Mental and auditory acuity, and aging

So many people think they can somehow control the aging process and maybe they can, but at the individual level luck/genetics are bigger factors.  You can drink, smoke and not exercise and still make it to 90, or you could abstain from all vices and die at 32.  It happens!  In the end do what makes you most happy in both the short and long term.  It also really helps if you have money and access to good health care services.

If eating 🥓 makes me happy, I’m going to eat 🥓.  If listening to Kenny Barron makes me happy, I’m going to listen to Kenny Barron.

Period, end of story.

I know this topic is geared towards the elderly (I'm 71) but after reading this thread, are there any audiophiles under the age of 50? While we are at it, any women? If so, speak up. For me being an audiophile started young (early 20's) paused for 30 years or so to raise a family, and resumed when time and money allowed. I'm enjoying good sounding music now more than I ever did, and like me, I would hate to see (hear) it die.

From what I can tell, this stereotype of the 'aging male' audiophile seems to be a bit biased by what is seen in the US, and the UK.

All one has to do to see it does not apply to a good chunk of the rest of the world, is watch audiophile show coverage on YT from shows in: Hong Kong, Poland, Tokyo, Hungary, Manila, Singapore. 

You will see plenty of younger people, women, families. In fact, on one of Fremer's show coverage videos from Hong Kong, he comments several times how the attendees lean much younger than the US.

There is also a video from Singapore, where the presenter is giving tour of an audio mall (yes, Singapore actually has mall, several floors, with nothing but dozens of high end dealers in every store front), where you can also see that the majority of the shoppers are fairly young.

i eat relatively well because my wife cook supper...

Dinner is less well chosen... 😊

But i take this : astaxanthine ( one of the most powerrful NATURAL anti inflammatory) the most efficient for me of all my supplement because i need it ...

Berberine ( powerful diabetes ptrevention )

Black cumin or nigella sativa ( the list of proven benefits is so long it takes many pages)

Curcuma +gingember+black pepper for absorption here also too much benefits proven to write them...😊

Vitamin d each day ( 4,000 mg )

Vitamin c each day (2,000 mg)

Omega3 fatty acid oil

Minerals each day ( small dose)

It is my each day supplement for years...

I even felt the effect of astaxanthine on my eyes fatigues and on some inflammation zones as the gall bladder inflammation...

curcumal is magical for the metabolism and elimination...

Berberine is so powerful i take only 500 mg a day with 2 i feel disconfrort where you done need to ... I take it as a sugar bad effect control... It work...

my eyes and ears are stable at 73 three...

Nigella sativa and curcuma and astaxanthine are powerful ... Read about them...

Each of us are different than you must research FOR YOUR SPECIFIC NEEDS and take care of the possible secondary effects... Interaction with other drugs is very dangerous then take nothing without extensive research... Try anything one products at a time and watch your body to see negative impact and taking the right dosage...Berberine for example for my sugar level ask for my actual dosage of 500 mg...Not more...

Ask your doctor if his mind is open to something which is not big pharma drugs...

I did not ask mine because she is mind controlled... And instead of berberine for my sugar level she will advise me WRONG with a pharma  drug etc ....I am not diabetic but on the borderline.... The last time i measure it was OK thanks to berberine...
