Being a Health ‘Expert’ is a Health Hazard

I wonder if this is because some people who constantly focus on being healthy are hypochondriacs and stress themselves out? Either that or being healthy only does so much for longevity. Most of my aunts on my Dad's side all live to around 100 and they just ate basic diets. Eggs and bacon, meat and potatoes. They stayed active and lived purposeful lives. Genetics seems to be 75% of health but that being said, I do think eating healthy is important. Not trying to discount it.

1. I can't help but agree. I have diabetes. I also have a rn and a respitory therapist in the family .

They never leave me alone.

2. On the other hand eating only Chicken McNuggets will probably put you in a very early grave

This is the most disgusting thing I have ever heard:

You have to get those essential vitamins and minerals etc. She may only live into her 30 now because her body was neglected so badly of vital nutrients for so long.

3. I understand - my comment was tongue in cheek. I am very thankful for their concern.
