Drinking more in my mid sixties has helped a lot with my digestion. I have diverticulitis and I fixed that with diet years ago. But the water has made a great difference. I found a new book recently Attachment 36013 and it basically affirms that you move you live, you move a lot and you live longer and much healthier and if you sit you are gonna die and have poor health. I recently had that epiphany in my old easy chair. It was like a drug so I threw it out. Movement raises your metabolism and helps digestion. Maintains flexibility and actually gives you energy. So Ive done a stairmaster for about 20 yrs now. Easy on the joints and three miles, 5 days a week. I also do weights. There is proof they are good for you as you age. I was lucky those forty years because my job was a lot of exercise as I lead each class in exercise and stretching each day 6 classes a day. Retiring 3 yrs ago I had to create my own program.
    Great book.

    About cardio- change it up. Yes, that is why I do HIIT and not steady state cardio.
