Would you rather live slow and die old?

I don't think this saying is so straightforward anymore. If you live too slow you end up with mental problems and you're practically a vegetable.

That's the same thing as being dead to me so I'll take my risks.

This is not even remotely true , its about balance , being the correct weight , ingesting NON processed food , constant exercise ( throughout life ) , correct stimulation , and the right amount of sleep , if your fitness is good , your mental fitness is great , its all about ( surprise surprise ) holistic living , and to break it down.. Great Food / Exercise / Community.. sleep will follow from great exercise.

So its not at all about living " slow " ( slowly ) , its about living with substance and purpose.

Now , lets be clear , I was same as you " go hard or go home " , I've done all that stuff , but , your attitude , as mine did , needs to change , and it will if you live long enough , my plan is to live to 104 , and I honestly believe I will , with full mental function , if you do correctly this number may go to 120 ..

As long as USA Diet is not part of it , you cannot be over weight , this puts pressure on every organ , nor can drug use.. you may get away with an e on occasion , but your body can't deal with constant. Same with TRT and ROIDs.

I had a grandmother who lived to 102. She could still do yard work and was spray until the last year of her life.

I had an aunt who just turned 100. She did not even use a walker before she was 98. She lived in a townhouse untils he was 98 as well.

Well by golly you live in a place where you have options and are able to act on them.

There's always options.
