In reading this thread....I recall a story (think it was in the late 80's or early 90's) where this guy collapsed with a heart attack (I think he was running). This was a man (I wish I could remember his name) who was nationally known due to a book he had written on diet/exercise. He was an avid runner and looked the picture of health. I'm thinking at time of death he was in his late 40's---he wasn't "old". It was found he had severe cardiac disease and was a ticking time bomb even though on the outside he looked to be the epitomy of health.
I think diet/exercise is important, don't get me wrong! But doesn't genetics play a part in our bodies? I know of folks in my own family who are adhering to all of this and still their bodies are "falling apart" and their general health is declining.
My belief is to use common sense and moderation in everything!
