No, the suck factor is greater when you're old as opposed to when you're younger, that is unless you live about the same way all your life. Imagine how a professional athlete feels. Additionally, why is a restricted diet healthy if it lowers one's definition of quality of life? I read a study somewhere that showed that castration helps men live longer. Not my definition of healthy. Don't know why comment was downvoted. |

Maybe because people who are young and never had anything wrong with them want to (and think) they will live forever? So they don't like your negativity possibly. Just guessing here, but this drive to 'live forever' seems mostly advocated by people young people; once you (or a loved one) had a roll of the dice (something you could not have prevented with your fasting, weight lifting, sports etc), however small, you will change your mind; it is now, not in the future you need to enjoy.
Although living healthy works in ways, shit happens and then growing old indeed sucks. And it is not only your health; my grandparents both died within a year of each other, healthy as oxes with brains fully intact (both their hearts stopped in their sleep), still living together at 95 years old. They were lucky we think but they didn't consider that always; all their friends and relatives were dead. For a long time most of them. Their brothers and sisters; dead. Everything they had done in their lives; forgotten and dead besides their children. Of course that gave them joy together with grandchildren but still, the days were long and lonely for them even while they still had each other.
