I always think about George Burns. Cigar in one hand, whiskey in the other, made it to 100 while still holding the two items.
@retiredtraveler He was terrific!
@retiredtraveler I know, right?
Who is to say I won't be run over by a bus tomorrow. Meanwhile, though, since every disease in my family tree falls under the lifestyle variety, I'm on a mission to try to avoid getting any of those. Sure doesn't mean I won't get some dread disease and die a horrible death, but it is what I can do, so I do do. 
Besides, it keeps me off the streets. So there's that.
As stated your mileage may vary.

A good demonstration of what we say all the time around here: there is no one path to your optimum health. No one size fits all.
