I'll bet they didn't worry too much about what they ate or what they were going to die from. Worry and stress along with emotional and spirtual sickness take a big toll in our lives.


Redd Foxx had a good quote on healthy people laying in hospitals dying of nothing.

So true, emotional well being helps in maintaining physical well being. Just as one can will themselves to live, they can will their life to end.

Questions in the survey asked about emotional well being in a fashion....many older adults do deal with depression from various causes.

Personally, I didn't find the survey to be particularly invasive privacy wise....questions asked are like questions physicians might ask their older patients. People did not have to respond, those that did might not have necessarily give accurate answers, either. Unless the response is overwhelming, I'm not sure the results will be conclusive. Time will tell.

I enjoy visiting the health center once a week to see my progress in my BMI. It's all free to all of us! Take advantage of this so we can all hope to live a long fulfilled healthy life.

Where is this health center? How much does it cost to go to the exercise centers? Do you pay by the month or the year?

No, not at all. As a matter of fact, my arteries are so clean and flexable that my normal resting blood pressure is 100/50. I just need to make sure I stay well hydrated during the night or else it may go too low. But I'm used to it.

May you continue to experience good health, live long and prosper...

Thanks, I wish you the same.
