I’m on 5 daily and also fat. Good times.

Based on how fat Louisiana is, that number should be higher down there

Not counting my fiber and vitamins, I have 8 daily prescriptions.

What do you think is keeping the boomers upright, chief? It isn't healthy choices.

I take five in the morning and two at night. The two at night are to help me sleep.

No one believes the information in your post because you did not include a link to the study. Go frick yourself.

makes sense honestly.
0 for me or wifey. Yet, we continue to pay more and more for insurance to carry the shitty members of society.

It's a graph from the study.
Why would I post a link to a study that simply says what's represented in the graph?
You're obese, aren't you?

Not quite, but what I am is a scientist with a PhD, which you clearly are not. Studies include a bunch more information than the figures within them, most importantly in this instance information about the methods and subjects.

I take 1 scrip for blood pressure but it’s a low dose. Only other thing I take is Prilosec daily for heartburn.

In fairness, a birth control pill counts as this.

Does Hims count?

I take two. One for blood pressure (high even when I was a teen in great football and track shape) and one for generalized anxiety disorder (typical for high IQ.. not bragging).
My wife takes a handful. Our first kid fried my wife's thyroid, so she takes multiple pills for that, along with birth control.

I have to take an immune suppressant because my immune system is so Alpha it thinks that my other organs are its enemy. Yeah me.

My nephew just told me a story about the mother of his best friend. He said that when he met her she was on a host of medicines, walked with a walker, and slept in a hospital bed in their living room. She was about 100 pounds overweight. She was in her early forties.
She lost her medical coverage and could no longer afford the medicines. In the next two years she lost all of that weight, her various sicknesses and pains all went away, and she no longer needed a walker.
It’s been 20 years since then. The lady is in her 60’s now, fit and trim, plays tennis and remarried. Her whole life turned around because she was forced off all the prescription drugs that some dumb doctors had prescribed. (I want to clarify that I have a lot of respect for the 25% to 35% of doctors who are highly competent.)

You should thank the American taxpayer for keeping you upright.

It’s the OT, not a dissertation.

I always assumed this included women and birth control would increase the results

I’m 75,wife is 73.We’re on no prescription meds.
My primary Dr.said I’m a unicorn,one of his few pts.my age that isn’t on a handful of meds.
We both take supplements,me more than her.
I think that has helped me a lot,my primary Dr.agrees.
Another thing is I won the genetic lottery so to speak.I came from a large family and there has been almost no heart trouble or cancer.
My wife’s family is not so lucky,there has been a lot of colon cancer in her family so she gets a colonoscopy every 3 years.
Genetics is a big part,I have known and know families currently that have been ravaged with heart trouble or diabetes or cancer.
Were very lucky.
