My DOB: 1957. My advice and personal practice:
No drinking, no smoking. Vitamins every day. Get down to your fighting
weight. Sex as often as the wife can stand it. Keep your mind sharp by
keeping active physically and challenging yourself mentally.

No smoking since 1987, a multi-vitamin and 500 mg of vitamin C, plus an
enteric-coated aspirin each morning has kept me remarkably healthy. In
fact, I honestly can't remember the last time I was sick, and I've never
missed a day of work in my life.

At six feet tall, I've been as light as 175 pounds, and as heavy as 205, but
I generally remain in the 185 - 190 range when working out regularly, as I
am now.

But no drinking? At all? Not even a cold beer at the hangar after a long
cross country on a hot summer's night? Not even a glass of rose with a
plate of lasagna?

That ain't right.

And, I believe, health statistics show that alcohol, when consumed in
moderation, is a life-prolonging prescription.
