You know,,,, for most of us when we were young, a healthy life was a gift that we took for granted. As we get older many of us have some kind of problems. When we get really old and want to retain our independence and our old lifestyle we have to suck it up and work hard to keep it going. Eating right and exercise. Health isn't free for most of us and a few have good genes where you luck your way through old age. 80 can be 50 if you plan ahead.
