Just eat & live healthy and stay active, I say.

Good for you!
However, I am very close to a lady who eats waaay better than me, lives a very clean life and works in her garden (mowing, weeding, hauling brush) for hours every day between making sandwiches.
But, one hip was replaced, second one is scheduled. One knee needs replacement but is second priority behind the hip, is a cancer survivor (status post chemo, partial colectomy) and thumb fusion. Other than some kind of thyroid problem she is metabolically excellent. BP, cholesterol, weight are dead center normal.
She’d be a shriveled up wheelchair-bound heap of depression but more likely dead without health insurance.
