I'm 53 and I live like the young people in the article. Actively try to stay 
healthy and try not to break anything. I think it's a more responsible way 
to live than to ignore one's health and depend on doctors to 'fix' whatever 
we've done to ourselves.People run to the doctor for all sorts of things 
that could be cured by living right. My chances of getting health insurance 
are nill until I qualify for Medicare (NO jobs around here provide health 
insurance). So I'd better stay healthy....besides, it's much more enjoyable 
to be healthy than to be sick.
