Strategy: Develop habits that stave off negatives of olderness

The following link is to an NPR story about a Mediterranean style diet's effects on both physical and mental aging.  This relates back to our strategy of developing positive habits now (eating good stuff vs bad stuff) that will tend to lessen the risks or effects of "losing it" down the road.

However, when you listen to this, ask yourself, "What about MEN?"  The study consisted of all women.  Are men so hopelessly lost that we cannot walk away from our steak and potatoes?  Is there no hope that we can keep up with our smart-eating women, so we might as well continue to clog our arteries and die with a beer in our hands and a smile on our faces?

Maybe all these 90 year old smart gorgeous active women will have realized that life is better without those 90 year old decrepit smelly annoying men constantly in need of..........what?  Something?  They don't even know.  They just need.

As for me:  "Mademoiselle, s'il vous plait,  Je voudrais un salad nicoise." (See: "Strategy - use your brain, learn a language.")
