Golden pond ping.
I have also found a sure-fire substance that extends youth into old age...it’s called sweat!

Hmmmmm. So the secret to long life is to eat nothing but bagels soaked in rat vitamins?
I take a lot (but by no means all) of that crap in my “morning handful” and “evening handful” of supplements.
If this proves true, it’s good to know I’m not ENTIRELY a crank about this.
So the fountain of youth is a bagel? Who knew. Do you get to use cream cheese?
Is there something you can do to make it yummy? LOL
I take a lot of “supplements” too....because....I had a grandfather die in his sleep of a massive heart attack at age 51....and he was skinny.....then I read an article about a really old guy who took lots of supplements that helped him stay young...and figured...well...it won’t hurt , what’s the worst thing that could happen?! There are those that say you “excrete” too much....but, I bank on the fact that SOME Of those supplements are grabbed up by my cells and used.
A biologist friend once told me the following: if you want to slow down aging, eat less. Every time your cells divide, mistakes are made. These mistakes accelerate as as you age. If enough mistakes are made, it results in cancer. If you want to slow this process down, eat less.
So I should take my vitamins when I eat my bagel.
If you follow that to its logical conclusion, eat nothing and you'll live forever.
Be careful . . . I had someone die at 51 of a heart attack also, and he took a lot of supplements, including megadoses of vitamin c. Turns out megadosing vitamin C can cause inflammation (inflammation within viens as a doctor explained it to me is a cause of heart attack).
So . . .
Moderation in all things, including supplements . . .
So the health food stores were right all along?
That said — I sprinkle ground flax seed on my veggies and salad — and really think I will start doing cod liver oil.
I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming and crying like the passengers in his car.
I used to make my own onion bagels.
But I’m not that adventurous anymore. Maybe I need to start back. :-)
I don’t take much Vit C.....the only thing I take a lot of is Vit D3....the rest is just a bunch of minimal amts to cover the spectrum like this article talks about.
I’ve heard it a hundred times, but that joke still cracks me up.
