Healthy Living

Does anyone else get fed up with this healthy living business (or am I alone)?
If you don't run, walk, cycle, etc etc every day all sorts of terrible things will happen to you (stroke, heart attack, siffness, depression, etc).
Food: few carbs, no fat, no grains, no cream, etc.
I'm sure my mother never worried about these things. Neither did my MIL (and she died when she was 96)! Both as happy as sandboys.
I worry more about these things since PMR and life isn't as pleasant. I've never been really overweight or had many illnesses - so why can't I just forget about 'healthy living'?

If you read the evidence, it's likely the cause. I'm doing my best to eat a clean diet, but it's hard.
This is my personal opinion, I'm sure many will express their opinion.

AND our forebears had PMR too, but they didn't call it PMR, they called it rheumaticks or arthritis. Although it was described first of all in 1888 by a doctor in Scotland it wasn't until 1966 in the US that it was described as a separate disease and given the name we know it by. Of course then they suggested all sorts of causes - including viruses but that too will just be a small part, there is no evidence of any factor common to all patients. There was no "cure" or means of management until the early 50s when pred was developed - and the patients in wheelchairs who were given pred and got up and walked were almost certainly PMR patients with severe symptoms.
Plus, given the ages at which it is more common, it is relatively recently that age expectation has increased to the sort of level where there are lots of people in their 70s and 80, increasing the numbers seen with it. When I was young people in their 70s were considered really old whereas these days they are still relatively young.

I remember my grandfather saying that he suffered from " Rheuma" at times, and he needed to rest. So, it seems it runs in the family.......

Don't take this as criticism - but you could just as well ask "WHY do I have to get older?". There are parallels so it isn't such a daft comment as you might think. Everything gets less efficient as we get older and in some ways that also includes the immune system. In the past PMR was accepted as part of old age - if it were still the same and not manageable at all would that make you feel better about it?
