my incentive for being much better than the average numbers is a brother who died of heart problems at age 39 and my father at age 54.
I am currently 77. Everything in moderation. Eat ONLY heart healthy. Have benn walking 2-3 miles per day for over 30 years at 3-4 miles per hour.
When all this is done day in and day out there is no sacrifice required. It becomes ones lifestyle and habits. To eat other wise is almost impossible for me to do....except indulging my sweet tooth on ocassion. To not exercise for more than a day or two is almost impossible to do.
The incentive is enormous and the lifestyle is easy to live with....really.
I am ashamed of the fat American image we have earned in this country......among some other recent negative images.
