It is all a question of intensity. If I have a leisurely stroll around the park, spending an hour on the 2-mile loop looking at leaves and the lake, I will have brought peace to my soul but not burned enough calories to justify eating a pint of ice cream. If I had run a few laps around the same park during that hour, I might have missed a few of the trees but would have earned the right to relish the ice cream.

It is pretty easy to tell if you are healthy. You go to the doctor and they test your blood pressure, weight and every couple of years you get a blood panel. There are even tools to make sure you stay healthy. I recently read that if you eat well and not too much, stay active, don’t smoke and only drink in moderation you get 12 to 14 extra years. That suggests that if I continue (pretty much) following all five, I have a chance of lasting past 85.
