That is easier to do and gave me 94 vs 93 with the other but when I put in my father's stats.. nothing accounted for him quitting smoking when the COPD got so bad he had to quit smoking then later quit drinking. Still, 84 vs 75. I guess is the 3 pack a day habit already gives you the disease that will kill you early, then quitting doesn't help as much, especially if you can't lose weight to help with lung function. media.nmfn.com Anyway, overall they say exercise regularly (I just came back from my 75 minute 4.2 mile hike), eat mostly good food in moderation to keep weight & BP in control. This one didn't put much weight in cholesterol levels... probably making the Keto/Atkins folks happy, and it seemed to give too much credit too soon for changing bad habits. for example, 30 or 40 years of not drinking should count for far more than 3 years and the same for smoking and other issues... My grandmother lost half a lung from smoking when she was about my age or younger, never smoked again and lived to 91. She was thin, ate a typical midwestern diet (few green veggies unless boiled to worthless) but drank and everything else in moderation. Her older sister and brother, with worse habits by far, actually lived a bit longer. Strong Viking blood I suppose.
