Telika: Well, here's one from non-athletic lard butt Francis Blanche. "Dying fat, dying slim, the difference is for the pallbearers."
oddly enough, I've never heard of a really old person dying of heart failure!

I think we should be more concern of the growing number of youth talking steroids before they even are 18. Thanks to all lying narcissistic fitness influencers. Look at Larry wheels. He looks over 30 when he was 24 thanks to all drugs he takes. These people are nothing but famous druggy

Telika: To be fair, a lot of people enjoy exercising and eating healthy.

Syphon72: I never meet someone that that like eating healthy.
They live outside the USA. :-p

Looking through the deaths of oldest people, "natural causes" and "not stated" could be anything. Honestly, if you live long enough, half your life is just being elderly anyway.

Warloch_Ahead: The phrase "eventually leads to death(!)" tickles me funny because life also eventually leads to death. The train's gotta stop some time.
That was my thought as well!

Warloch_Ahead: Pfft. You transhumanists and your immortality. How about I prolong my lifespan by genetically splicing cheetos into my DNA and arm my immune system with tiny lasers that kill off microbes that wander near, hmm? That way, I can live as a humanoid chemically enhanced lattice of cornmeal without fear! Is that what you want? To live as a giant cheeto?! HMM?!
Very good point. One could argue one aspect of life is to figure out how long one is comfortable living.

It's rather telling it's called the SAD diet. :D

I ended up learning to enjoy healthy food but it takes effort. One should take it in small steps, not quit cold turkey or you end up with the new years resolution syndrome. Then there is the social issue, it's better to time all around eating with other people so most of your meals can then be matched to less unhealthy food.
Did you know that 100% of people who ate food and drunk water eventually died? Let the numbers sink in.
everything eventually leads to death

Dihydrogen Monoxide is a killer, but they are keeping it a secret to keep us sheeple addicted to the stuff! Wake UP!
Also I've been watching a few movies with Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger and apparently bodybuilding leads to a lot and lot of deaths.

Once I tried this joke myself around town... it worked disturbingly well. -.-'
The following is kinda weird: About 6 Mo at my fitness center, I noticed 3 or 4 guys doing leg presses on what's called the sled. Now these guys were pretty big and I asked how much weight was on the sled. It was 450-550 lbs and I managed 5 repetitions. Some days later another guy said his best was 1150 lbs. So in 2-3 months I managed 1 rep at 1150. That was about 6.5 times my body weight. At 80 years old I consider that pretty da*n good, considering the younger guy was probably less than half my age. One bad thing resulted from my prowess, it destroyed my Gahl bladder! I lost a lot of body weight and about 30 percent of my muscle mass. I managed to get back some of my body weight but no matter how much I eat or no matter how often I eat just about anything, I cannot get above 150 lbs. So doing something out of curiosity can have great consequences.

Could this have something to do with my Nordic ancestry (Icelandic)?

Did you leg press 1150lb correctly? A lot of people barley bend their legs when dong leg press. 1150lb at 80 years old seems off and dangerous for you. No offense

But if you did it correctly more power to you.
