As a result, it may have been a little easier for me to see the human side of physicians. However, many, if not most, of our generation grew up believing that the doctors we saw on television shows such as Medical Center, Dr. Kildare and Marcus Welby, M.D. were the norm.

Longevity Tip of the Day
Create a Sensory Spice Journal — Spices do more than just flavor your food; they open a pathway to cultural exploration and sensory enhancement. Start a sensory spice journal by choosing a new spice every week. Note its aroma, texture, and taste while you cook with it. Document the emotions and memories it evokes, the cultures it's associated with, and try a new recipe that highlights its unique flavor. This practice will not only diversify your palate and culinary skills but also stimulate your senses and cognitive flexibility, keeping your mind and body resilient and engaged with the world around you.
