It doesn't sound like you have much to worry about PP, but you have raised an interesting point.

If man wasn't exposed to "modern ways" his average resting pulse would be simillar to yours, his cholerol would be about 3, and his bp would actually be lower than yours (about 90/60).

The machine is set to flag up anything outside a "Joe Average" range.

Joe average in your neck of the woods (apart from the Muslei belt of Bowdon), can't cook proper food, is exposed to all sorts of rubbish, texts people instead of riding/running/rowing round to their house, and eats Kentucky Fried Chicken. (They do taste good I have to admit.)

Joe Average doesn't work out and swim/row millions of lengths, it sounds like you're normal and the rest of the world is a bit out of sorts.

Enjoy your longevity, and don't try and medicalise a problem when it 'aint a problem. If your doc says your ok, accept it.
