Interesting commentary Mike, and one I share in principle with
you. I picked up the gauntlet for personal well-being 35 years ago....and have
steadily improved since. While I have aged, it has been a graceful, linear
occurrence....manifesting through a gradual loss of lean muscle tissue/brute
strength and loss of flexibility (more specifically in the upper body
articulating joints). plus a marked reduction in short-term memory (most
especially regarding subject matter of moderate import). I have enjoyed
pronounced resistance to pathogenic insult, retained/increased my terminal
fatigue index (*stamina), my deductive and inductive mental talents, keen
eyesight----and optimism regarding human destiny. It would be remiss of me not
to endorse/recommend such a course as the one you have just proposed.
Sincerely, Brooks.
