HE is 92, but is physically fit and his mind is sharp.
Even though he has undergone two heart bypass surgeries, he keeps himself healthy.
People should take care of their health to enjoy their golden years, just like Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
Even though people may suffer from hypertension, diabetes and heart problems, they can take measures to be fit.
People who suffer from diabetes must be careful with their diet to avoid kidney failure, blindness and amputation.
People with hypertension must take their medication diligently and exercise regularly, which can help them keep stroke and kidney failure at bay.
Those who have heart problems must exercise regularly and stop smoking.
I have many friends and relatives who have diabetes, hypertension and heart disease, but are enjoying life by adopting healthy lifestyles.
Dr Mahathir has proved that age is just a number by taking on the challenges of being the prime minister head on.
