Follow your healthcare team’s advice about diet and exercise. Staying healthy can help stave off any more illnesses related to old age.

I admit that this is something I agree with, but never do. I don’t have an excuse and I don’t plan on giving one. It boils down to one thing and for me it’s being motivated. I guess what would work for me is having someone there to push me. But I have to warn you, I'm a very stubborn guy. So what I do to stay as healthy as I can, or at least feel well enough to go on with my day, is control my diet and eating habits. Yes at times it gets a bit difficult to do, but for me it kind of works. Now I'm not saying that this is something you should do; what I'm telling you is to find a physical activity, or sport that you can get into that will help you stay healthy. Because if you find something to do that you love, especially if it's something that can help you stay healthy, then you will continue to stay active in that activity. I guess I still trying to find my activity or sport that I can immerse myself in that can help me stay healthy.

I do promise you one thing though, when I find that activity, or sport. I will make sure to continuously be active in that activity. For those of you who have found your sport, or activity all I was saying is keep it up because you remain an inspiration to everyone especially those with disabilities may feel that they still can't do anything.
