      I have known plenty of people who lived into there 90s.
      Has anyone you known has died?
      I recently counted all the people I know who died and I could remember about 400 people and most of them was old age a few where illness and accidental death and a small few where young people stupidity. And I am only 30 years old living out side a town of 4,000.

      Not really, it's all about if she has mental clarity , can see and if she is heathy enough to drive. I once knew a girl in her 20s who said she would rather get into an accident then get lost. I told her she could just pull into a parking lot and turn around and retake a turn if needed not brake the law with a dangerous illegal turn. Well the fool totaled her car. She was young with great heath eye sight but had bad sense.

    I am 94. I enjoy life because of the internet. I keep socially in contact with all my family and friends. I keep up with all that is happening nationally and internationally, and delve into different subjects every day. My opinions are shaped by having remembered events and people over a long period of time. I am grateful to my God for having the chance to experience all that I have. Good and bad. I sincerely believe this earthly experience is another great episode in our journey into the eternities. When I consider the six and one half billion of us on earth today, I am reminded that there are countless molecules that make up matter. I don't know how much longer I will live, but I do know I am a happy camper.

    I turned 90 in April, always ate anything I wanted, never dieted, drink moderately, lifts heavy things, still drives with good driving skills and keep very active, in an organization I started, but slowing down a bit. Was active in Politics after my husband passed away and accomplished a lot of things in my community as the first woman mayor and councilperson. I feel that keeping very active is partly why I reached 90. No one believes that I am 90 years old.

    @berthaantoinettamason9207 Год назад +195

    NOTES
    8:50 no smoking
    8:54 Exercise, 15 min/day, but 45 is better
    9:10 didn't have to be at once, so could be spread out in segments; didn't have to be intensive (walking/gardening works)
    9:22 Activities/hobbies (book clubs, socializing, board games): every hour increases longevity with no leveling off of that increase
    10:21 Vitamin E, A, C, and Calcium did nothing
    10:48 Moderate Alcohol (up to 2 drinks a day=10-15% reduced risk of death) is better than no Alcohol; Any kind
    11:25 Caffeine, 1-3 cups coffee a day, is better than more or none
    11:34 If aging, maintain or gain weight, but do not be obese or (12:00) underweight
    11:56 If young, don't be overweight or obese
    12:52 Start of Alzheimer's and Dementia part of video
    13:18 Brains are donated for research
    13:42 If you make it to 90, you'll still get Alz/Dementia eventually
    14:04 The risk of developing dementia doubles every 5 years, starting at the age of 65
    16:01 Dementia is diagnosed if there's 2 or more brain problems; there's no blood test/x-ray for it
    16:26 What is having dementia like?
    16:44 Diseases like Alzheimer's are definitively diagnosed in the brain after death
    16:57 Dr. Kim looks for plaques and tangles in the brain that show Alzheimer's
    17:32 Rest of team reviews 5 years of Bigalo's test results/videos, to try to find when he developed cognitive decline and the causes
    18:20 Team thinks it's Alzheimer's, and were wrong
    18:41 40% of the time, doctors are wrong about it being Alzheimer's
    18:49 Instead it was tiny microscopic Strokes called: Microinfarcts
    19:05 It's a tiny hole of missing tissue, and there are many (19:24) by the time the patient is dead
    19:18 Microscopic strokes have no symptoms at all
    19:35 They don't know how to prevent this, but low blood pressure is suspected as culprit
    19:51 Vitamins, Alcohol, Caffeine, Exercise do not prevent dementia
    20:06 High blood pressure at 90 reduces dementia (but don't have high blood pressure when young)
    20:42 Half of those who died with no dementia still had plaques/tangles (the cause of Alzheimer's)
    21:07 Possibilities of why this happens: plaques and tangles are not the indicator, person had plaques and tangles but developed something to get around showing it
    21:25 Now they're finding those without dementia who have plaques and tangles, while still alive, with a new type of pet scan
    22:08 yellow and red show amyloid plaques
    22:32 positive scan means greater risk of future cognitive decline
    22:38 They're watching Sid for what he has to prevent cognitive decline
    23:01 Dr. Kaywa thinks cognitive decline is like wrinkles: many causes
    23:30 Increasing plaques and microinfarcts eventually mean you develop cognitive decline
    23:39 Joking about Romance/sex
    24:57 Research is continuing on microinfarcts, and other specific types of dementia
    25:09 There are plans to identify protective/good genes
    25:30 wine, coffee, socialize, exercise, gain weight
    SUMMARY
    LIVE LONG:
    Exercise: 45 minutes throughout each day (even if walking/gardening) (15 minutes is still helpful, but not as much, and don't go above 45 minutes unless you want to)
    Hobbies/Socializing: as much time as possible
    Drink every day: 1-2 drinks of any kind of alcohol, 1-3 cups coffee
    No: Smoking
    No difference: Vitamins EAC or Calcium
    Weight:
    When young: average weight, don't be overweight or obese
    When old: average weight or overweight, don't be obese or underweight
    PREVENT DEMENTIA:
    When old: High blood pressure

      I heard dehydration can be a culprit of losing one's memory. Drink your water!

      In addition, I don't like the drinking of alcohol, OR caffeine. Both are poison and alcohol dumbs one down.👎👎

    One of the first things you notice for yourself in medical school when you first meet patients as a student is how poorly people treat their own health. Ignoring weight, eating habits, blood pressure, smoking, drugs, alcohol and especially denying one's own diagnoses like diabetes, thyroid disease, hypertension or pyorrhea is endemic. Being smart enough to take care of yourself when you're young is a big part of getting to be very old.

      @@prittyugly86 I agree that these seniors are successful business people and/or generationally wealthy. What bothers me is the study is of mainly white senior women. The study, although very vital, does little to address the issue of inequalities in the healthcare system nor the plight that many minority families face getting equally good healthcare for their loved ones. The silent generation and baby boomers have the highest life expectancy currently while Gen X and Gen Y are facing an economy left by their elders: the Silent Gen and Boomers that has robbed us of the luxury they are now living in. I'd like to ask some of these pensioners if they actually know how their former employees are getting on living off their Social Security and healthcare by Medicaid. How much do you want to bet they don't know nor have done anything substantial to help their worse off age mates.

    My grandmother lived to be 99. She lived on her own and cooked and kept care of her house. She was once a pack a day smoker but quit in her 70's. She finished each day with what she called a "highball" which consisted of Early Times and water over ice. She had a part time job just for fun doing accounting work using Quicken. She commented "all my friends are dead". She was still mentally sharp at her age. Three days after her 99th birthday, she died quickly.

If she was upset with you, she told you to your face. After she told you about yourself, she let it go. She could, and in some cases would, cook you a meal. She read the newspaper everyday and did crossword puzzles. She used full fat butter to cook and bake, no margarine. She had a daily routine, which included "early to bed, early to rise."

I walk 20 minutes a day and do all my own housework, still drive, use my computer daily, and do crosswords, etc. I have friends and we see each other regularly.

      That's so wonderful! I am 61. I also do not take any prescription drugs, never drank much alcohol, and no longer drink anything, never smoked, and I have been vegan for the past 13 years, vegetarian before that. Overall, very healthy, and rarely have need for a doctor or hospital. My issues are a nervous temperament, tinnitus, trouble sleeping, some mild depression (lifelong, inherited from other family members), and being single and childless when I always wanted a family. But I have pets that I adore (who are like children in a way), lots of nieces and nephews, and I am starting to see how huge a role it plays in ENJOYING your life - whatever the circumstances.
      As you say here, you have eaten more or less what you want, had huge loss in your life like anyone, yet you are healthy at this advanced age. It seems that you have lived quite a balanced life, and genetics factoring into it or not, I think the balanced life is the key to not only longevity but to a much higher quality of life.

      Speaking of "sleeping patterns and stress" I felt like I should say this:
      Everyone should breathe through their nose, taking silent, slow, small breathes into the belly while awake AND while asleep to prevent snoring and sleep apnoea, which puts strain on the heart and lungs. Mouth-breathing is very bad for health and also causes deformation of the face and therefore crookedness of the teeth.
      How many old people in nursing homes breathe through their mouths, putting unnecessary strain on their bodies?

Mom still drives, But he's very unsteady on her feet so hobbles about holding onto everything in her path. She seems to make a weekly run in circles to the pharmacy and doctors, although this may be serve more a function of giving her something to do as she's very healthy. I rather suspect those who have children may feel they want to stick around. Anybody else feel this way? I am loving my life living it the best I ever have - - practicing a simple life.

      Hey kinda random question; do you think family that has passed on can see or even communicate with us here, or do you believe the Christian Biblical perspective that it is something different, posing as the lost loved one? Would be so difficult to have to decide. I almost feel like I know I'm going to have to experience this at some point, and I'd be wise to have came to an educated vantage point before the chapter has found its crossroads with me, as emotionally shocking experiences rarely make a solidified source to find balance upon for a well-sought decision.

He was also a teacher, administrator and superintendent. He gives me GREAT advice. He is better than any therapist I could ever talk to! I asked him the secret to his longevity and he said, “I had a mild heart attack when I was 52, that was the turning point for me.” He said, “stress less, don’t sweat the small stuff and try not to care about things you can’t control.” It sounds simple, but this is what kills us, because we don’t generally live by it. I have a vintage Porsche that I tinker with and he does too! He drives it almost everyday. It’s almost as if we were aligned for some reason.

      I just saw her driving yesterday. She drives perfectly fine too. She's tough. He house is also immaculate. Fun fact: at 80 she got braces. When I saw them, my initial impulse was to laugh, but I was quickly awed by the faith she had. She still makes killer lemon bars and drops some off from time to time.

    My father is 62 years old and still plays full court basketball with men many a third his age. I went to one of his games and he collided with another player sending them both sprawling. The result was a dislocated shoulder. My dad, on the other hand, was uninjured.

      We think 62 is old because for lots of people that age they're already very aged but it doesn't have to be that way.

      At age 58 I looked and felt better than I ever had. I went dancing six nights a week for about 5-6 hours, got up the next day and went to work in a very physical job, I did this into my I’d sixties, I don’t consider 62 old at all, I’m pushing 78 now, and I have slowed down some but I’m out!

    My mother-in-law came to me when she knew she was dying. I had a new born at that time. They were on different schedules. I slept an hour here and there. As mad as it was, looking back in time, that is my fondest memory of the family. We shared stories.

    An excellent well done documentary on aging. My favorite part is the last few minutes interviewing the 92 and 94-year-old who are dating. This segment moved me to tears it was so spiritually beautiful yet filled with such great humor. I don't think the study went into much the importance of laughter as we age and keeping our sense of humor which is a huge reducer of stress. Thank you for this wonderful documentary.

      I was thinking the same! Love the last few minutes- definitely piqued my interest. LOL! I think they are onto something when they said, some are getting around the plaques and tangles in their brains, but unsure of what that is. Could it be intimacy (produces happy hormones) and a lot of laughter. You can have a full social life, but the quality may not be the same as being with a few, but close positive spirited people that you share a lot of laughter with.

    My grandma passed away just shy of her 103rd birthday! My grandfather (her husband) lived till 97. Mind you, those last years weren't the greatest, but they both were sharp as tacks at their passings, and had both lived amaaaaazing lives, and WE, their grandchildren, have reaped the benefits of those lives!

    Good lord. I’d rather die tomorrow than live until I’m ninety. I say this based on how I’ve seen the elderly treated in nursing homes. Maybe some offer proper care but the majority of times I’ve been to “old-folks homes” I’ve see neglected patients and foul-smelling facilities

      I got to take care of my Dad for the last five months of his life. As the first born son, it was a good time to bond - and it was a privilege to wait on him hand and foot. He was 85 - smoked and drank. The last 3 weeks were hard - but no nursing home for him. We spent the final week in a residential hospice, which made the end a lot easier on everyone. You had 10 more years with your mom than did I, and my sympathy goes out to you. There is never any "closure", but time makes it easier. There's nothing wrong with mourning... 🌷
