While I’ve owned four dogs (and a number of cats and a parrot) during my life, I don’t have one now. Yes, I like yogurt (used to make my own). The schedule is yogurt in the morning, chocolate in the afternoon and wine in the evening. It would be terrible to have yogurt in the evening and wine in the morning (chocolate is great any time).
Okay, Occam. Maybe I’ll pass it on to our local radio station. “The Zoomer Report: A study has shown that some people who owned a parrot and made their own yogurt can remain wise-asses until very late in life…”
You have them locally, but I bought a big bag of frozen blueberries, cooked them with a little sugar and use a 1:1 mix of them and yogurt each morning. BBs definitely contribute to W-Aness.
The truth about exercise is out. It has been for 100 years or longer. I don’t know about the effects upon aging. Or specific disease prevention(other than the fact that I believe it has been proven that good cardio-pulmonary exercise is good for your heart, blood pressure, diabetes prevention, vascular health etc, etc…)
I think there’s no dout that exercise is also extremely good for mood and the ability to allow your body to carry out strenous, healthy work longer and more efficiently with less fatigue, more safely. This could also include playing with your children, climbing stairs, cleaning your house, yard work etc.
Let’s not forget weight maintenance.
I excercised about 3 times a week on an elliptical trainer for 1/2 hour and with weights for about 15 minutes for several months, and then had a heart attack while excercising. It makes you wonder. Now I do much the same, but am eating more wisely, and hope for the best.
having just come home after five days of hanging out at a hospital with my lady who was stricken with Diverticulitis
I am recovering from the same. I ended up with a bag, which is a nuisance. Fortunately it is schelduled to come off May9th.
As far as excersize, I am in my mid60s and walk quite a bit. I enjoy this because I still live in the town I grew up in and it gives me a chance to talk to people and see what is going on. I also stop at different local bars, which are much more fun than the senior citizens centers. On an average walk I do between 4-8 miles. Even with the medical problem I have been able to get ou a few times in the last couple of weeks.

Occam
OK, ignorant question here, but you’re a good one to answer it, Occam… I’ve often wondered, given that many seniors take heart/blood pressure meds, if they can get a way with drinking a glass of wine or two. My grandparents didn’t drink and neither does my mother (67) and her sister (72). I wouldn’t expect anyone in my aunt’s condition to drink though- she’s had so many TIAs that her mind is gone and she’s in a nursing home, not expected to recover enough to take care of herself even in an assisted living apt. My mother, like my grandparents, takes blood pressure meds, as do many her age and older. If you don’t take any meds at your age, I’d say you’re one lucky… So… the question is, if you’re on heart/blood pressure meds, how does wine mix with them? Is it safe to do that?
From Scientific American
“The bottom line: couch potatoes may applaud the exercise naysayers but the bulk of research suggests that workouts make us physically and perhaps mentally healthier.”
No, the bottom line is that there is a correlation between people who exercise and are healthier. It may very well be that people who are healthier to begin with, are more likely to exercise.

Are you serious? Or do you just relish the role of contrarian?
