If you ever need any motivation to keep exercising I think this is it!
I'm sort of with you, John. People who are in their '80s today were born in the 1930s or earlier. They lived through the Great Depression, WWII, etc. Maybe they weren't "health conscious," but in general they led lives that were healthier than the majority of people today. Their diets didn't consist of processed foods. They were more apt to have jobs requiring physical labor. Yes, they were more likely to smoke, but the majority of those still with us gave that habit up a long time ago.
