Mental and auditory acuity, and aging


Mental and auditory acuity, and aging

Once we hit 60 or concerns change. Besides the obvious ones, I wonder if our ability to stay in the moment and enjoy music lessons. Heaven forbid.

I thank my mother for opening my eyes to healthy food as a boy. I’m 70 at the moment, and as mentally sharp as ever. I remember eating alfalfa sprouts instead of lettuce. I can still hear the jeers at cafeteria, “Look, he’s eating grass.” I smiled secretly and watched them eat their white bread ham sandwiches and guzzle their Cokes.

I know this is off our usual topics, but after a lifetime of ‘not indulging’, and researching health, I’d be happy to share a few things that really help to keep my mind sharp. I don’t feel it is correct to name the regime or products here. If you’d like to know, just PM me. I’m not affiliated with any of the products. I’m hoping admin will allow this.

Yea, learning our limitations. Worked too hard in the yard and man am I in pain. :)

So, a bit of Harry James and life is good. 

I evolved to be broth eating vegetarian after hitting 50. Instead of meats or cold cuts I simply use bone broth preferably Vietnamese style

👍😀. Thanks for sharing… stay well. My partner is not well. I need to stay nearby… love my time with my system as well.

I'm 83 and still hear quite well but obviously not as well as 30 years ago and am still mentally sharp and in good health. But here's the kicker for the past 15 years I have been single and as a result have had the worst dietary habits, very few vegies and too much fast food. I guess I've been lucky so far but you should wait a few years beyond 70 before crediting diet with good health. 

Guys, diet and genetics are not mutually exclusive.

Diet affects gene functions...
