My mom, who doesn’t speak of ailments happened to mention she was a bit lonely.  Knowing her, if she mentioned it, she was feeling very lonely.  That day I put in place a plan for moving her in with me. She was in another state at the time. I talked to her about moving in with me once I had figured out the details.  She was so happy she cried!  She’s  been with me for a year and a half now.  My mom is not going to be left to wither in loneliness.  She has done so much for me all of my life.  Now it’s my turn to take care of her.  My dad in heaven would be so happy about this.  ❤

Thank you for mentioning Loneliness in old age.  I am 77yrs old and live in Australia.  We dont have a really strong 'family ethic' in this country, and young people today, in general, do not give the elderly (grandparents) a thought ... much too busy absorbed in their mobile phones ... and no longer interacting face to face.  It makes me so sad.  My youngest son was killed in a car accident years ago, but I still suffer from profound grief.  My friends disappeared in droves, not knowing how to cope with me, so shattered, I am no longer the person they knew.  I find myself thinking "what's the point of all this, why make the effort to live a long life".  HOWEVER, after recently being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, I began to watch YouTube videos on the subject and found Dr William Li.  What a lovely warm genuine human being.  Maybe,  I just might be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel, if I listen to your very valuable advice and try with what little energy I have left, to implement your suggestions.  Thank you so much for sharing your time and amazing knowledge so freely.  Forgive the long winded rant ... please xo

Great stuff. I am 92, and everyone else is getting old, I am not.

My mother walked in place 200 steps each morning and 200 steps each evening.   She never had dementia.   She was a Christian and read her Bible every day.   She lived with my brother and his wife in her last years.  She lived to be 105.

I lost my son also. I go speak to the homeless when I get lonely they have much love to give. They are not all drugs drinking Just broken people

Berries, Pomegranates, kiwis, raw carrots, broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, cabbage red & green, avocados. Tomatoes. ** Turmeric/Curcumin & Ginger root, powder. Cloves too.

I am 76 and have 8 dogs and even breed a couple of them. My dogs are such a big part of my life and I’m never alone or lonely. Also my 6 year old grandson stays with me on Saturdays while my daughter works. I stay active and eat very healthy, also have a lot of faith in God. 🙏

Add what to your coffee?

I'm a care giver to a lady who is 103.  She still walks (with a walker) and is great to visit with.

Menopause stripped me bare—emotionally, physically. But in that rawness, I found authenticity. I stopped pretending, stopped hiding. The woman who emerged was more real than ever

In India.the people talk to the neighbours and friends in the apartment block . We have to start the conversation even if its a lift boy or the service people or neighnours . Then they reciprocate ..soon it becomes a habit.Soon they share their worries and happiness too. Dont hesitate. COMMUNICATE .TAKE THE FIRST STEP AND SEE THE CHANGE .

In my 1st grade school, a man came by often & stuck head in door & said hi. We waved. Teacher said he was 105 & lived in apt.and walked 5miles everyday & said hi to people. That set my mind to people living to 100. I've since met/known lots of late 90's/early 100 people. Some are out doing what they want, others not so fortunate. But i always assumed i'd get old like them.

Every time I travel overseas, within a matter of days I always felt better and I put it down to the environment mostly.  

Until I learned that no one puts all of the garbage ingredients into their food that we do in the US.  They don’t use glyphosate, all of the cows are grass fed.  On and on.   Greek and Mediterranean are so very extra ❤

As a boomer, I never heard 10,000 steps until the last couple of years. When I first heard it, I thought “too bad if you ski, roller skate, swim, bike ride etc”. All the stuff I did as well as walking everywhere. I’m planning on being a centenarian. Fingers crossed because it’s in our Creators hands no matter what we do.

They say if you have anxiety and anguished and overcome with grief or stress..just put your shoes on! Youll walk SOMEWHERE. move your body!!!

This is what was done until the early 1900s. The Rockefellers changed our medical system and now they think they have discovered something that has existed long before us.

when people rave about oatmeal’s health benefits without mentioning the need for organic or glyphosate-free options, it can feel like they’re glossing over a real concern.

Note: 5000-7000 steps are probably okay to be generally healthy

I live in an independent living bungalow for oldies - the lady who lived in my place before me was 103 when she finally went into a home - and she lived till she was 106 - her sister also lived that long.

Dad ate porridge and bananas every morning. Lived to 98, but was healthy and active to the end. I do the same, but now make overnight oats with chia, berries and kefir.
