What a beautiful song. I had never heard it before, but it is true: we cannot let the old man in. I would love to take some supplements like creatine, resveratrol, or collagen, but they are very expensive in Venezuela. But I think that beyond what you consume, which is fundamental, it is the way you perceive yourself: 'How old would you be if you didn’t know what year you were born,' and that is the point. I see people of 30 dragging their soul as if they were 80 years old, whereas I know people of 60 who are like 30. I remember that once you made a post about how you liked to play pranks on your nephew, and I recall you telling me that there lies the secret of youth: not killing the inner child, not forgetting to laugh, play, and keep the magic. As long as you demand from the body, the body will keep performing. A big hug, full of youth.

That song has so much truth and feeling in it. I think you can get a fair amount of resveratrol in certain red wines and collagen from bone broth but I'm not sure if there's a natural way to get more creatine except from the supplement itself. I just consulted Grok about it....
Top Natural Food Sources of CreatineAmounts vary by source and cooking method (heat can reduce creatine content, so gentler methods like steaming or eating juices/gravy help retain more). Here's a breakdown per ~4 oz (113g) raw serving:
health.com +1
Herring — ~0.75–1.25g (one of the richest sources)
Beef (e.g., steak, patties) — ~0.5–0.9g
Pork (e.g., loin) — ~0.5–0.6g
Salmon — ~0.5g
Chicken/Turkey — ~0.4–0.45g
Tuna, Cod, or other fish — ~0.3–0.7g
I think you're right about that, Nancy! Perception is so important—staying positive and having things in your life you look forward to and that give you joy. It's so easy to let depression and negativity take over in the world we live in today but, just like aging, we can rebel against that too.
Yes! My nephew should be about ready to test out his exploding golf balls I brought him the last time I visited. I'll have to ask my brother if he's done that yet. : ) Thank you Nancy! I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend and are on a sunny beach with a cold beer in hand!
Nooooo. I hope so. I already started work and I have a lot of work to do. Thank you for the information about supplements. Definitely, maintaining a balanced and quality diet makes a difference. Have a nice Sunday 🍃
You're welcome! I learned something too. I didn't know herring contained creatine. I bet all the nutrients from real food are better than taking supplements. Thank you! I hope you enjoyed your weekend.
