Subject: Interesting article about healthy living

I came upon this article while I was searching for another. Years ago I read a article that basically said that those that exercised regularly not only lived longer but when it was time for them to die, they died quickly. Not that I am obsessed with death but to think that when it is my time, that I may not have a lingering death is definitely appealing. Which makes my obsession of exercising even better.

I love that theory of "compressed morbidity" and truly do hope that it's true.
It makes sense anyway: the fewer chronic conditions one develops, the more likely an acute condition will come along and just flip the switch when we least expect it.

It's a nice thought even though it results in death (when it's your time, it's your time!), since nothing is more unappealing than the idea of a slow, agonizing deterioration of health...that's not the way I want to go!
