I heard somebody recently even defending Donald Trump against accusations that at 79 he might be “losing it”. “Nonsense” came the reply. “ he may be 79 but has the mental capacity of a 7 year-old” 🤣🤣🤣
(Apologies to all 7- year olds we know.)

Acording to an article in the Telegraph, a study by the IMF (International Monetary Fund) and others by various universities, older people are getting smarter and today people in their early 70s are as cognitive alert and fit as people in their early 50s a generation ago.

The improvement in mental acuity is even more than the overall improvement in health and fitness.
