Taking it easy as you age? Wrong. Even just 10-15 minutes a day helps.

 

Taking it easy as you age? Wrong. Because humans evolved to be active later in life, we need exercise to age well, finds a new study by Daniel Lieberman. The good news? Even just 10-15 minutes a day helps.

John Goodenough, the oldest person to receive a Nobel Prize at 97 years old

 

John Goodenough - then and now.

Chemistry laureate Goodenough was born to American parents in 1922 in Jena, Germany. As a young boy he loved spending time in nature and especially liked taking long walks in the nature as they made it easier to think.

In 2019 John Goodenough became the oldest person to receive a Nobel Prize at 97 years old. He was awarded the chemistry prize "for the development of lithium-ion batteries."

New neurons for life? Old people can still make fresh brain cells, study finds

 

Science 

One of the thorniest debates in neuroscience is whether people can make new neurons after their brains stop developing in adolescence—a process known as neurogenesis. A 2019 study found that even people long past middle age can make fresh brain cells, and that past studies that failed to spot these newcomers may have used flawed methods. #ScienceMagArchives

顧炎武 1613~1682

傅山（1607年8月11日－1684年7月25日），本名鼎臣，字青竹，後改名山，更字青主，以字行，號公之它、公它、真山、朱衣道人、石道人、嗇廬、僑黃、僑松等等，山西陽曲人（今山西省太原市尖草坪區向陽鎮西村），明末清初學者，以明遺民自居，清兵入關後，不接受任官，自稱為道士。於經學、考據、理學、佛學、道教、諸子、漢方、詩法、書畫、金石、地理、武術皆有涉獵。

顧炎武與傅青主的感情其實是至死不渝的，顧炎武臨終一刻，依然惦記著傅青主，著文說：「蕭然物外，自得天機，吾不如傅青主。」對傅青主評價極高。

可見顧炎武的《規友人納妾書》，並非是絕交書，只是發一通牢騷罷了。

這個故事說明了什麼道理呢？其實是勸中老年人行事多謹慎，郭德綱常說「人老不以筋骨為能」，過了那個歲數，卻要硬行年輕人之事，終究是要吃虧的。原文網址：https://kknews.cc/history/26qmzer.html

董子曰：「君子甚愛氣而謹遊於房。是故新壯者十日而一遊於房，中年者倍新壯，始衰者倍中年，中衰者倍始衰，大衰者以月當新壯之日，而上與天地同節矣。」

炎武年五十九，未有繼嗣，在太原遇傅青主，浼之診脈，云尚可得子，勸令置妾，遂於靜樂買之。不一二年而眾疾交侵，始思董子之言而瞿然自悔。立侄議定，即出而嫁之。嘗與張稷若言：青主之為人，大雅君子也。稷若曰：「豈有勸六十老人娶妾，而可以為君子者乎？」愚無以應也。又少時與楊子常先生最厚，自定夫亡後，子常年逾六十，素有目眚，買妾二人，三五年間目遂不能見物。得一子已成童而夭亡，究同於伯道。此在無子之人猶當以為戒，而況有子有孫，又有曾孫者乎？有曾孫而復買妾，以理言之，則當謂之不祥；以事言之，則朱子斗詩有所謂《好人歎》者，即西安府人，殷鑒不遠也。伏念足下之年五十九同於弟，有目疾同於子常，有曾孫同於西安之「好人」，故舉此為規，未知其有當否？

"The excitement of learning separates youth from old age. As long as you're learning, you're not old."

- Wise words from Rosalyn Yalow, a Nobel Prize-awarded nuclear physicist who revolutionised the medical world by developing the radioimmunoassay. With the help of radioimmunoassay, she proved that type 2 diabetes is caused by the body's inefficient use, rather than lack, of insulin.

In 2011, she passed away aged 89.

英文電影欣賞The Whales of August (1987)

The Whales of August tells the story of two elderly widowed sisters from Philadelphia, near the end of their lives, spending their annual summer in a seaside house in Maine. The surroundings cause them to recall their relationship as young women, and the summers they had enjoyed there in the past. They reflect on the passage of time, and the bitterness, jealousies and misunderstandings that slowly festered over the years and kept them from establishing a true closeness in their relationship.『八月の鯨』（原題：The Whales of August）[1]は、リンゼイ・アンダーソン監督による1987年公開のアメリカ映画である。主演はリリアン・ギッシュ、ベティ・デイヴィス。

アメリカ・メイン州の小さな島で暮らす老姉妹（リリアン・ギッシュ、ベティ・デイヴィス）の夏の日々を淡々と描く傑作。日本では岩波ホールの創立20周年記念作品としてロードショー上映され、異例の長期上映となった。淀川長治が絶賛。
撮影当時、リリアン・ギッシュは93歳、ベティ・デイヴィスは79歳であった。
