One of my former neighbors, who was 78 at the time, worked with me to put up a fence, shovel and wheelbarrow gravel, mix cement and build a deck ........ I was so surprised that the type of work like that wasn't killing him. I was in my early 40's at the time, and I was, admittedly, a little sore after that type of work.
His secret, he said, was 2 eggs, bacon, toast and coffee every morning and keeping himself busy and active. He had farmed until he was 70 then "retired" but this guy was amazing.
It makes me realize it's 90% about keeping active.
