And, if you want to help me remember, don't offer me anything to eat.

Lithe, and whippet sharp. Nice combo don't you think?

But who, in the throws of forgetting just about everything, mostly nouns it seems, wouldn't want to take a bite, or two, of something delicious, to pass the time while recalling where the car keys might be. Not so, say the scientists- another potential benefit of cutting calories: better memory.

To add insult to injury, it appears that another study, reminders of age undermine memory, suggested that thinking that you are losing your memory, because you are aging, does undermine your own performance.

So then, the obvious take away is….

You say aloud, "it's great to be 35",  as you eat that piece of cake, while you are standing, right in front of the open door of the refrigerator, because everyone knows that calories don't count unless you are sitting at a table, using a knife, fork or spoon.
