Last year I got a letter from Ældresagen.
I turn 52 in a couple of months, so apparently I'm now in the group designated as "elderly".
And I suppose I am.
However, I eat between 300 and 450 grams of meat a day, and have done so for many years. Instead of the 255 - and now 80 for those in nursing homes - recommended grams per week.
Add to that 3-4 eggs, extra protein from protein shakes on top of an hour of weight training. Every day.
That plan works for me.
Because it's made for me.
And it doesn't make everything age according to the pattern the system and the state expect, plan for and advise from. And which they even claim should produce exactly the opposite result. With that diet I should be on death's door!?
The plan the state has for you, on the other hand, is built to deliver equally distributed outcomes for everyone - an average - and therefore it always drags down towards the lowest common denominator, so no one falls off.
And it has in recent years even become an average result that must fit into some crackpot committee's red-green ideological climate Excel sheet in a ministry. Which has NOTHING to do with human health.
I've seen where it leads.
And that's not where I'll end up. Because the plan being preached has its very fixed, easily predictable course. A pattern so clear you'd have to be blindfolded not to see it.
You can talk to your friends at Novo - or if you have a GP who wishes you well. They can pull up the statistics and projections in under a minute, if you follow public guidance.
Lifelong medication and lacking vitality, agency and autonomy.
Eat and live in the way that gives you the results you want. And ALWAYS look at those trying to give you advice about your life -
Do they themselves have the results they say you'll get from following their advice - or do they resemble someone whose course you'd rather not emulate.
Or at least consider whether they have other intentions behind their words.
You have ONE body.
You have to be in it ALL the way to the end.
You're the ONLY one living in it.
And therefore the only one who KNOWS how it reacts to what it's exposed to - and to what it takes in.
Listen to it!
Instead of the Man on Television.
Or the Municipal Lady from the Party.
