. Three years ago I thought my life was over. Doctors solution was ever more prescribed drugs which just kept making things worse. I started doing intense research on diet, supplements etc. until now I am enjoying great health and looking forward to many good years ahead.
Changing my diet and exercise habits has made a big difference in my quality of life. My next goal is to get off Crestor, but my doctor prescribes it for the anti-inflammatory effects on the heart. The only side effect I've encountered so far is occasional lower back pain.
I see my doctor every 3-4 months...I'm holding off the next trip until after my birthday. I should be able to drop a few pounds over the next 2-3 weeks.
