[LMAO]

I am in my mid 50's. I wouldn't call my self a health nut, but I have lived a healthy lifestyle for the last several decades. I have worked out with weights since 16 and am active. When I was in my mid 20's, I upped my produce intake. I have also eaten a balanced diet since then

My MD praises my health. Many people have told me I don't look like a man in his 50's. I feel great and take no meds. The only thing that given my age away in recent years is my graying hair. I believe many issues with aging are lifestyle related.  Like the article said, we all will age but choices one makes when young can minimize them.

I decided long ago after watching one grandfather die in his 50's and another die at 65 but spending years before that in and out of the hospital with various health issues that I would follow a healthier path.

That doesn't mean I don't enjoy pizza and beer. Everything in moderation. Even exercise
