Hi old-timers, 86 here, and thriving. Doctor asked what exercise I get. Said I live in a 4 story house with 9 and 10 foot ceilings. My partner’s room is on the 4th floor, my room and the bath on the third floor, kitchen and laundry in the basement. Main entrance 1sr floor. Mostly I am going up and down stairs all day. I started using supplements over 50 years ago, adding new ones as minor health issues arose, and with Google checking: “nutrition and supplements for xxxxxx health issue” My most recent search was for supplements to help cataracts. This after my doctor said I would need surgery soon. I found 5 supplements I was not taking, and after 3 years of adding them, my eyes are 75% better. During grass growing season, I go to my beach cottage once a month for a week to cut the fairly large lawn with an older gas mower, the walk behind and push through thick grass kind. Fresh air, sunshine, and exercise.
For general health, check out Astaxanthin. I was taking it for my eyes, but when loved ones got cancer I discovered it made cancer cells die young, and normal cells live older. My friend took me with her when she had a consult with an oncologist before starting chemo. She wanted to know if it would be good to take Astaxanthin. Oncologist had never heard of it. My friend has been doing a lot of on line research and she says a lot of work is being done studying Astaxanthin for several different health issues.
One more note, it helps I have a sweetheart on the 4th floor. Here’s to happy longevity.
A woman I knew years ago just died at 102. She still looked great.
Her advice: Eat mostly vegetables and fruit and exercise at least an hour a day.
My friend Kathryn does that. Total vegan and gets in 3 - 5 miles a day. She’s younger than we are, but I’m quite sure she’ll live a very long life.
Lover on 4th floor and no elevator!
You got it made my friend. 👍👍
I had a sweetheart too, but he was an idiot about food and supplements and died several years ago. He was several years younger than I am.
Eat more wild caught Sockeye salmon!
