Remember Jim Fixx?

Quote:

In his books and on television talk shows, he extolled the benefits of physical exercise and how it considerably increased the average life expectancy. The cover of Jim Fixx' book, The Complete Book of Running, featured Fixx's muscular legs against a red cover. The book sold over a million copies.

... and then...

Quote:

On July 20, 1984, Fixx died at the age of 52 of a fulminant heart attack, after his daily run on Vermont Route 15 in Hardwick.

The woman on the left seems really ragged.

I dunno...I smoked for 34 years (quit 2 years ago) and drank like a fish for a handful of them (sober 11 years). Since quitting smoking, I've begun eating healthy, organic and natural, and taken up running and lifting weights.

This webcam shot was taken 1 month before my 51st birthday (in Aug). Do I look older or younger than 51?

OMG, I thought i was looking at a picture of the mother of one of my boys mates. She's sort of a friend in that we travel in the same circles locally and are often at the same functions and do's. Anyway, she's just over 40, but you look better than she does on a normal day.

One of the biggest factors of the appearance of aging is the effect of sun exposure on the skin. Probably worse than smoking for causing premature aging. I've seen seniors in queensland whose arms look like crocodile skin.

I'm too lazy to check, but is McKeith from the US? Maybe California? Lots of sun, yah?

Nigella is from England. She's probably had ten hours of direct sunlight in her whole life. Bit of an unfair advantage in this regard.
