Thanks for including my blog, Secrets to Health and Aging.I work hard to give raeders reliable information. I received a post masters in gerontology 25 years ago and aging remains my passion.Resurrecting an old blog, Upside of Aging, in a week or two. This will focus on aging and the aging brain/mind. I'm constantly amazed at how much we learn about what goes on from the neck up and how much we still don't know!Thanks again.Ruthan Brodsky
