On the question of missing forum members who no longer post, it's similar to organisations or groups who have several hundred members on their mailing list. They may even continue to pay their annual subscriptions but never turn up to meetings or events, so give a false impression of the health and...

Kind kind man but was truth! I am well over 70 and it shows on the outside. Someone took a photo a couple of years ago on my camera and when I checked it I wondered who it was. Ah well, young inside!

Re: Healthy and balanced diet

Well, according to modern ideas my diet is a disaster but I do not have a weight issue and my last bloodwork was fine. I have M.E of long standing with a lot of extra damage due to 30 yrs of misdiagnosis and damaging wrong treatment. There is so much I cannot eat and as age increases this is growing...
