Reflect on your past, consider the present and decide for your future.
Will be 69 in July
.....Diet -- decades of heart healthy and cancer preventing eating fish, feathers, very little meat, VEGGIES, fruits, nuts & seeds, minimal alcohol, NEVER SMOKED, lots of spices
.....Exercise -- ride 2 to 3 times per week (9,000+ miles last year- just bicycled 141 miles on Tuesday), walk (can't jog/run due to bad knees) up to marathon distances, swim (max 2.4 miles Ironman event)
.....Even being PRO-HEALTHY, in 2015 diagnosed with very aggressive PCa (prostate cancer) like Dr. Sheehan. Been treated, came back, treated again, expect more recurrences = expect death well before wife's.
.....Recommendation --- take control, do your utmost to remain healthy, live in the moment hoping for a great future but prepare for the worse
Now get out ---
RIDE and HAVE FUN!!!
