As we get older., do we get better? Well, some of us (me) certainly do...

 

Aging is inevitable. But how you age? That’s largely up to you. One thing that’s always fascinated me is the massive difference in how people age. Some people seem old at 60. Others are still vibrant and sharp at 85. The difference isn’t just genetics. It’s habits, mindset, and lifestyle choices compounded over decades.

If you’re over 70 and can still do the things on this list without struggle, you’re in rare company. You’re aging better than the vast majority of your peers.

These aren’t about running marathons or doing CrossFit. They’re about fundamental markers of physical, cognitive, and emotional health that predict longevity and quality of life.

 

1) You can get up from the floor without using your hands

2) You still learn new things regularly

3) You can hold a conversation without bringing everything back to yourself

4) You sleep well most nights

5) You have genuine friendships, not just acquaintances

6) You can adapt to changes without spiraling

7) You move every day without it being a battle

8) You can laugh at yourself

If you’re over 70 and you can do most or all of these things, celebrate it. You’re not just lucky. You’ve earned this through choices you’ve made over a lifetime. You’re aging better than the vast majority of people your age. And that’s worth acknowledging and appreciating.

 

Keep doing what you’re doing. Keep moving. Keep learning. Keep connecting. Keep adapting. Keep laughing. Because the goal isn’t just to live longer. It’s to live well for as long as you live. And based on these markers, you’re absolutely crushing it.

Do you have gout like I do?

If so, this is the best answer for that pain...

 

Friend of mine turned me on to this about 20 years ago when I first started feeling

 the symptoms of gout in my big right toe. Long story short, I haven't had a gout

 attack in at least 10 years - maybe more. The black cherry concentrate does one

 thing, and only one thing. It eliminates Uric Acid in your system - that's all it

 does. And it works better  than any drug any doctor can prescribe. If you have

 gout, buy a bottle and take two a day, that's all. See for yourself if it doesn't

 work. Trust me - it does. Click the picture.
