That will also be covered this weekend. It appears that many older folks are
no more interested in starting an exercise program then they are in changing
their eating habits.

Some people are simply resigned that this is the kind of thing that happens
to you when you get old. When thinking you're old in itself, that attitude,
can be playing a part in their overall health.

There are numerous 'tests' on the web - and some doctor's offices have them
as software - where you calculate your age by your health risks. And, many
of them show you how many years you could get back from that estimate by
doing 'x' thing, whether that be diet, exercise, stopping smoking, ...
whatever. That kind of thing might be illustrative to them.
