Sounds like a great book. In many eastern cultures, age has been held in high regard for millenia already. In Europe and the US, we have created a cult of youth – and I think we are missing out on appreciating a lots of good things that come with age.

Comment on Can you Walk and Chew Gum at the Same Time? by L.S.

L.S. — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 01:26:10 +0000

Geez… I can’t believe how many people refer to this phrase, and use it as if it was actually meant to be. The actual phrase is “…its like trying to TALK and chew gum at the same time…”, in reference to people who take on too much when multi-tasking. The phrase was misquoted by then-President Gerald Ford as “WALK and chew gum”, and became fodder for several late-night talkshow monologues. But it really took on its own life when it was parodied by Chevy Chase that weekend on Saturady Night Live, in a skit that poked fun by having the Presdident start to chew on a stick of gum, and then suddenly start tripping into things, unable to walk. At the time, Ford had suffered a few mishaps in public, and his inherent clumsiness had become a weekly comedy bit for Chase, who portrayed the hapless prez.

Like so many catch phrases, the reference has been lost with time, and replaced by defintions that seem to make sense. I found the following posted online:

Walk and chew gum (at the same time)
– to be able to do more than one thing at a time. Example: “Officials say they have to plan for all kinds of possibilities, that they have to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time.”

I have to be honest; I miss the days when this phrase served as veiled ridicule…

“Gee, you’re so smart. I bet you’re one of those guys that can walk and chew gum at the same time.”

Comment on When Retirement Leads to Memory Decline by Beverly

I guess “reduced” activity is a good thing here…but I didn’t read the entire article as I’m tired as #@!%.

Coffee, unless you make it yourself with spring or filtered water is basically a cup of concentrated fluoride.
There are many form s of sugar, some beneficial. Most likely what goes into coffee is not beneficial. That is, especially these days with our current loads of toxicity via “food for the rabble” (just coined).
Bottom line here reflects the Systems’ bottom line as in go for it and to hell with consequences.

As much as I Love coffee, I haven’t had a cup in years…
Try Cacao nibs or powder. But if you’ve digestion problems there may be a small issue in easy elimination.

Devil in the details….

Comment on Challenging the Nature & BBC Brain Games Study by Abdominal Fitness

I saw part of that show and was very astonished about the “results” as so many other studies show that you need to keep you brain busy and engaged to stay fit and “young”.

I am sure that, like any kind of training, you will get positive results when engaging your brain on a regular basis and challenging it with new tasks. Like the muscles in your body need regular exercise that varies as well.

My conclusion? Don’t believe something is true just because it was shown on TV!

Comment on How Our Memory Works by Tunji

Brain fitness programs would greatly benefit from good nutrition. Unfortunately, most fitness programs do not, or do not emphasize nutrition enough. If the overall health of the body depends on good nutrition, it follows then that adequate nutrition would be a big factor in brain health.

A lot of programs also only target older folks. Knowing that we only use a small percentage of our brain power, won’t it be of great benefit for younger people to learn early how to tap into a greater capacity of their brain power?
