You are expected to live to 77 years old.

Chances are 50 percent that you will live between 70.5 and 89.5 years.

But you have a 5% chance of dying before age 41 and a 5% chance of living past 97.

Ok, I am opening myself up for insults and crap. Fine. But if what I say now helps anyone, any pain is worth it.

First, older gentlemen. Get tested for Testosterone by a DOCTOR, not a TV Commercial. I am old. Was tested. Testosterone - Borderline. Then I INSISTED on injections. $30 a month. I lost weight and feel much better. Yes, there are creams. They are daily; messy. Injections are better if a Doctor is within driving distance. No, I do not use, nor need, Viagra. If you need it, fine. Better than Rhino Horn or Tiger Pancreas. But please try Testosterone first.

Second, Finasteride.  Does not grow hair, but will preserve what you have. Have your doc prescribe large pills, which you will cut up to smaller, appropriate doses. Much cheaper. Cost - about 25 cents a day.

Third - damn. I need help here.

Metformin may extend life, significantly. And it is cheap. I just don't know how to get some yet. If I could, I would get it for my entire family.

Metformin is prescribed for diabetes and only by a doctor. Side effect - it can cause kidney problems.

I take 1000 mg a day for my diabetes.

Do you think it is helping you live longer ?

Stupid Question.

If it helps you resist diabetes, of course it is helping.

I don't have Diabetes, thank Jesus. But I'd sure like to take Metformin.

A few decades ago, a yogurt company was running TV ads
featuring people in a Soviet Socialist Republic who were over 100 years old,
and noted that they also ate a lot of yogurt.

Cartoonist Mike Peters drew a parody of the ad:

Interviewer:  To what do you attribute your long life?
Centenarian:  I have not criticized the state.

The Soviet State was Georgia.

I'm just goin' to the end without changing-or-doing anything... if I can help it.  I owe it to my ancestors not to go overboard with the whole earthly bio-physical thing.
