Excess fat in your blood steam is not good. Ask any heart doc when they find hardening of the arteries.
But the first thing really is to try diet, exercise, no salt...
Pascal, perhaps you can explain this "Mediterranean diet" we are all supposed to be on? Plant based? No red meat? :grumpy: Lots of Olive oil?
It always kinda amused me to hear an obese person say "not my fault, it's genetic" while gulping down a bucket of KFC watered down with a can of Coke.
No Pascal it was a DIET COKE, c'mon cut 'em some slack! :highly_amused:
.... we all know a bucket of fried chicken can't hurt nobody. :laughing:
Right. Fried chicken doesn't kill people, people kill people.
Including themselves.
And yes, if it comes down to a choice of living forever on a diet of rigorous self denial or being able to savor every last moment, though less of them there may be, what the h--l do you think I'm gonna choose?
Die happy.
We all gotta go sooner or later anyway.
Ya know.... there is (and has been for a long time now) no secret attached to the link between diet & exercise, and general health.
And one more thing: Red wine is good for you (as with everything: in moderation) :kiwi-fruit:
I believe it was Herman Hesse who said true wisdom is found on the path of excess.Oh LORDY, and then you had to go and ruin it with the dreaded "M" word!!
Oh come ON, Pascal!! If it was really that easy, everyone would be doing it!!
Oh LORDY, and then you had to go and ruin it with the dreaded "M" word!!
To paraphrase a certain mad scientist who once tried to steal a sacred ring right off of Ringo's finger, several times in fact:Bring on the Burgundy damn it! (or I'll fart in your general direction Al, which should get most of the territory covered from where I stand)
To paraphrase a certain mad scientist who once tried to steal a sacred ring right off of Ringo's finger, several times in fact:
"With farts like that, you could (dare I say it?)...RULE THE WORLD!!!!"
Hey waitaminit, what're you pickin' on me for? (besides the fact it's your name).
I'M the one championing excess here!
And lemme tell ya, 92 your uncle might be, but when the end comes, it's gonna be quick. Over in a heartbeat.
He'll probably just collapse in the middle of a glass of wine.
Everybody's worst nightmare.
One second you're trying to remember what it was you were trying to remember, next second you're knock-knock-knockin' on you-know-who's door.
No long drawn out reprieve while medical science desperately tries to forestall the inevitable and squeeze every last breath from unwilling lungs, nosiree.
No protracted self-searching about the value of one's accomplishments and regrets over vengeances unaccomplished..
Quick. No second chances.
No last kiss from...well, whoever....
THAT'll teach 'im.
Al, even if I didn't own a Guild, posts like that would keep me coming back here. :applouse:

If only we could buy our demise....
For sale at every church, mosque or temple near you......Maybe THAT's why people are so preoccupied with the converse:
Trying to buy immortality.
