So last night I watched this really awesome show on one of those smart channels (in high-def, woot) called “Inside The Living Body”, which used computer animation and high fallutin’
endoscopic camera gadgetry to illustrate what happens within the body during the periods of life.
It was fascinating, really (and not just because it showed boobies), but there were a few alarming things.
Like how after your 20s, everything starts going downwhill.
And how that hearing never comes back.
And how a lack of exercise in your youth tends to mess you up when you get older.
Or how stress speeds up the aging process.
And damages your cardiovascular network, losing elasticity in a downward spiral as your body stresses more to pump blood through blood vessels that are becoming the consistency of drinking straws.
So then there comes that stroke.
Or that heart attack.
But I’m going to try not to stress over that…
Least I don’t have to worry about pregnancy, menopause, or osteoporosis… sheesh.
