I hit the big 5-0 this year and looking back on the previous decade there are some things/functions I've noticed have definitely deteriorated.

Fringe - Much further back than it was
Hair Growth - Nose/Ears/Shoulders/Back all grow hair quicker and in colour compared to my scalp
Recovery - After exercise or even a long hike I've started to have a 30 min nap.
Focus - I now excel at procrastination. A doom scroll can go on for hours
Memory - what was I talking about? Whats the word I'm thinking of? Who are you??
Outlook - While a very jovial character I can see the expiry date on myself and know that time is in fact not as eternal as I thought in my youth.

I know all of the above is caused by (in simplistic terms) a decrease in Testosterone and an increase in Dopamine as we grow older but are any of you taking extra supplements or planning trips to Turkey or committed to finding the fountain of youth in an effort to counteract these aging side effects?
 

The benefit of being tall is that your arms are long enough that you can extend them for longer so you can make your eyesight last longer than shorter people.

I wish I was 8 ft tall just for this benefit.

I get annoyed much more frequently, as you'll no doubt find out. :)

Most of me still worked without quibble at 50 apart from some treasonous follicles. Now my memory, left knee, left ankle and tight shoulder are all shot ... any eyesight is pretty poor in dim light. 9 years the difference.

At 52, I have been tempted by NAD supplements and to a lesser extent testosterone boosters.
Biggest reason I’ve not bothered trying them is Joe Rogan seems to be a proponent of them which makes me think they are scam for weak minded plebs.

….touching wood, I’m relatively fine apart from a couple of detatched retina operations in recent years. I don’t even think about taking the car, I always walk if trips are local.

On the subject of tablets, my family has a history of heart trouble (my Mum passed away at 64, her siblings all died relatively young and many cousins have had by-passes). My daughter is a Hospital Consultant and arranged for me to start taking statins many years ago, I can’t be certain but I’m sure it’s helped me remain trouble free so far.

If your family is similar to mine, I’d recommend them.
 
Only thing I do take regularly, but have been for years, is a fish, flaxseed & starflower oil supplement (Triple Omega 3-6-9 from H&B) which I do find is good for a tricky knee joint and a multivitamin, which I’ve changed to a 50+ version (which is probably exactly the same as the regular one but costs more)

Also drink a nootropic coffee alternative that has mushrooms and various other stuff that is supposed to be good for cognitive function. Can never recall what it’s called 🤣
 
I'm 34, got a hair transplant earlier this year. May or may not work, but if I didn't give it a go I'd be regretting it when I'm older. Now in terms of regular stuff I take, Minoxidil (hair growth), Multi Vits, Collagen & Biotin, Additional Protein (Vegetarian so don't get as much naturally as I should do), and finally a regular dose of CBD to help with sleep and relaxation as I'm anxious virtually every evening/night.
