cj-a39 we all have our own unique set of needs according to our lifestyle. What's interesting to me is what you haven't said. I'm guessing you spend a lot of time doing mental gymnastics rather than physical exercise.

In 1974 Harvard published a voluntary self study of students' habits and then kept a running dialog tracking each of them until they died. I took a course on gerontology at UMaine that spent a semester on this study. Your response reminded me of how these students viewed themselves. On the whole it was subjective at best and not very scientific. One student complained of the stress in his difficult living arrangements. He had been forced to return to live in his parents' mansion. I'm not making light of his comments. He lives in a world I'm unfamiliar with.

Boston University and Northeastern have a joint ongoing study comprised only of centenarians from all walks of life, 100 yrs old or older is their only criteria. The results so far show little correlation with smoking, drinking and other questionable habits. We are who we are.

My Uncle Arthur never smoked or drank, was assiduous in his eating habits, maintained a gym membership and walked 5km three times a week. When he died at age 64 several people passing his coffin were heard to remark, "I've never seen Arthur looking so good."

As we are all now listening to the scientists and not the salesmen, if anyone is interested, NutricianFacts.org is a very interesting read. Proof is in the pudding, or rather lack of them!
