[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 648586, member: 1550"] Suzir, thank you VERY much for explaining. I think your people in the country you reside in have a very good attitude about health. I admit I don't play sports, but it's not because I'd rather sit on a couch and watch them. It's because I have no aptitude even for tennis. So I run. And I bike ride. And I use workout machines. I think your have a much healthier attitude toward physical health than we do. I do have one interesting question, perhaps not surprising since I have made my position known. And this is something that would not make one overweight, but would impact health. Do the folks in your country smoke cigarettes as much as we do? I actually think it's getting much better in the U.S. I kind of feel like it's worthless to be active and eat healthy if you're going to smoke, but I'm fanatical about smoking. I can't think of anything I feel is more perilous to your health, except being overweight AND smoking. Although I am NOT a medical professional, I have worked at four hospitals in Admitting and the early and younger heart attacks were almost always the same profile: overweight, definitely smokers, and the youngest of all tended to be interestingly men. I also notice a huge difference between people my age (early 60s) who can do things...the thinner, non-smokers tend to do quite well whereas those who are smokers and/or obese seem to have trouble sometimes just walking and definitely doing the stairs. This, of course, does NOT include everybody. Thanks again, Suzir. And to my other board friends, Suz has reasons why she doesn't want us to know exactly what country she lives in. It bothered me once (and we even got into it because of it...stupid of me...myself being stupid again!), but I respect that in her. Let's just say she lives across the pond from the US and Canada ;) She will tell us if she wants us to know. [/QUOTE]
