Family genetics is something you can't fight. Sure if you take good care of yourself: eat right (avoid fast food & processed foods) & exercise that will buy you some time, but the harsh reality is we are all going to DIE some day. :P

Living a good clean healthy life doesn't mean you are going to live a long time. My Mom made it to just 61. My Dad's youngest brother died when he was just 44. My grandfather (Dad's side) had asthma and I never would have thought he would have lived to his mid 70s.

I hate to admit I have fished ZERO times this year. NOT once freshwater and there is a reservoir less than a mile from me. What I have been doing?! Working my job, trying to keep my teenage daughter from turning all my hair white & crunch through my divorce (2 yrs in the process..... MA really BITES period).

Hanging out w/ some friends when they have time to get together and just trying to make ends meet. I go out walking/hiking just to get some exercise. I use to think walking is a joke and it doesn't work - WRONG: walking is easy, low impact and it does work. LOL, I'm in better shape now that I have been in the last 15 yrs!! Nothing comes easy as you get older - get off your butts and move around before you body collapses on you.

Sorry to hear of folks physical woes. Just a part of aging. FIX your diet now before it is too late, get off of pills & get out and walk! Peace to all.
