Climacteric

Hi everyone!
Something fun to learn about today. The ancient Greeks thought the climacterics were critical years in a persons life and were turning points; generally at 7 year intervals. A child age 7 was thought to begin to reason and jumping ahead to adulthood is the magic age of 21. In modern times it is also used in tandem with "the change of life" or the menopausal years both for men and women. Interesting isn't it? Where are you in this? 7, 14, 49 (like me!) or 63? Some thought the climacterics were every 9 years and that 81 is the grand climacteric.
I like the thought that, frankly, at any time we can reinvent ourselves. We can decide to place ourselves on a better health trajectory through healthier eating, stress reduction and exercise.
Here's to learning something new everyday. Work out your brain too!
Healthy regards,
Patty
