The reason I object to blanket statements about "happiness" or "a circle of friends" providing the best plan for longevity, is that it depends on the context of what the group is about.
The following people all had their circle of friends: Osama Bin Laden The terrorists who destroyed the Twin Towers Saddam Hussein Hitler Charles Manson |

Too bad it doesn't seem to work with Alzheimer's. My father lost his sense of smell about 20 years before he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Now it's said that loss of smell can be an early warning sign of this disease. In the case of Alzheimer's, I doubt that his nose changed, it was his brain that was changing. So now I wonder if loss of taste might also be an early warning sign of Alzheimer's. It may be that the food one tastes just doesn't register in the brain. They say that loss of balance can also be an early warning sign of dementia. |

You want something on the other end of the range? Okay, I got it hot off the press from yesterday's Daily Sun. The article started on the front page and continued on page A7. The heading: "Up for the Challenge" The article concerns the ever increasing national weight issue and the weight issue in The Villages. On page 7 it stated that the biggest obstacle for villagers is the many neighborhood potlucks and potlucks at club functions. The article stated that, last year, USF researchers surveyed 144 Villagers and found that social eating is a common and sometimes excessive occurrence. In the article, a Villager was quoted as saying, "There's food and drinks with everything you do." My point is: One's circle of friends can be a big influence on one's behavior, for better or worse. |

I've been looking for some good recipes using bird nests, tofu and cardboard. Can anyone suggest a source? (Google was no help at all).

We are in agreement! Isn't it great there are so many healthy recreation activities in The Villages? And also many weight loss clubs and healthy eating clubs. However I was talking more about friends that provide love and emotional support when it is needed. A strong congenial support group of friends is one of the most important factors in healthful living as we grow older.

What is the reason to live longer without a television or a computer or some chubby friends?

Some people want to live longer because they realized that there are others who they have not annoyed yet.

Most all of my friends in their seventies and eighties and nineties are in pretty good health. I have one friend in his eighties who is a dragon boat team member. One in her 90's plays very good golf every week with us, Another fellow who will be 80 this coming May runs five miles every day and his wife does ballet and jazz and clogging three times a week. They all have dined on pie at my house.
