When I still had balance. I would bike ten miles each way and load jets for eight hours in Houston. I really loved riding. I owned an inexpensive racing bike. One day I just walked away from every doing it again.

On the subject of longevity. I read an incredibly interesting article in Seniorfitness.com regarding SOD/GLIADIN. If this is of interest to you I will happily continue. In the case it is not I'll save you reading.

Howdy Sam! Never heard of it. Not only read the article, but searched for the product. Pricey. Do you take it? I am very interested in your contributions.

I am very healthy, but not too keen on longevity because my Dad died with ALZ at 83, and my MIL still lives with it a 91. Enough to tell me what good is a long life if the brain deteriorates.

I also do not have balance. Mine though begin in childhood when I was nick name "Duck Foot". I can not imagine riding one block, let alone 20 miles. I insisted DH get me a used bike too take advantage of our low traffic road. Not! Try as I may, it is not true that once you learn to ride a bicycle you never forget. I admire your dedication to getting to and from work, and the physical aspect of your job. I think couch potato fits me better from my office job days.

Thanks for being apart of this discussion. Fully hope to see you again.

I had not known of it until just a day or so ago. Went to greatestherbs@charter.net and order a couple of bottles. Until you mentioned it, I did not realize the cost. Relative I suppose. If you will indulge me for a quick, funny story this reminds me of...Two well turned out ladies were driving/riding with the top down in a beautifully polished Rolls down in PB. Proudly the one driving, turns to the other and says, obviously bursting with pride, "I'll bet you've never ridden in a Rolls before.". The friend, with empathy for her friend, meekly says,"Well...Not in the front!".

Back to the business of Long Life. I know that loss of sense of presence does not, in the least, effect the individual. Yes, while the person disappears, The intelligence is retained in the person completely. Later when the restoration of spirit and renewed body are once again the soul, nothing gained of intelligence, while on the Earth, will be absent. Enough already.

Saturday morning day dreaming. Sorry.

Thank you for the note of approval but it is undeserved, the biking experience is in the past and today's rage prohibts trying that again. If still exchanging thoughts in a year, I will let you know if SOD/gliadin is noticeably felt. The science that has allowed the fragile element that is the fear of free radicals to be protected until it passes the acids in the stomach is an achievment. I hope many of us will benefit. Stop CODEX!

Since you've read the article would it beneficial or would it be to mundane to continue explore the article with the rest?

Now off to handle something that my Great Dane has an emphatic opinion on it's pertinence.

I am trying to capture that internal feeling one gets that is suppose is called inspiration to make the coming twelve months an highlight year. Is there anyone else that might accompany? In an online sense anyway.

Good morning Sam. Let's not talk about rumble seats, eh? LOL

Thanks for letting me listen in on your day dreams.

Yes, carry on. The article is informative and probably most have not yet heard of it, as myself.

I also have 3 large fur babies and love dogs. A Great Dane is handsome animal.

Yes, count me in on the journey. 2008 is going to be great.

Superoxide Dismutase, Boosting the Body’s Primary Antioxidant Defense.

Rather than a surely successful attempt to glaze the eyes. Perhaps we could talk about the people side of this scientific realization. Who here has felt a dull sense of inflamation or heat from within?

The article explains it thusly, "the process of generating energy by “burning” nutrients with oxygen, certain “rogue” oxygen molecules are created as inevitable byproducts. Known as free radicals and reactive oxygen species, these unstable, highly reactive molecules play a role in cell signaling and other beneficial processes when they exist in benign concentrations. But when their numbers climb, as may occur as a result of aging and other conditions, they may wreak havoc with other molecules with which they come into contact, such as DNA, proteins, and lipids. As such, these “pro-oxidant” molecules become especially toxic."

I don't recall feeling this way before, say ten years ago. But this past year I have taken in tons of pomegranate, Blackcurrant and others rich in anti-oxidants and that along with sensible habits have at least given me a sense of wellness. Unless my temple is playing with me?

Off to the Sat. errands. Hope to return and find out if others feel as, well hopeful, as I do and justify the feeling that this is a landmark advancement in delivering SODs to the bloodstream.

I am reading possibly, potentially, and potential benefits. I don't know.

I do not feel inflamation or heat from within. As of this moment I live in perfect health, and if I do not, my temple has failed to alert me in any form.

I would ask merely if more time on hand after retirement, ill-health itself, or preventative care measures sent you on your quest?

In brevity, to answer you inquiry, recently returned from a business trip to Beijing, excellent health and making good habits better.

I just thought advancement on the prime reason for aging, namely free radicals, would be of more interest.
