Avoid processed foods entirely. 65% in carbohydrates with high fiber and whole foods. Choose your fat in your low-fat diet carefully with high amounts of monounsaturated and Omega 3 fats, particularly EPD and DHA. Boost your protein to 20% minimum, as protein digestion is not as good in old age, and there is significant muscle loss.

I am a voracious reader and also enjoy writing. I often have a very different point of view than the popular one. I do see value in debate, and thought it might add to the public debate on controversial issues if I were to express my contrarian opinions. I also started keeping my poems recently (I've written little pieces my whole adult life but never kept any); and I've been a photographer now for over 25 years. So I will be adding an occasional poem and hopefully interesting photograph to the blog along the way, just to spice things up.
Totalitarians
The woke crowd are would-be totalitarians. They demand that you think and act in a precise way — of course, THEIR way.
We see this happening all around us in the US with the suppression of freedom of speech and the control imposed by the woke media.
Back to the future, back to 1984.
Woke
Wake to woke. Please.
Civil War Again
The US is in a not so dormant civil war where the woke types are ardently against conservatives, who are equally dogmatic. There is no reconciliation between their discordant views.
US Destroys You
US foreign policy has destroyed yet another country: Ukraine.
We were the good guys in WW2, but ever since the villains.
Billions
They think the known universe is something like 14 billion years old. That could conceivably mean that somewhere out there is a civilization that has been around for 1 billion years.
Our modern civilization on Earth is only about 3000 years old (homo sapiens for 1 million years) — compare that to a civilization that has existed for 1 billion years. We have come a long way technologically in only 3000 years, but just think how advanced a civilization would be that has existed for 1 billion years. Such a civilization would regard us as “advanced” as mere bacteria.
US and Russia
No good reason why Russia couldn’t be an ally of the US, except for the virulent Cold War, anti-Russia mentality of the State Department.
The stupid foreign policy of the US government is turning Russia into a mortal enemy — the one country in the world with a nuclear threat that could destroy our country. Is that wise?
Ageless
While the body ages and shrivels, what’s in your heart always remains the same.
Hearing
Was hearing an evolutionary adaptation?
Two Roman Standards
Two Roman standards that are worth considering: carpe diem and amor fati. Carpe diem is the easy one, amor fati the difficult one.
