Well there goes my excuse. New research shows age from 20 to 60 doesn’t really slow metabolism that much. So being more active and eating better can help!!

I celebrated with a chocolate-filled croissant (chocolate being a vegetable).

I'm surprised this took so long to get wide circulation, since it came out quite a while back. Unfortunately, I'm a couple years past the upper end of that, but I have nothing to complain about other than no longer being able to eat with reckless abandon.

Kind of related, a British broadcasting short video about “bio hackers” trying to reverse the aging process .. but also some real life tips (i.e. of the diet and exercise variety). Pretty interesting as long as it doesn’t produce zombies (but if they are old zombies, wouldn’t they have to use “walkers” and those mobility scooters?)
