You know that Peter Attia, that smart guy talkin’ ’bout livin’ long? He talks a lot about them supplements. Supplements this, supplements that. Makes my head spin. But I been tryin’ to figure out what he’s on about, ’cause who don’t want to live a good long life, right? Seems like everyone these days is trying to live forever. And I ain’t gettin’ any younger, that’s for sure!
So, this Peter Attia, he’s a doctor, I reckon. A fancy one. He’s got all these ideas ’bout what to take to keep yourself healthy. He changes his mind a lot though, so keepin’ up is a chore. One day it’s this, the next day it’s that. Like the weather, always changin’. But some things, they stay the same. Like that fish oil. That one, he always says, is a must. Says it’s good for your ticker and your brain. I don’t know ’bout all that, but I take it ’cause he says so.
- Omega-3 Fish Oil
He’s big on that. Says it’s like oil for your joints, keeps ’em movin’ smooth. I got some creaky knees, so I listen up when he talks about that. My neighbor, she takes it too. Says it helps her with her arthritis. Don’t know if it’s true, but she seems to be doin’ alright.
Then there’s that Vitamin D. He says that one’s important too. Says most folks ain’t gettin’ enough. Like sunshine in a bottle, he calls it. We used to just go outside and get it from the sun, but now, he says, we gotta take pills. Times are changin’, I guess. He says it’s not gonna hurt ya, so that’s good. That’s one less thing to worry about, ain’t it? The risk is “insanely low”, he says. Well, I like the sound of that.
He takes a whole bunch of other stuff too. Stuff I can’t even pronounce. Methyl-somethin’ and B-somethin’. Some kind of B vitamins, I think. Says it’s good for your body, how it processes things. I just nod my head and pretend I understand. He says he has a gene thing, that’s why he takes it. It’s a special one he gets from Jarrow, he says. He likes that brand, it seems.
- Vitamin D
- Methylfolate and B12 from Jarrow
It’s all a bit much for me, to be honest. I’m just a simple person. But I figure, if it helps him, maybe it’ll help me too. He’s tryin’ to live to be a hundred, I hear. Don’t know if I want to live that long, but I wouldn’t mind feelin’ good for as long as I’m here. I know he cares about longevity. That’s what he talks about, livin’ long and well.
He’s got these fancy tests he does, checks his blood and all that. Says he tailors what he takes to what his body needs. That’s way over my head. I just take what he says is good for most folks. He talks about cholesterol too, and diabetes. Says these supplements can help with all that. Lord knows we got enough of that goin’ around these days.
There’s a whole bunch of folks online, they follow him like he’s some kind of guru. They got groups and lists and all sorts of things. It’s all very complicated. They talk about this Peter Attia supplement list. There’s always a new list. It is hard to follow. They write about this longevity and stuff. I think they want to live forever.
I just try to keep it simple. Fish oil, Vitamin D, and them B vitamins. That’s what I remember. And I try to eat good, too. Lots of veggies and fruits, like my mama taught me. Can’t go wrong with that. And I try to stay active, walk around the neighborhood, tend to my garden. That’s important too, he says. Movin’ your body.
This Peter Attia, he’s a smart fella. He knows a lot about the body and how it works. I don’t understand all of it, but I trust he knows what he’s doin’. He wants to help people, I think. That’s a good thing. So, I listen to him, even if it makes my head spin sometimes. I read about his supplement list. I try to follow it, more or less.
At the end of the day, we all just tryin’ to do the best we can, right? Tryin’ to live a good life, a healthy life. And if these supplements can help with that, well, I’m willin’ to give ’em a try. Can’t hurt, might help. That’s what I always say. I will try to follow Peter Attia. He seems like a good man. And he sure knows a lot about those pills.
I ain’t gettin’ any younger. None of us are. So we gotta take care of ourselves. Listen to the smart folks, like this Peter Attia. Do what we can. And hope for the best. That’s all any of us can do, really. Just hope for the best. And take your fish oil, I guess. That’s what he says anyway. That Peter, he’s always sayin’ somethin’. But I do my best to listen. Gotta take care of this old body. It’s the only one I got, after all.
