That's what I have been telling myself, no comorbidities, great metabolic health, almost never get sick so a tip top immune system. Although I fall into that "elderly" category I don't expect that I am in any more danger than people much younger than I am. Of course I could be kidding myself but I don't think so. This situation really underscores how important diet is to health, much beyond weight loss. |
