On any article or video the golden starting point for any advice for aging people seems to be 40.

So what do you reckon?

At 40, do I have one foot in the grave?

Personally, I feel fitter and healthier in my 40s than I did in my 20s. I think I'm pretty cool and youthful looking, also. Most of the frequent seasonal illnesses don't happen any more. All of my little bodily niggles have pretty much melted away.

I still have 11% body fat.

Or our standards for aging so low, as we don't know how to age in the West without falling apart by the age of 30?

And how do you feel for your age?

& other preexisting health conditions. Was listening to some black women preach about how systematic racism within the healthcare system is causing black women to die at higher rates than White women. Then I looked into it and yes its entirely true but then I looked into the causes and there's a direct correlation between the rates of black women dying in during or post pregnancy and underlying health conditions as black women have significantly higher rates of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, heart disease, hypertension, STDS all of which cause dangerous problems during and post pregnancy.

So in conclusion the higher death rate related to pregnancy is not due to systemic racism or racism among health care professionals. No the problem is self inflicted by black women and poor lifestyle choices. Black are going to have to accept responsibility for the problem.
