It take anti-oxidants CoQ10, and Krill oil (antioxidant astaxanthin) although I suspect the amount of astaxanthin is negligible.

The sad truth is, men in Iran live a longer average life span than here in the USA.
You think they eat a bunch of processed foods like us Americans?

Fish oil can have benefits but don’t use inexpensive brands. Stick with certified known companies.
Everybody like to grill their food especially when the weather is good. Add vegetables to your grill. Mushrooms, onions, peppers, zucchini, you name it. Coat them with a little olive oil and salt and pepper and grill them in a basket made for that. A good side dish to go with whatever else you have.

You know this because you trust the official statistics coming from Iran?
His father had his first MI around age 35 and his father then died of a second MI at age 43.
So family heredity was a factor as well as his father's smoking ( additive risk factor).
Jim Fix dies at age 52 from an MI. He lived a bit longer than his father, so his exercise did not hurt at all.
I feel ya this. Certain foods "psych you out."
After a lifetime of knowing darn well that oats is sooo good for health, but having a gag reflex to creamy oatmeal, I finally got past that. Steel cut or thick rolled oats, cooked al dente with minimal liquid was the way.
BTW I am basically addicted to something called "salmon candy."
Didn't they discover that Fixx had 90% ++ blockage somewhere ?

around age 65 seems to be a cutoff point.
Fixed yer post.........
theres a lot of info from mainstream medical + its MOSTLY WRONG IMO!! healthy people could put modern medicine OUT OF BUSINESS. the food pyramid is upside down as you MUST control insulin the root of most diseases + that means LO carb. i could ramble on but Dr William Davis's book undoctored tells it all. the problem is you usually dont know until its TOO LATE, but theres a CAC scan that shows the condition of your blood vessels, eat Real unprocessed food + NO seed oils aka canola, corn + soy! lots of info on line thats bull but there are a few good sources! i especially like Dr Sten Ekburg as he explains WHY + HOW the body works!! 74 YO now + healthier than ever due to LO carb + inermittent fasting + 2 meals a day!!
Mediterranean diet
Some groups have culturally related health issues. Native Americans and Alaskan Natives are five times more likely than other ethnicities in the United States to die of alcohol-related causes. Southern populations and obese Americans especially have high rates of B/P and diabetic issues. May be related to diet. Other cultures have had issues also. African nations have chronic malaria and other tropical diseases. Just seventy-seven years ago last Saturday Japan had a huge, acute but unexpected issue with radiation sickness.
OTOH sometimes a disease can affect most nations like the current pandemic.

Fixx was a train wreck waiting to happen. He NEVER should have been running. His left coronary artery was all but completely blocked. And all 3 of his arteries were severely damaged. All the nuts and twigs he was eating did nothing for him. All exercise did was kill him.
If he never ran, and instead went to a cardiologist for a complete stress test, he very well might be alive today. It just makes you wonder when you see all these people jogging around and sweating, how many of them are doing more harm than good to themselves?
They also have much higher suicide rates. Life on a indian reservation is bad. Same with eskimos in the Arctic. It's why alcohol is banned in many eskimo villages and towns in rural Alaska...... And should be on indian reservations. They tend to abuse it far more than other people do. The crime rates are also much higher.
At the military clinics I worked in the orthopedic damage to the patients from all the running was quantifiable. Many of the marines I knew that retired had worn out joints and back troubles. Twelve mile 'humps' with a thirty pound back pack is the human equivalent of a twenty thousand mile OCI. Might just get you to the end of the warranty period.
After my quad bypass surgery, my surgeon came into the ICU when I was awake and said, "I want to tell you about four things you should do so you don't have problems like this in the future."
I asked him what those four items were. He said, "Find new grandparents."
He was telling me about the effect of heredity on my heart condition. I was riding fifty mile bile rides, walking 20-25 miles a week and watching my diet . Still had four blocked coronary arteries at age 55. Fortunately, with all the exercise, I apparently developed capillary blood flow around the blockages which really helped out.

You probably wouldn't have made it that far if you didn't lead a healthy lifestyle.
Running is not risk-free. Seeing obese guys hit the pavement hard makes me cringe. I've been running consistently since my early 20s and at 46 I have no damage from running 5 miles on most days. My joints and tendons are very good. I run mostly on grass and dirt rather than on pavement. I avoid my treadmill and use it only when outside running would be unhealthy due to heat or bad air quality. When possible I run barefoot. I am convinced that supportive shoes do more harm than good because pampered feet will weaken. Walking or running in full tactical gear and carrying a heavy pack is something else altogether: it's not healthy but a professional hazard.
