[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or.....maybe some of us can adopt a different approach and start getting in shape for the long slog towards eventual death. And by "in shape" I mean losing any extra weight that is contributing to health problems (diabetes, bp, heart conditions, etc.), taking up serious strength training at least 2x a week, drinking less (there is no "safe" level of drinking), and eating more protein to keep from losing muscle mass as we age. Also, make sure you're engaging your mind as you age. I'm in my early 60s and that's what I'm trying to do. It's not easy, but I don't see any alternative other than sitting on my ass and doing nothing--which is what most of our parents have done (not blaming them, but we now have more information about what it takes to age better).

I agree we can do more to take care of ourselves. But this seems to ignore we all will die someday. To want to have an option than a long, drawn out process is reasonable for a person to want for themselves. I just wonder how we go about it and don't want to wait too long to learn. [/quote]
