Based on the people I work with I do think if you take care of yourself you can largely avoid growing "infirm" for most of your life. There are a ton of sickly people out there but often if you dig into them you can tell they were not taking care of themselves if they knew it or not. I just see more and more very healthy and sharp people who shock me with their age. In real life and in the media. My old boss, a jerk, is 82 morbidly obese, and still is working. I watch every day waiting for him to pass.
And now that Canada allows for Euthanasia... I wonder if we might be on a better track for when you know the end is coming you can go peacefully.

I have seen people sicker after taking meds that are supposed to help them than for those of us who choose a natural way to deal with the issues

Part of my plan is to avoid drugs as long as I can. My mom I think died of a drug and as part of my HA I did look into it and a lot of drugs have serious side effects that are not discussed or taken seriously. I would not at ll be surprised to find out that drugs really cause more problems than they solve.
