I am now offically OLD, LOL – What now

If you’re over 75, you can pretty much eat whatever you want

1/16/2013

There are times when you reeeeeally want to eat that third slice of pizza, order another basket of fries, wolf down that late-night doughnut. You resist temptation and think of your future self (and those extra pounds). But if you’re 75 or older, feel free to let out your inner fat kid. A new study has found that for elderly folks, a diet high in fat and sugar (i.e. American) doesn’t impact their health in a significant way, and there was no link found between a Western diet and a prevalence of diabetes, heart disease or death among participants. Maybe getting older isn’t so bad after all.

Found this write up on the internet a few months ago ( author unknown) and decided to post this after reading, as I thought it was rather entertaining.  Yet after reviewing, I am not real sure this is a great Idea – to eat anything you would like!!   Always , of course , be aware of your health and what is the proper, healthy diet for yourself. 75 is still young by the way  : )

Your thoughts ?
