That's it. No family history of cancer, heart disease, or diabetes. Everyone in my family lives well into their 90s if they take care of themselves.
I exercise a lot: gym once a week at least, and maintaining 20 acres of property is exercise all by itself. Excellent blood pressure, low cholesterol numbers.
Don't like taking pills. Don't even take aspirin unless I have a high fever.
You are lucky.... here's my little bio...
Age: 24
Fam History: Cancer, High Cholestrol, Diabetes, Dyslexia, and usual Male life expectancy of 60's.
Exercise: In the army, do it everyday.
Hate taking pills, but sometimes have to (naproxen). Been exposed to so many IED's that my spinal column shoots pure pain shots from the C1 Vertebra all the way to Cocyx4 Vertebra. Middle ear damage to the extreme so that my eustation tubes (tubes that vetelate the middle ear from the throat) are scarred. Perfect hearing though, just have a constant everchanging pitch ringing when affected with sinusitis (so 11 months out of the year, annoying ringing sound). Vision was 20/25 before the army, now 20/15 both eyes. Have chemical dependency on adreanline (you know the shakes after something really fun/scary) but it's dying down... you'd be amazed what a rush it is to fix someone on the ER table, or get hit by an IED. I have decent blood pressure but to ensure my salt intake is lowered killed all pork product intake. Both ankles have so much 'looseness' it sounds like firecrackers on the 4th of july, same with knees, fingers, and hips, arms. Amazing how combat boots help out that situation (hence why I'm getting out, but keeping the boots on). For the Cancer, errrm yeah got to stop that wonderful smoking (espically them newports), also the prostate thing. Been working on that.... there are a few dark katsups with a chemical (think it's calle liposine, don't quote me) but I'm inhaling that dark kastups, and another story (or white lie) from those mags we read.... orgasams help when your in the 20's.... yeah it's a great excuse ain't it?. For my Lexdyslia..... yeah got that one, but it's extremely minor. Diabetes.... holy crap does that one scare the bageebers even out of me. Just packed on 30 lbs since redeploying from iraq (went back to 180) and yeah diet control has kicked in for me. Stress is another thing huge in my life.... holy crap, just yesterday someone noticed my tailpipe was busted off the welds on the undercarrage of my truck.... seems like everyday another straw is added to this camel's back.... can't wait till i totally flip out, but I'm usually very mellow (unless being shot at or blown up... IED's), unlike the usless banter I post here from time to time.
Well, can't wait for 25, coming pretty soon!
