100 years? God forbid.

I'm doing the bare minimum to ensure I wake up each morning.

Hard work might pay off in time but laziness always pays off right now.

Yes Id say so. Lubricated and oiled regularly with an occasional service. Couple of dings but still running smoothly

Despite what I'm going through right now which is enough to drive anyone over the edge, I'm trying to look after myself as best I can, eating properly, working out again, keeping my place clean and tidy so my immediate environment doesn't feel depressing.

I have a whole month of seating on the edge of my seat waiting for the outcome that could either make or break me, it feels like purgatory. I've been through a lot in the last several months, but I'm going to keep pushing forward through this torrent of fear and anxiety, with my eyes locked on the horizon for may be coming my way. My body needs to be prepared whatever the outcome may be

I do my best , it can be hard with a stressful week and personal responsibilities on top.

I do walk a lot though and love a bit of meditation for relaxation.

I'm rubbish at looking after myself as I'm usually so busy running around looking after other people.

However I did have a much needed 'me' day last Friday which restored some balance.

Tea, walks, listen to the tunes, bit of the old meditation AUM AUM.

Eat well.

Don't get dragged into people's games.

Generally that stuff works.

No.

Because I don't need it or want it for a hundred years. I won't have it for a hundred years.

What I am doing though?

Living like I want to be alive.

Whether that's getting sweaty at the gym to the point a rather attractive man comments on the little line of sweat running down my collarbone (why yes, I'm rather proud that I do have them now).

Or not smoking when I'm stressed, worried or hormonal.

Doing yoga, not because it will help me with other things but because it quiets my often chaotic mind.

Taking time to do little things that bring me joy; whether that's a walk with loved ones rather than staying in. Reading because mental wellbeing is just as important as physical. Speaking to loved ones. Friends. Cooking meals from scratch, celebrating my changing body.

A few weeks ago I was worried I wouldn't see half a century, let alone a full one.

So, no. Not a hundred years. I'm enjoying taking care of my body like I want to live, in every sense.

Not in the slightest if I listen to other people about my eating habits. I do what I can/ what I want to do that makes me happy. I don't want to be alive for 100 years either.

I thought I was but obviously not! 10 days ago I found out, in no uncertain terms, that I had a duodenal ulcer. Said ulcer perforated and required emergency surgery and a week in hospital. Luckily I’d taken time off to get myself physically and mentally fit after a stressful few years. And then this hits ha ha It may have set me back slightly but I’m trying to stay positive because I’m gonna been in fine form this summer for meets! Fingers crossed

Below the knees nope. Above the knees I’m doing great.

The inflammation I have in my knees is really painful at times.

And my shins and ankles are sadly too far gone from too many Ops.

But doing what I can.

I think it’s a mindset , if you treat something like you want it last that long , you make very different daily choices.

Theres a difference between our ‘lifespan’ and our ‘health-span’

Not all that North of North London

I drank to excess, did other things, partied hard from my teens until my early 40s. I genuinely believe the only reason I'm still alive is because I always exercised. I'm amazed my liver survived, I could easily have irreparably damaged it.

So now I definitely look after myself, o exercise almost daily, dont drink alcohol, rareky drink caffeine, dont eat too much crap... I don't expect to live anywhere close to 100 but I di believe there has to be a payback for my years of self abuse and I'm doing all I cam to limit that

Not always if other aspects were good you could be improving your health as you age …avoiding things like stress, anxiety , insecurity and anger , maintaining a strong inner circle of relationships etc can drastically improve your metabolic profile and reduce age-related inflammation and diseases more so in some cases than ‘so called’ healthy eating and exercise which can in fact harm you.

Think of it as three equal prongs - metal well-being, physical / nutritional habits and lastly genes - we can fully control two thirds.

So if you can’t drag your ass to the gym, give up drinking or smoking, then a Mediterranean diet and 3 very good friends may still be enough to live a king healthy life

Not really no. Am however, looking at keeping my mind healthy, be bog all use if my body is in tip top condition but won't be allowed out because my mind has gone. That scares me a lot more than having a dodgy hip or what have you.

Stress and anxiety I'm on board with. Do you have any evidence for the others, especially the idea that having a "strong inner circle of relationships" has any impact on metabolic health? There's a fair bit of evidence that never getting married (and also being childless) and living alone is linked with increased happiness, healthiness and also longevity in women.
