Exactly. It’s a huge effort to take care of your health the way you need to live well for your whole life. But if you focus on what you want to be able to do at 90 - play with grandkids, hike, swim, ski, walk your active dog - then you can work backwards from there and figure out what you need to do to get there. Which is basically cardio, weights, good food, strong relationships.

We don’t have to age the way our parents are. That’s a totally different model of aging and we know better now.[/quote]

Right. It's that easy.  And then you can avoid dementia and other chronic diseases!  Because every generation before us just wasn't doing it right- but we know better! [/quote]

Agree that PP is incredibly naive. I am all for "cardio, weights, good food, strong relationships." But if you think that will necessarily stop you getting dementia or having a stroke or anything else, you are very much mistaken. There is a daily lottery going on, and not a good one.[/quote]

My dad just turned 80. Overall he is doing great, rides his bike, swims, plays pickle ball. His brother is 77 and is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s. Brother was also always active: running, golf etc. it’s just luck. [/quote]
