My life advice with this if you're over 50: get full physical checkups 2X a year with accompanying blood work. Get healthy if you are not. Healthy as in what your blood work tells you. Do cardio. I use a treadmill and work it into my morning routine. That was a pain in the @ss at 1st, but now I actually look forward to it. Stress will manifest itself both physically and emotionally. Try to reduce that in the areas you have control over.

Probably worst thing on your body is smoking, I've never ever smoked cigarettes seeing the struggle my father went through especially in his old age. Drink in moderation, I don't drink anymore on school nights ( weekdays) and learned to limit the number and volume on the weekends. I eat better, consume much less sugar and carbs than ever before.

I'm now on Trulicity to help me maintain my A1C which at last checkup was 5.9. I also started testosterone replacement therapy a few years back. That in itself made the biggest difference as fior whatever reason my body has a really low output of that inspire of being active and performing physical labor frequently.

We get one shot at this, one vessel - take care as best you can
