Question for the senior members.

[walker]

Is it better to enjoy the younger years more and eat whatever you want while you can or take better care of yourself early in attempt to have better health once your 50 and up? Im in shape and in physical good health in my 30's but eat alot of greasy foods and junk.
Seriously, experience would be nice.

Ya ever hear that saying ..if i would have known i would live this long...its true

i love being 16 and eating anything i want.my dad says im going to regret it but i dont listen.

Being old (69) hurts like a sumbich. Add out of shape after the 69.
My mind wasn't sure about retiring but my body sure as hell was, so I did.
It is NO fun feeling like a burden to everyone.
Take care of you now. IMHO

 

[gl89aw]

the old saying, "getting old ain't for sissies is definitely true, take care of yourself or regret it later.

 

[hipshot]

Take care of yourself now. !!

I wish I was in better health myself. If I had my druthers I'd be in perfect health then just kill over dead when it was my time.
I do not subscribe to the prolong life at all costs idea. Lets say you can extend your life by ten years. Do you get that ten years now in your young healthy body? No, you will get that ten years of extra life tacked on to the end when your body hurts every morning. You will get ten years in a nursing home or a nice extended care facility if your lucky.

I'm all for staying healthy because it does make life easier and more fun. But as for extending your natural life no thanks. Unless I can have those extra years in the body I had in mid life.

I know plenty of 30 something's that that are thin and appear to be in good shape but couldn't jog a mile without falling over gasping for air. If you think you can eat whatever you like, greasy, salty foods and all when at a you age with no adverse affect when older you have another thing comin'.

Take care of yourself. You'll get old and fat before you know it.

Yep. I know an otherwise fit lady who had a pretty serious gallbladder attack in her 20s from eating pretty much nothing but pizza.
