Anti-Aging

Scientists, in their white coats and holding test tubes, have made a discovery that could dramatically slow the aging process.  It involves an antibody treatment against a naughty protein, IL-11, that likely causes inflammation, particularly as we age.  Unfortunately it is not currently available for human use.  Rats!  But it does work in mice!  So if you know any mice….

Meanwhile, an anti-inflammatory diet, getting regular sun exposure to optimize vitamin D production, and engaging in consistent exercise can reduce inflammation.  The diet…. the usual fruits, veggies, oily fish, nuts, seeds, whole grains and legumes.  Bacon is conspicuously missing from this list.

Light Up Or Leave Me Alone

Silver Sneakers shared this on their website.  “According to a report issued by the U.S. Surgeon General, feeling socially disconnected can increase your risk of early death as much as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.  Technology may serve as a solution for those who live alone or can’t leave the house because of mobility issues. According to one small study, people ages 60 and older who were more fluent in social media tended to experience less loneliness. There are so many ways to connect. You can chat with someone on the phone. You can join clubs. You can go to groups. You can use technology. You can get on Zoom. You can simply turn to someone else and ask them how their day is going.”

Probably should avoid those hookah bars as a place to meet people.

We’re Ordering You To Be Happy

The rankings are out and Finland was once again rated to be the happiest nation. Good old US of A did not make the top ten. As an aging Boomer, we”re wondering if national healthcare has a bit to do with it since all the top ten countries share that benefit. Less to worry about. But we’re not scientists. Meanwhile, get happy or else!

Countdown To Dry January

Dry January.  Sounds straight-forward.  But we’ve been doing it WITHOUT AN APP!!  How insane!  Here’s an app from the land of London Dry Gin called Alcohol Change UK.  And it’s free!  One feature tells us how much money and calories we’re saving.  And theirs badges to celebrate progress!!  What more could we ask for.  Seriously, fitness apps and such really do help.  So we’re going to try it!  Until then, Cheers!!

The Brady Bunch House Is Back On The Market!!

Per People magazine, the iconic Brady Bunch home in L.A.—which HGTV bought for $3.5 million in 2018 and turned into a replica of the classic show’s set on A Very Brady Renovation—is back on the market for $5.5 million.

Why is this important to Buzzed Boomers?  It isn’t.

Boosting Memory

Not getting enough flavanols — natural compounds found in fruits, vegetables and even chocolate — could be driving that age-related memory loss, according to U.S. News.  “This is the first time we can conclude that flavanols are acting as a nutrient for the aging brain,” said Dr. Scott Small, a professor of neurology and director of the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons.  Besides berries and dark chocolate, other flavanol-containing foods include apples — particularly the peels — grapes, citrus fruits, cocoa and green tea. Good vegetable sources of flavanols are onions, hot peppers, kale, broccoli, rutabagas and spinach, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

“I believe that you could consume enough flavanols to prevent yourself from being deficient,” Small said. However, he urged people not to focus on getting this nutrient through chocolate.

“There’s no way you can eat enough chocolate to have this benefit. In fact, if you tried, you would die first,” Small said.

But what a way to go!

Who Shot J.R.?

Buzzed Boomers will remember what a hubbub arose when J.R. was shot on the show Dallas.  Whodunnit?  That was 43 years ago today.

M*A*S*H Martini

On this day in 1983, the last episode of M*A*S*H aired and was watched by about 106 million people.  Hawkeye and Trapper often enjoyed a martini made from their still but occasionally they went out for a drink.

“I’d like a dry martini, Mr. Quoc, a very dry martini. A very dry, arrid, barren, desiccated, veritable dustbowl of a martini. I want a martini that could be declared a disaster area. Mix me just such a martini.”

Vanishing Waiters

With the effects of Covid, drive-through fast-food, and now automation reducing staff at sit-down restaurants, true professional waiters and waitresses are getting harder to find.  If you can find an experienced, professional at a steakhouse or even a traditional diner, savor the experience.  

Wine self-service machines are a trending thing. Why have servers at all?  We’ll all just get up from the table and get our meal out of a machine when our phone notifies us.

There is nothing like a professional guiding your dining experience.  Enjoy it and appreciate it whenever you can.
