Working at a desk 15 hours a day has kept the family fed, but done me no good.

Blood pressure and a heart pill........... As I seem to have inherited an issue from each of my parents......... Other than that a couple vitamins to help keep my system in balance. My doctor has joked that I am one of his healthiest older patients, can't find anything else to prescribe for (think they're in league with the Pharmacy myself LOL).

I'm going to turn 64 soon. Nothing.
I ride my bicycle an hour at a time, 3-4 days a week. I helped put up hay a couple of time this year. I wasn't sure tossing a bunch of hay bales was a good idea. But my friend couldn't get any of his 30 year old buddies to help.
I take a vitamin every day, along with a glucosamine. I eat whatever I want. I do watch portion size tho.
I spent too much time at the reloading bench since I've retired from UPS. I wonder why that is?

About to get off my prostate drugs since I had it resectioned by laser. Still have to take a couple cholesterol meds and 3 heart meds plus low dose aspirin. Taking a bunch of supplements along with my extra Vit C, D, B-complex, etc. I'm with Rusty, better living through chemistry. Emphasis on 'living'.

I'm 65 and take no meds. Walk the dogs 6-7 miles every morning plus I'm outside working just about every day. I parked my zero turn a couple years ago and cut the grass with a push mower. I usually end up at 12-15 miles every day.

In August, I'll celebrate the 9th. anniversary of my 65th. birthday. I have pain meds for when the arthritis kicks into high gear, but that's it. Even at that, I get 50 Percocet for the year and I always have a bunch left at renewal time. My 2 best buds are pretty much in the same boat in that none of us are on a daily medication regimen of any kind. One guy is 7 yrs. my junior and the other has a year more on me, so we're all of us pretty lucky.

67 so far none
I admire how long you stuck with it.
Nice work - no one likes a quitter.
When asked I tell folks I am in the process of quitting all of the above and have been for 40 years.
I gave up drinking at 20.. I wasted way too much on liquor. .Got married at 24 and quit chasing wimmen(for my health y'unnerstand). Quit smoking at 45 cause it just got too expensive...and I wanted to. Sometimes I get too close to a nice looking woman and regret my actions..and sometimes someone lights one up and for a second or two I want to rip it out of their fingers and suck it down in one drag. Never missed likker at all. I take a small drink every now and then but just a toast or something . My liver is still a little out of whack from all that likker 55 years ago... I would drink most anything at the drop of a hat...and I'd do the dropping LOL...Some of the things I did for fun and money were kinda dangerous
At 93 I take 4 meds, mostly for blood pressure and prostate. Have a pacemaker for about 5 years and so far so good. Quit smoking 50 years back. Have a glass of red wine every night. It is not the years that did me wrong it was the miles .I have hunted and fished for all my life and did what I needed to do. Now a great grandfather which is the job I like. I use a cane but not a wheel chair. I have out lived all those Buggers I once worked for.
I've survived multiple motorcycle accidents, a crush fractured L1 vertebrae (no surgery), prostate cancer (20 years ago), in the past few years knocking myself out slipping on ice twice once resulting in separation of my right shoulder...typical hockey injuries. At 73 I don't have anywhere near the stamina I used to have and consider going to the gym for some weight training, my back holds me back somewhat (acupuncture and Chinese herbs work wonders). I do take medication for lower leg thrombosis (Eliquis) I have a hypothyroid from possible exposure to agent orange which took my prostate at 53 so take a supplement for that as well as something to regulate my heart which drops a cylinder ever now and then, barely enough to pick up on electrocardiogram. The VA has been very proactive in taking care of me, I have no complaints with my treatment and generally feel in fairly good health especially when observing those around me that are younger. I just had both eyes done for cataracts and can once again see the front sight in the bull at distance and am happy to be shooting again and actually seeing what I am shooting at. Life is good...
