My Grandad, used to tell a story...
Seems the old guy went to his doctor,
The Sawbones just shook his head looking concerned, he said
"You have to give up drinking, rich - spicy foods, sweets and all carbohydrates" (he included smoking as well as rough housing and chasing women )
The Old man asked " Doc If I do all that will I live longer ?"
The Doc responded " Well no, but it will seem longer "
