Agree with you there Bachus. Cut down on the carbs but excercising when you are old is not that easy especially if you have an illness/condition which makes it difficult if not impossible. Try Peripheral Polyneuropathy as an example (diagnosed recently). If I overdo it gardening or housework then it can take me three days to recover so excercise is not always the answer.

Pace yourself and take each day as it comes.
