Four scientifically proven ways to live longer

Professor Rose Anne Kenny tell us 70-80% of the ageing process is due to environmental factors.
Things within our control.

Aside from diet and keeping active here are the four others that matter most!

My mum lived until 97...dad til 81. I can only hope.

My biggest problem at the moment are my bloody hands - very stiff sometimes - think it's arthritis but one of my pinkies definitely has that trigger finger thing again.

I do 5 minutes of squeezing and wriggling them about to get them going each morning then wash em in cold water with soap ... if it stay's like that I'll be happy but if it starts to get worse it's not going to be much fun.

i'm 77, my dad lived to 94 ; i plan to outlive him.

Hmmm... fortunately not (yet?) ...

i'm doing well:

had hospital report today, following a CT scan of aortic aneurism stent i had done in 2016--all satisfactory.

colonosopy for bowel cancer--all clear

and
PSA test for prostate--again all ok.

next--
in sept cataract op--bit nervous about that, sensitive about eyes.

Do you have private health insurance or is that on NHS ?

Nhs

Sounds good, do they do all that on the Island or do you have to hop over to Portsmouth/Southampton for it ?



Went there a few times on holiday when we kids

the aortic aneurism was a 3 hour op at Southampton General hosp in may 2016--performed by an american lady surgeon. I had it monitored for many years before it had reached critical mass. It gave me no trouble whatsover--just a quietly ticking time bomb. I had got married acouple of weeks before i was contacted about the op.

Gurnard Pines is still in business--but a lot of the chalets are used for all year round residential purposes--in spite of the electricity being shut off through the winter.

For me it's keeping busy, avoid stress and worry and have .it's of things to look forward to.

Was just looking for local help with my Trigger Finger and found this on FACEBOOK:



Think I'll keep looking

I've had one cataract done, no problem at all.
"Floaters" do seem to arrive in the eyes in our later years giving the impression that there's something there when there isn't!

Scary.
Black and White photos can make subjects look more dramatic.

i recently discovered a strange thing with my vision. i had given up driving at night--i was getting dazzled a lot with headlights and bright street lamps--and i thought it was either the car screen or my glasses.

Then recently i was outside my house and noticed a street light with a bright shining halo ring around it--and asked my wife if she could see it--she couldnt. I took glasses off--and it was still there--with each eye.

St Peter ?

i also get a lot more migraine lately--several times a week. The vision disturbance goes away--suddenly--after about 30 minutes. I no longer get headaches though--not the killers i used to get years ago.
