Here's my recipe for staying healthy Prim e Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad participating in a cycling event in Hulu Langat in July 199 I HAVE been asked repeatedly regarding my ability to function at this late age. I feel obliged to explain about my experience even if it is not based on scientific study. Frankly I don’t know how I am what I am. All I can say is that, I have been fortunate in not suffering from the diseases that shorten one’s life. I did have a heart attack but I survived. Heart attacks are not as fatal as they used to be. Whatever we may do to stay healthy, if we are assailed by these fatal or debilitating diseases, a long healthy life cannot be expected. Certainly, we cannot be active and function like healthy people. It is one thing to live long, but it is another thing to live long and well.
