My cholesterol could be lower but no health issues otherwise. I fly with a lot of guys younger than me who eat M&Ms the whole flight, go out for crap food and never work out, and find they have no energy.
If only we had some science to back the idea that human performance is very poor when they’ve been up for 25 hours...
