I do notice certain things and have told him. And then leave it alone.

I hope he will make a dr.'s appt. to have a physical checkup. He is avoiding this..for past 2 years. And I know partially why: probably wants to avoid knowing how much weight he's gained, etc. But he has been returning to cycling..around 35-40 kms. each day after his collision. I do nothing to stand in his way. He is resting his butt now, because climbing hills on bike, means pushing down which is making it more painful. But he is not stoppping from doing abit of cycling every day.

For people who have been healthy for a long time, it's a matter of striking a discreet balance of care and respectful encouragement...it never stops, folks. Very healthy people are ALWAYS working towards their own good health. It's just some people have found something physical that they enjoy doing so they keep on doing it and after awhile, they don't talk about it with others. And always, always remember for healthy folks, have their own long-term health problems, but they just don't allow themselves to dwell on it too much. (He's had tinnitus, nacrolepsy for past few decades.)

Then other people think such folks have inherited a good luck/good physical fitness gene. Nope. It's just mindful living, movement and mindful eating.
