I'm young. I want to be spry when I'm old. What do I do?

In My Humble Opinion

I don’t have the time or wherewithal to debunk all of this, but 99% of this post is pure crap.

I will address the Thiomersal/mercury issue, though:

First off, not all flu vaccines have it. Only the multiple dose vials do. The nasal inhalation vaccine, and single-dose vials do not contain it.

Secondly, and most importantly, thiomersal is not toxic in the tiny, tiny amounts used. Yes, it breaks down into mercury in the body, but the kind of mercury it breaks down into (ethylmercury,) is much less toxic and cleared from the body much, MUCH faster than the more dangerous kind of mercury, methylmercury, which is the kind of mercury that’s often found in seafood.

Fun fact about that. There is more mercury (the bad kind, methylmercury, at that) in a measly five average cans of tuna than what was in ten years worth of thiomersal containing vaccines.

(But you were right on one thing…you did receive flak!)

Sorry for doing a quick and dirty reference, but my info comes from QuackCast. The references he uses for his podcast on vaccines can be found here. And you’ll be happy to know that none of them are the FDA, which, as you say, is corrupt. :rolleyes:

The most important thing you have to take care of is your heart. This means lots and lots of aerobic exercise. You need to raise your heart rate up and keep it up for about 60 minutes, five times a week.

Second is muscle training. You don’t need big muscles, but using weights increases bone density and it allows the tendons to stretch and strengthen as well.

Yoga is very good for learning how to relax. Tension is a major issue as you age. You’d be surprised how much stress effects you and you don’t know.

Love is also another thing. You need love in your life. I don’t mean a physical love or even a mental love of another person, though that’s fine. It can be a love of animals, a love of your career, or a love of humanity in general. But you need to find a passion

Finally learn to cope. It amazes me there are people my age, in their 40s, who never learned to cope with problems. Life is PROBLEMS, but you have to learn to cope with what you can and do the best with what you can’t

I’m posting without reading the replies.

Choose your parents/grandparents well. Genetics is most of life.

If you give up whiskey, smoking, and wild women, you will be guaranteed to live that long. But if you give those up, then why would you want to?

Don’t get fat. It’s hell on your knees, feet, and heart.

Don’t smoke. It’s hell on your lungs.

Don’t drink too much. It’s hell on your liver.

Don’t get addicted to the internet or video games. Your ass will grow exponentially and it’s hell on your wrists.

Avoid drama queens. They’re hell on your nerves.
