I'm a big fan of diet and exercise to maintain optimal health. I have had some hiccups along the way but every visit now amounts to an annual check up. I think check ups are incredibly important. I found out thst my bone density needed work so I take the low dose med to prevent further damage and added weights to tell my bones they need to make new tissue. Best wishes on your journey. I would suggest looking into milled flax seed and chia seeds. They help with satiety while adding protein and array of health benefits. I have a tablespoon each morning of them. I soak my chia seeds over night. The flax seed is tasty in 4 Oz. Of water. I just drink them both.

I suppose we are living longer and are expected to do the same things that we did years earlier. The main problem for many is falling and breaking a bone and seeing a Doctor.
I wear hip pads hoping that a fall will be more pleasant, not that I wish to try that theory.
It is good that you get brill results/

Good Afternoon
BearcatMike, I'm so glad you had good reports from the doctors. I'm so glad you are taking care of your health. So far this past year, I've had my cataracts fixed, my teeth fixed, and I've got hearing aids. It's all too much for me, but I'm glad I had everything fixed so that I can see well, hear well, and eat and not be in pain. Oh, and I've been to the foot doctor to remove a callous. I've seen enough doctors for at least a while, but I will say they were all very nice. I hope your wife is doing well. I hope you have a good day.

Congratulations. A good report from the doctor is always a blessing once the middle age target has been hit. My hubby is currently going through the big man challenge. I am going through the high blood pressure rollercoaster. Health issues are not fun, but they are hard to handle once you hit a certain decade. Exercise and diet are key. Keep up the good work!
