I quit soda about the same time I quit smoking.
It is rare that I go to fast food places.
I do have some arthritis in a couple fingers.
My Mother has it in several of hers. It appears
I may have inherited the gene.
The only sodium I get is what is already in food.
I use salt on the Slugs.. Makes em shrivel up fast..
Am I in perfect health? OH hell no.
I need to exercise more and lose some more weight.
I do feel better than I did when I smoked and dranked pop.

Bill -

You're really not old yet. Your physically active work surely did help you, and perhaps, you're one of the lucky ones with long life genes.

Genetics has a whole lot to do with life-long health and lifespan.

What were the life spans of your parents, grandparents, and aunts and uncles? That will tell you more than about any other facts about how long you'll be around. Particularly if any of them had heart disease or cancer.

Just in case you don't realize, I am not giving medical advice. It seems when you post on here somebody always wants to point out that they are an exception. MOST of the people on here need to drink lots of water. A few have heart or kidney trouble or on dialysis. They may have been told to ease off on the water. My doctor is concerned that my mc may hurt my bad back. I'm not going to get on here and tell anyone they shouldn't ride because I probably shouldn't. It's fine to tell what you do, but crap fire don't put a quote of my post and counter it with what your doctor says. People with health problems always have to modify their lifestyle/meds. Do you just get a kick out of arguing? Have you noticed that the group around the water cooler leaves when you walk up? There are some old heads on here I have been following and really trust their judgment. And I also love a good joke on me. But arguing is not productive.

The problem with most of us is that we eat more calories than we need- either get more exercise or eat less. My GG grandfather lived to be 104, my g grandfather lived to be 99. His diet was two slices of dry toast and an egg in the morning with a cup of sweet tea, soup and bread for lunch, with more sweet tea, a small amount of meat and mashed peas for supper with a glass of stout. He also had a shot of whiskey and 10 rollies a day. They were both active workers all their lives. My grandfather was a factory worker all his life, but overate for a lot of it and died at 87. My father was an office type (engineer) ate very healthy, and died at 86.
Studies show that active people who live on the edge of malnourishment have longer life spans than people who are well fed.

Why extended life simply to stay alive? When I stop enjoying life, I will quit.

I understand your thinking, Paladin, & Im pretty much in the same boat Re; FOOD,, Im GONNA eat... I just opsted that as a bit O info,, If someone can stay full & comfortable & restrict calories.. & not be unhappy cuz they dont eat ice cream & bread & things that have a High Caloric content PER Unit Volume, then maybe they can manage another few year of healthy living,, I doubt thats how Ill do it,

Went to Dr. today becuase of pain in the upper right quadrant, and he's sending me for an ultrasound of my gall bladder. I said to him "Isn't that for old people, I'm only 51?" He said "Im 51 also." I asked him how his gall bladder was, he said it was fine. WTF
