How many other 70+ year olds here?

One big benefit: I sleep much better!
With the extra daily exercise, controlled diet (result:not feeling bloated), shunning alcohol and generally feeling better about myself I am sleeping much better. I used to frequently rely on a mild sleeping aid to help me sleep through the night but not any more. o:)
