The Golden Rotten Years
Of what good it is to live to a ripe old age to end up spending our golden years rotten? Personally, I wouldn't want to live to 69 to not be able to recognise my children and my children's children; to not be able to walk or eat on my own. That would be torture. That would be hell. And certainly, that wouldn't be living a life if I still have any left at all!
Datuk Prof Dr Tan Hui Meng, president of the Malaysian Society of Andrology and the Study of the Aging Male says that Malaysian men are living longer but they will spend their last 14 years battling ill health. The golden rotten years, if I may.

"It is payback time for abusing the body and leading an unhealthy lifestyle. The result is that when men should be enjoying their most productive years, they suffer from diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, heart attacks and strokes."

This is a sad statistic. However, all is not lost, if only people realised that there is a way outta this - A healthy lifestyle.
Its not as difficult as it sounds. If only there was a way to convince everyone..
