Well I only want to live to 85yo so I figure arm lifting a 15oz (Aust. Beer Schooner) class every few minutes will get me there!

I love that word " can " instead of will , as an ex gymnast , and workaholic , fitness freak , it didn't stop the heart attacks , or the fck.d lungs ,along with the arthritis resulting so far in knee surgery , like the guy who so called invented the jogging craze , ask him , ho sorry you cant he died at a young age ,

Did you ever think that STRESS due to being a workaholic could be ONE of many reasons to your Heart Attacks??And usually that means also that you didn't get enough of quality sleep..I think it's much about,again,diet..not checking your health regarding High blood pressure, high blood cholesterol..-Yes we can feel and look good on the outside BUT what's going on under the "hood",those things only shows up when you have once or twice a year FULL bloodtests done..and if you like me (wasme not anymore)we just carry on until the body remind us how important DIET and some light/moderate exercise can help us to live a life mostly away from expensive hospital bills and a ton of med's.

Once again,spen eatleast ONCE a year 2500Bath on a full blod panel like this:

*Complete Blood Count (CBC)
*Basic metabolic panel (basic electrolyte panel)
*Comprehensive metabolic panel
*Lipid (cholesterol) panel.
* Glycated hemoglobin (Hemoglobin A1C)...very important.
*And Men Testosterone Test..VERY IMPORTANT IS THE FREE TEST LEVEL

If you do ALL the above you together with your Doc can give you time to alter some of the maybe bad results of your bloodwork BEFORE it's to late.What's 2500Bath worth to you?Do you care at all?

End of my heatlth tip rant for today ...PS:Two of my Swedish friends have had strokes just because they did not take care of two main things,DIET and Blood testing.DS

Good points well made Alfie. You wouldn't expect a car engine to run forever without a service and oil change, would you? Since a complete blood transfusion every 10,000 miles isn't an option, get into the annual blood work routine, track the results and take corresponding action.

My industry medicals were every 4-years but once I tripped the magic 60, some became every two years while one regulator insists on an annual tire kick. No costs to me as clients pay for these but the one I had last week at Udon General was self-funded for my own peace of mind ahead of an offical "MOT" on Monday in Kuala Lumpur.

Yep well aware of the stress , as after the troubles ( sounds slightly irish that ) i struggled dealing with stress after that , bringing on the unstable angina , workaholic much of the time on nights ,So lack of sleep yep also knew that , yep contributing to the attacks , never had high blood pressure , or high cholesterol , back in 2001 46 yo , they put me on statins with the words ,"we wouldn't medicate these it's only because you've had a heart attack .
Here they put me on two set of statins ,( dont forget they halved the limit on cholesterol ) i often had minor side effects varying , types ,just two weeks ago i was flat on my back ,no power at all , aching joint's , severe head aches , very short of breath , all the monor side effecs hit at the same time ,severely , Done with it everything i checked pointed squarely at the statins , i'm in search of quality of life , stopped all the statins immediately , over night the head aches ceased followed by the joint pains , few days later my strength slowly returned along with stamina ,the breathing improved but not totally as yet , in the back ground it was like a fog lifting ,i've never felt this good for a long time ,

Being a relative statin noob last year due to stage 1 hypertension, the advice from two health professionals pointed to either taking a break from them or switching to a lower strength one. Both options require quarterly blood work to see how these changes affect the lipids. The ultimate aim is to no longer be dependent on them but in order for that to work, the dietary changes and exercise regimen needs to be in place and maintained.

God morning friemds of health !!

We/you might have heard how women get Hormone Replacement Therapy because of age related Homone induced deficiency when they get "older".I remember my mother have this always complaining she had hot flushes,cold flushes,lack of drive in general,WEIGHT GAIN,change in sleep patterns,brain fog and many more "side effects"from Hormone Changes when getting older.
And women have no problem to get a Doctor,after health and blood checkups is done,prescribing Hormone Replacement Therapy...But we men suffer pretty much in the same way as women does.Should life have to be like that when getting older,my answer is -Absolutely NO.

That test is really quite silly, as it doesn't factor in age - a few examples;

1.Do you have a decrease in libido (sex drive)?

3.Do you have a decrease in strength and/or endurance?

7.Are your erections less strong?

8.Have you noticed a recent deterioration in your ability to play sports?

10.Has there been a recent deterioration in your work performance?

JP,you you can suffer from these health problems at young or old age.More and more young people have these health issues and what is the problem behind that JP..you know.I give you my thoughts if you don't mind JP.

Less and less of exercise,eating a lot of processed foods,takes the car instead of walking.Young people today around their 30+ age have less male hormones then say 20-30 years ago..why.
KP,instead of darkness you can choose light..so you by posting what you did i say you could have done some "research"instead you just complain that this and that what's missing is the thing that concern you the most.I agree many things are missing same as in your answer.Tell me KP did you do the test..care to post the result you got,guess not..complaining is your way to answer..okey up to you.
So in your world KP young people can not suffer from these problems..believe me when i say..You are being "really quite silly"..Complaining is your take on this subject you didn't take time to check some facts BEFORE posting..

I bet 100.000 Bath that you yourself JP haven't checked your male hormone status..am i right or wrong.I you wish to educate yourself regarding this subject..her's a link..start here and come back later with what you think.Thank you.

..close enoung JP -->KP....edited now..And to KP,very sorry to drag you in..please forgive old man

[jackspratt]

Alfie, I don't need to complete a self-serving "test" from a company which is in the business ($$) of promoting testosterone therapy, to understand that your average 70yo male is going to have a very different result from your average 20yo ... or 30yo ... or 40yo.... or.....

Who the "test" does not differentiate between.

And yes, Uncle T ..... I was not sure whether to be offended, or just tickled pink.

I agree with your “quality of life “ reasoning. If the drugs that are supposedly giving you a chance at a longer life are making you so miserable that you can’t enjoy your life, then is it worth the tradeoff to you?

Did you inform your doctor? Perhaps they could put you on a lower dose or different medication that you could tolerate. Your choice of course, It’s your body, your life. Know the risks and enjoy it while you’re here.
