[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I think it's a lifetime of clean living. You know how people say things catch up with you? Well, there's not much to catch up with me. I've never been drunk, never tanned, smoked, been a partier. I've always worn sunscreen and/or hats, mostly only drank water, flossed, moisturized, etc. I am 47 and last night someone said to me "we're about the same age - I just turned 38" and it was surprising to hear.

But your life doesn't sound fun! So there's the trade-off!
Serious question - does this make it worth it? You and the other lady who only drinks a "sip" of champagne or "shares a mixed drink with her husband"? Sounds so uptight and boring. I try to moderate my bad habits and eat well, exercise every day, and wear sunscreen, but a life without some fun sounds awful.[/quote]

Serious question - you have gotten to middle-age and cannot imagine a fun, well-lived life without alcohol, smoking, tanning, and "partying?"[/quote]

Sorry, should have clarified, but anyone with long lists of things they can't have takes an approach I don't want! The answer here is moderation, not some sort of lenten lifestyle. Now that I'm thinking about it, think I prefer to focus on the things I do: exercise daily, sleep at least 7-8 hours, drink tons of water, have a drink when I feel like it, get fresh air as much as possible, eat good, fresh foods, spend time with family - particularly doing active things that also use my brain!

Those are all great things, and I think if you fill life with good habits, you don't really form bad ones -- not you in particular but generally speaking.

Eating an extra slice of cake (for example) is not really the same as smoking though, so I would be curious to hear what does "moderate" look like to you?
