JCC What do you do to reduce your risk of death?

This. If you are a smoker, try to stop. If not, don't start. My parents both smoked and I lost my dad to cancer and my mom to a heart attack. (She was in the hospital for a biopsy for cancer and she had the heart attack in recovery.)

 

There may be something to be said for starting to smoke so that you can enjoy the risk of death decrease that comes with quitting.

 

I've found that waking up every day reinforces my not dead status.

 

As someone already on the back 9 of life, I'd have to agree with the old saying that every day above ground is a good day.

 

Nothing. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to eat a hamburger.

 

The late Ernest Borgnine had a wonderful tip on how he stayed alive for so long.

 

It's such good advice.

Also, I was just scolded by a three year old girl on a tricycle for not wearing my bicycle helmet. I'll add that to the list.

 

I work in a hospital so I'm slowly exposed to every disease and build up an immunity to them. ALL of them!
(I've been exposed to active TB twice and never gotten it, so it seems to be working.)

 

No alcohol, caffeine, cigarettes, drugs or junk food.

 

I totally agree with you about the cigarettes

 

Don't murder anyone.

 

"I don't dare tell you."

 

I like the idea of something you do for 80 years and your enthusiasm for it never wanes.

 

I automatically raise my hands and get on the ground as quickly as possible in the presence of all police officers so they won't shoot me.

 

Kind of a conundrum there concerning my cigar habit.

 

i try not to be fat. and i have a dog to keep me happy and moving. i also try to wine at least once a week, which ensures that i stay in touch with friends and also sometimes make new ones. and i eat lots of carrots.

actually, none of this is meant to keep me alive. i just like it. i mostly think that if i die i die.

 

I just focus on being hard to kill.

I wear plate armor to all social gatherings, and a chain mail hauberk in the privacy of my own home.

 

you must be a riot at parties

 

I think they mean have your heart working at a reasonably increased rate. So you know - 15mins of running, HIIT, rowing, cycling... weight lifting even. Yoga. It all helps.

 

I go for nice long walks every day, although that could also increase your risk of death as I did get mugged that one time.
