…and add that drinking water, good sleep, and conscious breathing are the best free medicines.

Awake and reading this post and it's almost 1 a.m. Better shut down.

Good night, LMS!

Too late for me. I may as well keep smoking, drinking and taking opioids.

and tho I rarely drink, I get much less exercise than I should. Used to walk much more.

Knowing these facts is one thing, changing your habits and lifestyle is another. Most do know the advantages but continue to practice poor choices. Practicing self control is not one of Americans' strong points. People are lazy and they eat way too much. Do the math. The current BS from the media is encouraging this poor behavior by crying, "Don't fat shame people". How about, "Don't eat so much and move more". It is easier to cry "fat shame" than it is to do anything constructive and healthy. I have said this before and people get really pissed off, I think I hit a nerve. Look at Americans in general from the 70s. There is a stark contrast in weight. This puts a strain on our healthcare and drives insurance prices up for everyone. No one wins.

Many overweight people eat perfectly healthy and exercise. And even if they don’t, it’s their choice and fat shaming is inexcusable. Do better, please.

I’m a goner.

Anything over eighteen hours is beneficial.

lol - dear young people... it's called common sense

The current octogenarians are the lucky ones. Bottoms up, smoke 'em while you got 'em. This planet's done with our bullshit.
