Yes, @ericvancewalton, it is a war all right. And the older we get, the more challenging it becomes to "fight the good fight." Here is the best book I have personally read, on this topic:

• "Outlive," by Peter Attia MD

It was recommended by my doctor. Peter just lays it out, in a very straightforward manner, which I personally appreciate. He has characterized his approach along the lines of becoming a "centenarian decathlete," which doesn't mean you will actually live that long. It is just a mindset.

Thanks for the video link. I will look into it further, as your post here makes a compelling argument for doing that!

"I’m still contemplating how to extend Memoir Monday well into the future and I’m close to revealing it! Please stay tuned for that."

Okay. Being steadily introduced to a number of new ideas, this one sounds like it will be worth considering. I will now follow your account to learn more about it, once you're ready to publish your thoughts.
