I have always loved Betty White’s positive attitude. If I live to be a very old woman and I have great aunts that lived to be 98, I pray to God that I will have a positive attitude.
Once in an interview she said her secret was her positive outlook, a hot dog for lunch everyday and a cocktail 🍹! Gotta love her!
I suppose good health, mentally and physically is the greatest gift that we all hope to have. I would rather die now in my 60’s rather than suffer miserably.
Happy Birthday, Betty!
Money doesn't hurt, either, Alva.
She always said that she will live to be a 100. George Burns said the same thing and he lived to be 100.(If I remember correctly)!
Happy Birthday Betty White 🎂🎈🎉🎁🍷
recent discoveries in genetics and the human genome set has learned that at the beginning of every chromosome is a lot of junk code. It does nothing. Encodes for nothing. You inherit this.
but, each time a cell divides to be replaced, RNA (which acts as the reader) unzips the chromosome and begins the replication process...but it is like a malfunctioning copy machine, as it clips off a bit of that junk from the front. Do that enough and eventually RNA is clipping off needed coding because the junk is expended.
people who are really long lived start out with much longer chains of junk on the front end of their chromosomes, but..also do not do things which damage cells (causing the need for more replication) and do things that fight off free radicals (which cause the need for more replication).
finally....there is scientific proof that eating less extends life. Loads of studies prove this.
Happy Birthday Betty!
It was this- in the “Blue Zones”, where healthy and productive aging seems the norm rather than the exception, most healthy, productive older adults say that they have a reason for getting up in the morning!
I LOVE the simplicity of that statement, and I’ve observed in my own life that now, because I have my music firmly returned to my life, I typically wake up planning when in the day I’ll plan to practice. Doing that shapes the way the rest of my day’s plan will fit into place.
My “reason” is especially important to me because of the amount of time I spend in caregiving. Even when it seems impossible, can you find your reason?
