The blood pressure-lowering medications was a kick in the crotch. I've had primary hypertension (i.e., doctors have no explanation for why) since I was a teenager playing fifteen h…

Also stay out of the sun. Better yet, just do a treadmill inside. No skin cancer that way.

The construction of GP and your post in sequence implies you think walking is not enjoyable. GP: Go walking. You: Instead, find a balance and enjoy life. Walking is very enjoyable.…

Technically you've made some bigoted assumptions about my proclivities. :D

You're basically pointing at RFK Jr's speeches and saying, "See? Biology is bullshit." I trust you are smart enough to immediately extrapolate more than I would be able to type in …
