I always ask my 90+ year old patients for the secret to living so long. I say, "what's the secret?"
Today, my 95 year old patient replied by saying, "the secret is to eat a lot of butter (not margarine) and ice cream". I asked her how she kept her mind so sharp and she said, "by watching a lot of baseball".
Thought is was cute. Made me smile. Wanted to share.

I've always said it's important to stay in shape. Round being a shape.

Ice cream is my comfort food. Since comfort is good for your BP and reduces stress hormones, I believe ice cream is practically a health food.
I agree. See the cones in my avatar?! :)

I've been told by a 102 year old patient that her secret is to eat a piece of chocolate every day.
I've been told by other elderly patients that their secret is to use real butter, real sugar, and real eggs when they cook. There's something about those fake substitutes that kills you.

Now...if you eat lots of frozen custard, made with real eggs, and lots of butterfat, and it's chocolate...you're all set!
hmmm...I see a grocery store trip in my very near future!
