It seems there's another message from hm government every week.. don't eat this don't do that do more of this reduce this ..
It might be my age or I'm just tired of hearing the constant blah blah ..I've stopped listening to them... I just do pretty much what I enjoy 
Do you change your behaviour because of them ?
Are they defeating the objective by issuing a lot.?.(and often a short while later there's a new study that says the opposite.) |

I don't hear any of it.
I don't watch TV or read newspapers and this is the only type of social media I'm on.
So I'm blissfully oblivious to all the doom and gloom and we're all going to die from breathing and blinking etc ..

There seems to be a lot of focus on living a certain way to live longer, I don't really see the appeal of living into my eighties but being dependant on others as parts fail or my body staying healthy while my mind leaves me.
So I'll have a blob of cream on my pie and balance it with a long walk in the woods.

Maybe the UK needs to be told? I'm in the south of France at the moment and believe me, everyone looks a lit healthier than your average British city!
It is slightly condescending I know, but education is an important factor? |

It's about living a better quality of life when you're older? Some give up at the first sign of an ache, whilst the healthier remain active well into old age? |

To be fair most of this advice just ends up being wrong or not helpful as one day an asprin helps keep heart attacks away then a year later no we were wrong.
Just be reasonable, don't do things in excess and if you want to improve healthwise like be fitter, just find a friend who is for advise than these officals. |

You'd get more people to the gym/healther if you said 'you know that sex position you've always wanted to do but lacked the strength or flexiblity, here's the workout routine to achieve it'  |

The most recent drive is around diabetes. My father is in his early 90s, he is fit, active and weighs the same now as he did in his 20s. The doctor told him to cut back on sugar in case he became diabetic, then told him at his age he shouldn't worry and to carry on as he was. Then he walked home along a path polluted with carbom monoxide about which the government aren't so concerned it would seem. |

There's an awful lot of people in homes right now in their 90's who've always eaten white bread and dripping and had a drink regularly, they just balanced it with hard work. Also people who lived that way and dropped of a heart attack at 60. It's all a bit of a lottery.
It's just about the balance , rather than avoidance of the things that give us pleasure. |

But generally we do have a more sedentary life style than older generations. Together with most of us owning cars/ home appliances requiring less effort such as dishwashers means were expending less energy - that's the rub.
Just walking (for those who physically can) will often make a huge difference.
Then of course there's the hidden crap in food that was never around years ago - one area where the government should most certainly focus more.. |

There are about 120 countries in the world you could substitute France for, and that statement would still be true |

"In my 20s I abused my body in my 40s I treat it with respect .You are a long time dead and you only get so many trips around the sun."
There's a lot of drugs passed around those hippy drum circles |
