Of the recent deaths of my friends and family (a middle age thing) 90% of them were due to a heart attack no matter what other problems they had. Some seemingly had no health issues other than old age.
Of the people I know of who live well mid and old age all are active daily. I've gone from an active job to a sedentary office job so I am in mortal danger. I'm in the worst shape of my life at an age when that is very bad. Motivation is zero. I had gone to the gym for 20 years but for social and work reasons I an anxious to go back. I just do some light biking (20km to 30km x 2 or 3 days/wk) in the summer.
Even my Dad with terrible lung capacity was active; hockey games, light home repairs, fishing, grocery shopping, visiting family and friends. Even with his oxygen generator that barely got him there in the end. When he lost his mobility it was a quick downturn and he died only about six months later.
Be active daily at all costs.
