Do you have a study to support your idea that a supportive circle of friends contributes more to good health than eating a healthy diet?

I found his book and his website. I see he's trying to help people live healthier lives.
If your taste buds start to disappear I would think that different foods, healthier would be the direction to take. I couldn't stand to even cut blue cheese in the deli i worked in as a kid. Now I will pick that one first. The same with broccoli, brussel sprouts and beets. Wouldn't you agree that stronger flavors would appeal to older people as their taste buds fade? I think when we were little all the veggies came in a can for most of the year. I hated spinach or asparagus. |

I am trying to get funding for a study that will support the premise that some of my taste buds grew back from arguing with my friends on TOTV. I feel bad for doin' that.

You think they just make things up or start rumors. It's the Mayo Clinic, not TOTV!

I grew up in New Mexico eating hot chili daily. In high school a buddy and I used to have Jalapeo eating contests. One would think my taste buds would be shot by now but I ended up living much of my adult life where the food was pretty bland. Today when I am in New Mexico I find I can not handle the hot chili anymore so I stick with mostly mild, medium at most.
Moreover at age 73 I am still quite picky about coffee and wine so I must have enough taste buds left to discern their quality and characteristics. I still thoroughly enjoy what I eat and drink. Might it be a use them or lose them proposition?

We shouldn't count on genes to carry us through to a ripe old age. I've seen many elders in my family live to 106, 100, 97 and 89, but many of their children and grandchildren died at much younger ages. |

Remember, I wasn't the one who brought up the issue of "healthy diet" versus "happiness". Since when should it be one versus the other. Both have their place in a healthy lifestyle. |

It was about the health benefits of having a supportive circle of friends! I'm glad to see you post this message and acknowledge that a strong congenial support group can be just as beneficial as a healthy diet.
