I do!!!
It seems the doctors have each day more tests to see how worn out people are. I can tell them without tests. I use to run, now I walk. I ate huge amounts of food happily without gaining one pound, now I eat like a bird and put on weight.
I´m beginning to think that the best way to stay healthy and out of trouble is to forget about doctors, except if you have excruciating pain.
What do you think? Could you live more like people did a hundred yeasrs ago? Do you think it´s better or worse? Why?
Happy posting. Take care

yes marguicha, I have to agree with you there.
I just don't know why people are so worried about what they are eating anymore.
Our ancestors didn't worry and they ate what they wanted whenever they wanted and most of them lived to a ripe old age. I do agree that they put to many preservatives in our food now adays, but how else would they be able to produce the mass amount we need if they didn't. Never the less our ancestors never worried about how high their cholesterol was they just went ahead and ate all the butter and fats and all that they had because it was either eat that or starve. That is pretty much where we are today. Not many people can afford to put expensive things on their table that is good for them all the time becasue it is just to expensive to buy. We eat what we can afford to eat.
I think doctors will find something wrong with you 50% of the time so they can keep you coming back and put you on all kinds of medicine. I'm with you...stay home and away from doctors unless it is an emergency.

i think everything is a mindgame and a mindset, if u think that u can run than start running dont walk.Eat plenty and run like a horse--everything is going to be in place. trust me i do the same.

Hi and god morning to you marguicha. Health checkups, well I guess that is something I should do. I am 43 years old, have not had any sickdays since I started working. But sometimes I think I should do a checkup for my health. However, you really do not just call the hospital up and ask for it. You only call the hospital when you really are sick. And then perhaps they just make some blodtests but only for the reason you are there. I guess, I am ok. Or I would not have the energy to work as I do. But it shore would feel nice to do a checkup now or then. You might go around with something that wont be so easy to treat.
I try to eath healty, I am not an exersise person, but walk between work and home.
My free time I spend online, I guess that is not really an exersise but...I have so much fun...lol
