@kjoed53 I loved reading this and you are so right! What we’re born with plays such an important role in our health and longevity. I don’t feel that I judge my family members-simply have concern/worry. I definitely don’t want to alienate anyone by voicing an opinion and I know I wouldn’t appreciate dietary advice myself. I have a glass of wine with dinner every night and don’t want anyone to tell me not to.

I have a friend (male) who is obese, 84 years old and has had the pig valve replacement a decade ago. He eats horribly and gets no exercise. Genetics are not good either, but I think his secret is that he seems to not worry about anything! I truly believe that this has added years to his life.

I’ll do better tomorrow! 🤞🏻
