Getting Old: Stoic About It or Endless Whinger?
So now we know @atpeace is correct. It's not clear that you actually go to the gym with your bad knees you've complained about for 2 years, and your needing a walker to go uphill. We'd need the photos. Now, our ANF Longevity Scientists always reference The Guys as an excuse (one of many) to avoid diet and exercise. 4. The Guys "I know some guys who seemed healthy but have already died." We have no idea how healthy The Guys really were. They weren't overweight or by much, certainly not relative to yourself, LOL. We didn't see the medical history or the blood reports or the scans; many didn't even have the scans that would reveal preventable issues. E.g, the running guru Jim Fixx (often cited by the ignorant) died young because he ignored his previous history and the signs he had a problem. We also don't know about any congenital problems. Maybe The Guys didn't either. A brain aneurysm feels no obligation to announce itself before it suddenly kills you. One thing a good scan will reveal in those of normal weight will be visceral fat. This phenomena—sometimes known as skinny-fat, or “normal-weight obesity”—may affect up to one-fourth of normal weight people, according to one 2008 study. “They look healthy, but when we check them out they have high levels of body fat and inflammation,” says Ishwarlal Jialal, MD, director of the Laboratory for Atherosclerosis and Metabolic Research at UC Davis Health System. “They’re at high risk for diabetes and cardiovascular problems, but you wouldn’t know it from their appearance.” --https://www.foxnews.com/health/5-signs-you-might-be-skinny-fat Might well buy you more time as well as better quality of life. NIH study finds leisure-time physical activity extends life expectancy as much as 4.5 years Sarcopenia affects mortality negatively: Lower lean mass is robustly associated with increased mortality, regardless of health conditions and lean mass measurement modalities. --Sarcopenia and mortality in different clinical conditions: A meta-analysis Makes sense, You'll live longer if you don't die earlier from a fall. Yet ANF Longevity Science usually objects to the lack of an iron-clad guarantee. 6. No Ironclad Guarantee Our members are known for their extraordinary hard-nosed shrewdness, e. g., investing in only a suitcase, paying visa agents, uncovering satang change scams, and notably keeping Thai women under tight control. They deal only in absolute certainties guaranteed in writing. Before one suffers the trauma of denying oneself a pastry or of walking briskly around the block, one must first see the guarantee of precisely how much said sacrifice will reduce his dependence on his statins, ACE inhibitors, diabetes meds, blood thinners, and fake Viagra. His waistline will shrink by exactly how many centimeters? His obvious cognitive decline will reverse by exactly what percent? He may expect to live exactly how many years longer? WOT? Thought so. “Honey? Where's me pills?” -

South Korean influencer sparks concern regarding Thai work permit
To be honest I am quite negative about this 'profession'. My Thai son's wife is easy pray for influencers who easily convince her to buy many things. She's obviously an easy target and gets calls "I have new brand of cosmetics, beautiful bottles / jars and I'm holding the sales so you can be first, etc. She buys instantly. Some years back my son got tired of being asked for more and moe cash every month. He sat his wife down and politely insisted she tell him details of how she uses her money every month. Two health insurance policies came to light, both for her elderly mother, both way beyond being appropriate (8,000Baht daily limit for a private hospital room, and more). Also, son's wife had made several claims (handed to the seller / influencer). Son spoke to the seller who under pressure admitted that she had never forwarded the claims to the company. Seller was son's wife's best friend at high school. Son also asked for copies of the policies etc. His wife had none. Seller insisted that by Thai law customer are not allowed to have copies of insurance documents. Checking monthly premium payments revealed many payments had never been forwarded to the company. Son confronted the seller who insisted that she was doing everything legally. Son left the room and seller abused sons' wife 'how dare you, my best friend' the company is now investigating me and I will probably have to refund some commissions I have received. Son heard all this from the bedroom. Son then revealed he had been speaking to a manager at the insurance company which had revealed the seller had been dismissed many months earlier. Health policies for son's wife had been cancelled (by the seller) some one year earlier. Company did refund some money to son's wife. Son then told his wife she was prohibited from spending one Baht on anything without his written approval. Wife then realized she had been very childish. Son kept up the approval to spend for a few months then dropped it. Wife had learned her lesson. Son went with his wife to visit her mother to check what health insurance would be appropriate and they took a policy (different insurance company). Son still monitors the policy. Wife now only buys cosmetics from Robinsons / Central festival, and requests that my son go with her. -
