    You aren’t getting any more teeth, so take care of the ones you have.

    Stress produces cortisol. Cortisol reduces your empathy.

    Like Casandra, knowing the future won’t make you happy or get people to listen to you.

    Intelligence is setting your medication to automatically arrive when you run out. Wisdom is having it arrive a week before you run out.

      Cortisol reduces empathy

      That makes a lot of sense

      People who don’t take care of themselves can’t take care of others.

      I’m guessing most people on Lemmy have already experienced this.

        Like I say at work: I’m here to share my knowledge and experience, not to be an Old Testament prophet. If you choose not to listen, it’s on you. And I keep minutes in case anyone asks “why didn’t you tell them?”

      And your gums. Actually floss. No one wants to but your 60 year old self will thank you.

      Wearing braces for the first time at 60, because my teeth decided to start moving around enough to affect eating. And it’s just getting worse from here. I brushed: no cavities ever. I have good health/genes: one root canal is my only tooth issue. But I hated flossing and rarely did, and my dentists pointed out gum health over the decades, so here we are

      I wish you’d told me this years ago. I still struggle with needing to be proven right. It’s exhausting.
