Natural remedies: They could have stayed in good shape with exercise; had plenty of vit d from the sun; ate more olives, nuts, eggs, meats, and healthy fats; and avoided simple sugars.

Wrong thinking: The ancient Greeks did not have the faintest idea what low testosterone or sleep apnea were.

"Ancient wisdom" is a myth.
