Yep mental and physical activity is the key but at some point we all get it in the end. A million years from now it ain't gonna matter much if one person lived to be 90 and another lived to be 40. Jack London and Edgar Allan Poe both died at 40 and look how many people are still talking about them. Billions.

Ulvet, I am not unique. The athletic club that I go to has hundreds of men and women, most much older than me, that work out 3 to 5 days a week. There is a lady in my Pilates class who is in her 90's. She is still active and drives. Oh, there is another guy also in his 90's that owns several age group world records in swimming.
They key is that they are all active. Your body needs that
In a way it is kind of like having a mileage goal (there we go with that word again!) it's nice to try for a lot of years but frankly there is just no way of knowing anything about the future.
My way of looking at things, and I got a friend who is just the same, is that I just need to get something important done every day. I don't look at the metrics.
But I need to be mobile and agile and intellectually sharp to get those important things done. So whatever I can do along those lines...
