That’s a bit of a worry...my heart age is 66 and I’ve just turned 63. No idea of the specifics re my BP but whenever I’ve had it taken at the docs it’s ok. No matter how hard I try I cannot reduce my cholesterol, despite a reasonably healthy diet. Few biscuits, lots of fruit & salad. Also the odd curry, 12 pints a week (drunk over three nights, Sunday, Thursday, Saturday) the occasional monthly fish & chips.
I visit the gym 4 x a week, including circuit training twice a week. I walk 10/12 miles every Thursday and at least 3 miles a day. I’ve just backpacked 210 miles in 13 days ( that’s 16 miles a day with a 10Kg pack) despite an arthritic hip.
I’m very slightly overweight but my recent 17 day alcohol free annual detox meant I lost 6 lbs whilst scoffing kitkats, choc bars, biscuits, fish n chips at every opportunity on my recent backpack ( without a stove).
If I make it to 70 I’ll have no complaints.
