Subject: Re: Where we're going from here
Nor for me. From what I've read and am now beginning to observe, the problem is that the slippage is gradual, and somewhat confounding.

Yes. As this problem gets closer to me over the years, I have (so far) come to a few conclusions:

- many older people would benefit from seeing a physio (or very good physical trainer), say once a month. Never mind whether they have an injury / problem or not. Just make it a regular appointment, like getting a haircut. Let the physio decide what needs to be worked on.
- the above is about maintaining muscle, strength, mobility. Eating enough protein to do this might be important.
- eat a diet that minimises insulin levels. That might be low carb, or veggie, or include fasting, or ... whatever. Keep insulin low.
