Mused after… reading the Surgeon General’s report tagging how loneliness is as deadly as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Connect with others through kind words, ask about their interests, do something together. A 2020 Harvard study found that people who reappraised alone time as “solitude” and not “loneliness” stayed in a better mood.
OLIVE OIL HEALTH BENEFITS INCLUDING LESS ALZHEIMER’S
Olive oil is widely recognized for its numerous health benefits, thanks to its unique composition of healthy fats and antioxidants. Here are some of the key health benefits associated with consuming olive oil:
1. Heart Health: Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fats, particularly oleic acid, which is associated with a reduced risk of heart disease. Regular consumption of olive oil may help lower LDL cholesterol levels (the “bad” cholesterol) and increase HDL cholesterol levels (the “good” cholesterol), thereby improving overall heart health.
2. Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Olive oil contains compounds with anti-inflammatory properties, such as oleocanthal and oleuropein. These compounds may help reduce inflammation in the body, which is believed to play a role in the development of chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer, and arthritis.
3. Antioxidant Content: Olive oil is rich in antioxidants, including vitamin E and phenolic compounds, which help protect cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. Antioxidants may also have anti-aging effects and reduce the risk of certain diseases, such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.
4. Improved Cognitive Function: Some studies suggest that the monounsaturated fats in olive oil may support brain health and improve cognitive function. The antioxidants in olive oil may also help reduce the risk of age-related cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.
5. Better Digestive Health: Olive oil is known for its mild laxative effect and may help prevent or alleviate constipation. It can also aid in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and promote the production of bile, which is essential for digestion.
6. Weight Management: Despite being calorie-dense, incorporating moderate amounts of olive oil into your diet may actually help with weight management. The healthy fats in olive oil can help increase feelings of satiety and fullness, leading to reduced calorie intake overall.
7. Skin Health: Olive oil is often used in skincare products due to its moisturizing and antioxidant properties. When consumed, the antioxidants in olive oil may help protect the skin from oxidative stress and UV damage, potentially reducing the signs of aging and promoting a healthy complexion.
8. Reduced Risk of Alzheimer’s Disease: Several observational studies have found that individuals who consume a Mediterranean diet rich in olive oil have a lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease compared to those who consume diets high in saturated fats. The Mediterranean diet, characterized by high consumption of olive oil, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fish, has been associated with better cognitive function and a reduced risk of dementia.
It’s important to note that while olive oil offers numerous health benefits, it should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Opt for extra virgin olive oil whenever possible, as it retains the highest levels of antioxidants and other beneficial compounds.

Clint Eastwood and “Keeping the Old Man Out”
“No Letting the Old Man In!” That’s the response the admired nonagenarian actor Clint Eastwood gave to country singer Toby Keith when asked about his secret to staying active and vibrant at his age. “Every day when I wake up, I don’t let the old man in. My secret has been the same since 1959: staying busy. I never let the old man into the house. I’ve had to drag him out because he was already comfortably settled, bothering me all the time, leaving no space for anything other than nostalgia. You have to stay active, alive, happy, strong, and capable. It’s in us, in our intelligence, attitude, and mentality. We are young, regardless of our ID. We must learn to fight to not let the old man in. That old man awaits us, stationed and tired by the side of the road to discourage us. I don’t let the old, critical, hostile, envious spirit in—the one that scrutinizes our past to tie us up with complaints and distant anxieties, or relived traumas and waves of pain. You have to turn your back on the old murmurer, full of rage and complaints, lacking courage, denying himself that old age can be creative, determined, and full of light and projection. Aging can be pleasant and even fun if you know how to use your time if you’re satisfied with what you’ve achieved, and if you still maintain enthusiasm,” adds Clint Eastwood, a legend with ten Oscar nominations, of which he has won four statues—all after crossing the threshold of sixty. That’s called “not letting the old man into the house.” These words resonated so deeply with country singer Toby Keith that they inspired him to compose the song “Don’t Let the Old Man In,” dedicated to the legendary actor.
