Sorry, you got it wrong. Living alone and being lonely are two different things. You made an assumption based on YOUR feelings and then proceeded to believe your assumption, as if I said I was lonely. To the contrairy, I have said that I cherish my solitude. I do whatever I want to, whenever I want to. I eat what I want to when I want to. You get the idea.
As a comedian once said, "I don't have to get permission to open a window".

It is even stated that happily married people are more healthy. I think we kind of watch out for each other.

More healthy than who? Perhaps more healthy than unhappily married people? I wouldn't be afraid to compare my health with anyone, married or unmarried.

Do you see a medical doctor every six month for tests on cholesterol and sugar and thyroid?
|
You shouldn't try to judge others based on your regimen. If you have a condition, and your doctor asks you to get checked every 6 months, then perhaps it's called for. When I get a yearly check up, they schedule me for the following year.

Has a medical doctor ever told you that you need any prescription medication?
|
No. I guess good health is so rare at my age (71) that people think I must be playing tricks on them.

I have a friend who claims to take no medicine but it isn't because her doctor hasn't prescribed it. She just ignores his advice.
|
It must be cholesterol medication. I've known a few like your friend. My diet is about 99% vegan so I don't need medication to lower my cholesterol. It's well within normal range. And, as I have said before, my blood pressure (taken at my doctors office) is very consistent at 100/50 (without medication).

I hope I have not offended you by these questions.

No, I'm not offended.
