[quote=Anonymous]My mom is in her 90s and still mostly mobile (uses a cane or walker for distances)/—never exercised but is a total worker bee and I wax surprised she’s still getting like 2K steps a day just puttering around her house tidying up.

My siivljmgw in their 70s are very active.  They eat very well and are good cooks that cook most meals at home — lots of veggie and lean proteins and fish.  They are also pretty healthy sophisticated so stay on top of things like getting statins and taking care of arthritis as it arises.  One of them told me he walks about 18K steps per day.  They do all drink wine daily which I guess is one thing that isn’t recommended.  These siblings are all pretty naturally thin.  I have one other sibling that inherited a different set of genes and I think it’s gojng to be much harder for her to stay active as she ages — her lifestyle choices are all basically the same but she’s always been overweight and her joints are very stressed as a result.    I’m not sure why she’s not on GLP—I’ve wanted to ask but I don’t want to make her feel bad about herself so don’t.  She just retired so I’m hoping she can now figure something out. [/quote]
