In the hobby and life in general, or, are you a person that is just living  you life, and whatever happen , happens . If you do take care of yourself, what are some of the things you do, in terms of nutrition ,exercise, ets.
As for me, after learning that many  carcinogen chemicals  that are banned elsewhere are still being used here in our  food, hair and body  products,  I decided to  start  paying  close attention to what I buy and consumer. Maybe too late ,some may say ,but it's worth  a try in my opinion .
Apart from that ,I  also dont drink just any water ; I excercise daily and watch my sugar ,fats, and  PSA.
What do you do to try and stay healthy for as long as you can?

Back when my divorce started in 2012 I decided to start taking care of myself. I started going to see my doctor for annual physicals and do that every year. I always thought of myself as thin but he told me I should lose about 15 pounds. So I did and then some.

men's health declines after divorce because they no longer have a wife to look after them and make sure they eat well, etc.

I had such a stressful life that I used to think "it wouldn't be bad to spend some time in the hospital just to get away from this shit".

"If I knew I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself." -- Mickey Mantle

It's either snoring, farting, or a combination of both.

And except for my slightly higher resting pulse rate, I’m in better shape than when I was 40. In fact, it was when I hit that age that some life changes made me totally reassess my health. In the ensuing decades I’ve been extremely mindful of my eating, exercise and sleep. When I left college, my waist size was 32.  My waist size today is 32.  That is not an accident. That is a result of my desire to be able to do all the stuff I enjoy doing—hiking, skiing, cycling, traveling, occasionally shtupping—as long as I can.

I exercise now because it improves my quality of life now. I eat pretty good now because it makes me feel better now. I don’t fucking care about living longer. The country I live in is going to ass. I’m not really looking forward to the old man years.

I believe the ultimate goal in life is to watch your family grow & become a Grandparent. I want to be healthy for my children, and hopefully one day not to soon be blessed to be called Grandma. Family is everything. I am focused on creating a balance in life as a single Mom it’s hard to reserve me time. I do yoga twice a week, I swim laps, and have a home gym. I do HIIT training. I love my treadmill & the iFit advantage of running everywhere in the World with excellent trainers. Currently, I am embracing a plant based diet to cleanse my body & not drinking alcohol, or indulging in sweets. It’s almost Summertime & out here in Southern California you need to be beach body ready. Lol! I want to be that MILF & later in life GILF! With diet, exercise, mindfulness, sleep, and balance you can care for yourself. Love yourself more & self care is a must. Great post! Smile for me!

Seems like you leave nothing to be desired in the MILF department.

through the same thing you did.  When they were married, premature death due to poor health was a viable exit strategy,  so they did not think much about longevity, but divorce happened first, so as soon as they are single and living the good life, they want to squeeze every day they can out of what time they have left.  Congrats for finding that divorce is not always the "nuclear" option to end a marriage.  I think the reason so many married men cherish their hobby experiences is because they think they can't get out of a stale marriage for the usual list of reasons (money, kids, family, work, etc.), so many will live the healthy life that you do so at least their dick keeps working.  They are never going to run out of providers.  

take Geritol every day. Ok, not the last part. But those of you old enough to remember those ads get the idea how old I am.

Geritol was popular, not just with old folks, for at least one important reason: 12% alcohol! "Is Gramps hittin' the bottle again?" "Nah, he's just taking his Geritol tonic."  
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geritol
"Geritol was the subject of years of investigation starting in 1959 by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)."
.
"In popular culture: Geritol was often used in the 1960s as a punch line for a joke in sitcoms or in comedy routines; comic singer Allan Sherman parodied Geritol on his 1962 album My Son, the Folk Singer, singing "Yasha got a bottle of Geritol" to the tune of "Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho". ... "

.. I have made a few positive changes in my lifestyle.  

Mrfisher you're an inspiration. You got almost tweny years on me and still going strong.  

I always believe in the Health = Wealth idea. With good health anything  is possible. Bad health and you cannot enjoy  the weath.

You did not leave any stone unturned .I thing you covered all areas, and the ladies will, be appreciative of know ahead how many inches they will be getting. 😁

Since retiring for the second time, I decided to get fitter and healthier. I’ve been going to the gym every day and watching my dietary habits. I was feeling good about myself, for a 70 year old, able to keep it up and hobby good and hard. Then, just by accident,  got diagnosed with a inherited heart condition which would be fatal unless I get a pacemaker. So, I’m getting on the schedule for that.
My point is, do all the usual healthy stuff you want, but don’t neglect the testing for hidden health conditions.
There are things that can creep up on you unnoticed, which have nothing to do with how good you take care of yourself. Make sure your routine exams cover everything. It can be a lifesaver.

Been a borderline Type 2 Diabetic for a longtime.  Glucose is consistently 98-102 but MD feels no need for Insulin.
I lost 20 lbs after living on the Road all my Life
1. Work with Personal trainer3X per week
2. Cycle 50-60 miles per week,( This might cause PSA # to spike)
3. Play Pickleball 2-3X per week
4.  Last but not least, indulge in the hobby 1-2X per week
Could do better on my diet….Life is short….Enjoy Desserts

You are right !!

A1C is 5.8

a BOGO free special and you can treat a friend or family member to a pacemaker, too.  Just a suggestion.   Lol

Maybe pre-diabetic. Up to 5.7 is generally considered normal.

I retired at 38 and couldn't be happier.  No more work, no more stress.  My money is working now, not me.  I'm much healthier 25 years later than I was back then.  As The Byrds sang in "My Back Pages" (by Bob Dylan):
"Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now."

a friend pointed out to me that close family and friends are an even greater wealth than either.

Above may be the post of the year so far. 👍

I had a boss that said this, thought it was original from him... It did fit him though, he had that leather skin form years of smoking as a Korean eras fighter pilot, raspy voice...

scoed is also wealthy and he worked incredibly hard to achieve that status.  He used his wealth to get healthy.  He could afford to get the best insurance to help him overcome cancer.  

We all should take care of ourselves.

Its nice to retire at 38,and you should  consider yourself very fortunate. There are somethings  money  can't buy ,so be careful out there. I see people with money died from cancer all the time.

Everything you said is largely true. I have extent insurance. So do all.my employees who opt in. But some aren't as lucky. I had counseling and more and this cost money. I full admit my journey to better health was made easier do to my money. No denying it.

jelloman was also obese, over 400 lbs, and he managed to lose weight for health's sake.

.
As I recall, he didn't have a lot of wealth to go along with his quest for better health so he had to deal with baggy stretched out skin for a while until he could deal with that surgically. I hope he's doing well.

We all should..,unfortunately some people  do what they want to do, eat what they want to eat, use whatever they want, ..etc.

You gotta go where you wanna go
Do what you wanna do
With whoever you wanna do it with.

Oh my gosh, you did in the nail. I’m taking care a lot of my health, I eating well, and can you believe my cholesterol everything the doctor request the test, is higher and higher and higher, I believe in the first world, like this, the food are not good, to much pesticides and preservatives, this is crazy because now I’m aware of the organic food, is really organic??? Who know, I know I can sounds like those crazy people but I mean, I’m not old, and eating well, have some health conductions, like PCOS and anxiety disorder, so to has a healthy life is importan to me,  I can gain weight easily, and some food can affect my anxiety also. I went last year to Colombia, I was doing the same and I lost 10punds in one week, how I can not be worried about the food that we are consuming in here. So, just read the nutrition facts and try your best to watch well and do exercises if you want to has a quality life and live a little longer.

I agree: be aware of what you eat; make good decisions for yourself.

Organic foods may not be worth extra cost.

Your link doesn't work.

This is not going to stop me from telling women my dick is naturally organic and healthy for them to put in their mouth.  I realize that "the end justifies the means" philosophy is a denial of morals, but I will still exhibit some moral restraint in other areas, just not when it comes to sexual satisfaction from a good BBBJ.  Lol  

The studies do NOT say that organic or natural is worse than more highly processed or non-organic near equivalents. They say that, in their opinion, that the higher cost for organic or natural options isn't justified by providing any great benefit.  
.
Are you charging women more to put YOUR dick in their mouth than OTHERS charge them? They should be aware that they can get a MUCH better deal from others, e.g., me.  
.
I also wonder about your truth in advertising. For example, are you manscaped? THAT is hardly natural. A full bush is natural. Do you disclose that to the women BEFORE you charge them or is it a bait and switch surprise as you drop trou?  

with YOU today.  This is the first time I heard that I could be charging THEM.  I've been doing it wrong all of these years.  

I don't bother taking "good" care of myself for longevity.   Osteoarthritis is slowly degenerating all my joints.  Asbestos exposure has started taking my breath away.  I never married nor has any woman claimed i sired her child.  Most of my good friends live far away.  Parents and brother are long gone.  I have a few local friends whose company I enjoy but I tend to prefer being alone.  I do have some curiosity about the path of the human experience but I no longer have impact on its direction.  In short, I couldn't care less about longevity.  As for good, that is an opinion.  Compared to the age of the cosmos, our lives are extremely short no matter how long we live.  So live, let live and enjoy our short existence.

"Live fast, die young and leave a good looking corpse." Could be a good philosophy. But I think we both missed that boat

Good point Jensen.  I missed that boat.  My corpse won't make the "Autopsy Weekly" centerfold.  But I was trying to express a slightly different POV.  My philosophy of hedonism is geared toward my enjoyment of the present, not my quickening of my demise.   If I enjoy things that are beneficial (good?) for my health, it is because I enjoy doing so.

...boilers, and other parts of the ships you worked on.  If you haven't done so already, you should consult a lawyer.  Who knows, you may get a settlement which will allow you to afford $2,000/hour providers.

Nick Ramano!

Up in the Northeast, there were big MESOTHELIOMA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesothelioma advertisements all over the place for lawyers specializing in those class action lawsuits. There are other asbestos related diseases (asbestosis; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asbestosis ) and probably lawyers who are up on the latest class actions.

...that the cause of mesothelioma is almost always asbestos exposure.  Lung cancer can have several causes but for lawyers, mesothelioma cases are like Willy Wonka's golden ticket - rare and pay off big.
