Fruits and nuts.
They always die in the restroom. My advice is, when you get to 70, start doing your business outside.
> Harvard University defined healthy aging as reaching 70 without any chronic diseases <
70? Does Harvard classify someone who’s 70 as aged? I think 80 would be a much more reasonable number. I know quite a few 70-ish folks who could probably knock that author around in a boxing ring pretty good.
Make it to 80 without any major problems, and you’ve been either careful or lucky. Maybe both.
1 Corinthians 15:32
If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is there to me, if the dead rise not? “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”
Only eat when you are hungry.
Eat lots of meat.
Eat lots of butter soaked veggies.
Drink lots of beer.
And above all ignore these idiots that want you to
live like a Vegan.
In 1998, the USDA started spraying synthetic folic acid on wheat, rice etc and (some) other grains and began adding it to milk products. These are ‘fortified’ products and are usually labeled ‘Fortified’.
Unfortunately many people don’t tolerate synthetic acid very well, and its presence can lead to low level problems including elevated inflammation in the body. This, of course, is not healthy.
‘Organic’ grains/milk are not supposed to contain synthetic folic acid (sometimes they lie). To investigate your susceptibility to synthetic folic acid, try replacing grains and milk and dietary supplements with products which don’t contain it. Select products with natural folic acid instead. See if there’s any improvement. :)
beer, lots and lots of beer
“Keep moving” is terrific advice. I’m 88 and try to walk at least 30 minutes a day. My MD said I’m the healthiest person my age he’s ever seen.
Don’t eat butter, cheese, or any other artery-clogging saturated fat. No beef or pork, and use only organic olive oil for fat. Tonight I’m having Alaskan Salmon for dinner, with organic potatoes and veggies, sliced organic red peppers and tiny organic tomatoes fromTrader Joe.
Well, I reached that goal, it was after 70 that I began falling apart.
“researchers led by a team from Harvard University” = “vegans pushing their agenda with fake science”
You still have to eat vegetables. That’s the tradeoff.
Catfish, collard greens and red beans and rice.
My uncle said the same thing. Just keep moving. He was 93 when he felt bad while bailing hay in 100 degree heat. When they were finished he told my cousin he needed help getting off the tractor. They admitted him to the hospital after testing they told him there wasn’t much they could do. He could stay there and they would make him comfortable or he ciild go home. He said, “Wheres my clothes”. Kept saying he felt fine just a little weak. He passed a week later.
Oh good lord… “we did research and found if you follow the same diet we’ve been pushing for 50 years that have made people fat and diseased then you’ll live to be 70! Trust us… we do science!”
I’m still amazed that my Doughnuts, Vodka and Gummy Bears ‘diet’ hasn’t caught on; I keep applying for Federal grants! ;)
Just eat as, ‘close to the Earth’ as you can. Shop the ‘perimeter’ of your grocery store - avoid the inner aisles!
Don’t eat things that were ‘invented’ in either a government lab or in a Marketing Meeting on 5th Avenue in New York City and you’ll be just fine. ;)
These articles mirror the ones I read in England twenty years ago. A constant anti- meat pro- vegetarian drumbeat. The perfect diet for pasty faced weaklings.
Only about two months to go. So far so good.
Is steel cut oatmeal a good choice for whole grains?
My doc keeps telling us to eat protein...70-90 grams daily. We are over 70. It is a challenge to get that much protein.
Longevity runs in my Mother’s side of the family; Mom reached 84, Grandma reached 89, and Great Grandma reached 109! (Not a typo). - https://images.findagrave.com/photos/2018/347/35287039_32b19422-8357-40c2-8fc6-3b2aee21bf80.jpeg
Longevity is not as strong on my Dad’s side unfortunately. Dad reached 68 and Grandfather, who arrived from Poland in 1920, reached 81. I have been unable to find information for paternal geneology records in Poland.
I didn’t appreciate how unusual it is to have actually known and spoken to someone who had lived through the time of the Civil War. As a senior in high school, I attended my Great Grandmothers funeral in 1964.
