I appreciated getting to 70 and resolved to stay active as long as possible. I had a pretty good bout of colon cancer in my 60s but made a good recovery after a lot of down time with chemo, radiation and surgery. Having to be inactive for months made me appreciate getting to 70 and being able to still get out to hunt, fish, travel etc as much as I used to. I'll be eighty next year. I'm slowing down a little but so far I'm still able to do most of what I used to. Don't know if staying active has helped in that respect or not, probably genetics, good doctors and luck have a lot to do with it too so do it while you can. I've seen too many people get out the rocking chair sooner than they had to, IMO and that seems to accelerate the aging process.
