What if age is just a state of mind? | Bruce Grierson | TEDxPSU

[@LHAN-rr4kv]

I'm 25 guy. My 10s life was literally so terrible. Cuz My family was always discordant, and my parents were alcoholics. My teen was really depressed, so once again I was depressed by the fact that nothing I had ever done. Because I thought I was in my 20s and it was already too late to succeed. However, after watching this video, I realized that I was very young and I can do everything. As a firefighter, if I have enough money to go to college, I will sit down and go straight to college. Thank u ted. This video changed all my life.

Goodness gracious. What a woman. And seriously, why doesn't this talk have more views. I think there is still time when science arrives to this logical conclusion but the takeaway here is that the stuff that goes on in your hand HIGHLY influences how your body behaves including aging. And as they say, where there is a will there is a way. It's high time we started taking up mental health seriously; it's just the other side of the coin physical health is a part of

What's infuriating is that doctors and medical settings contribute to "age primes." In some clinics, you meet a doctor for the first time when you're in an exam chair in their offices. They don't even come get you from reception so they don't see how you move. If Olga had come to see them, they'd see an older lady politely waiting. The forms have no place for fitness - just weight. (One reason I refuse to step on scales.) They don't see how people move or get up from chairs. So they assume everyone over 60 is a fall risk. They say, "At your age..." They ignore hundreds of studies showing the variability of aging. We need to start speaking up and refusing to accept those primes.

WOOOOOOW

[@JCResDoc94]

☼ i love this: bc if you dare say anything about ellens work never being replicated, or that if olga died at 60 you wouldnt have that story, or the problems w/a single self report selected 100 person sample "on average" & what that actually means - youll be shouted down as negative. beautiful positive nonsense, that from every other area of life we know is almost certainly not going to be right. makes me want to write a book tho. except some of us actually do want to live longer, healthier, thats the problem. if that is possible: this type of cr*p hinders us from finding actual universally applicable ways. gr8 talk.

what if jail is just how you perceived building

[@airmaxed2219]

I could be his smoking gun. I haven't always done the what's best in diet and sleeping. Plus I didn't regularly exercise, beat up my body with work (sometimes I'd get like 6 hrs of sleep and wouldn't eat lunch), and I have also not always put the smartest things into my body. But I've always kinda been a man child and have claimed that I was living to at least 400 or just went full ridiculous and claimed I was a vampire(spider-man, immortal, and all kinds of nonsense). I'm about to be 31 but my little avatar claims different.

[@airmaxed2219]

I forgot to mention that my father (who I'm basically a clone of) is 67 and looks 10-15 years younger than his age. He can still physically out work 20 year olds. My whole family are volunteer firefighters and my father entered a lot of buildings without a SCBA and worked his whole life in a glass plant. He was not a man child like me and had to grow up quick. So maybe it's a little of my genetics too. But my grandfather died at a young age (50s) so who knows. But either way very interesting theory.

What if the pic was photoshopped lol

[@kristymounsey3941]

This is all fine for some, but my mother has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. You can’t think yourself out of this dreadful disease. This is an insult.
