This life expectancy in the US is buoyed by a scale of procedures that is mind-boggling. There are over 500k coronary artery bypass graft procedures each year (take an artery from your leg and graft it on your heart because your heart artery is failing). Just as many are on dialysis because their kidneys are failing. I am not trying to suggest that these people should not be helped with these life-saving treatments, I am merely underscoring the extreme lengths that the american medical system goes to compensate for a deadly western diet pattern at the root of these ailments.
I highly recommend shifting diet towards mostly whole or minimally-processed plant-based foods, along with consuming animal products and highly processed foods sparingly to age more gracefully.
