I must be getting old!

meoklmrk91

I have recently noticed how much I am craving healthy food, particularly fruit and veg, I would eat neither as a child and its a wonder I didn't get scurvy or something. Now I will actually take a piece of fruit over sweets, love dinners with the plate over flowing with veg and where as before I would go mad if there wasn't a fizzy drink in the house I instead drink loads of water. What is happening to me!

So AH, how did you know that you were getting a bit of sense in your old age?

Your username implies that you were born in 1991. Is it true?

We often crave foods when we're deficient in the nutrients they provide and a sudden change in appetite can be an indicator of an underlying problem.


See a doctor. I think you might have aids.

Cut down seriously on alcohol. It wasn't helping me at all.

Sound medical advice there, ill be sure to get that checked out. I've heard that alright, well considering my childhood and teenage diet I'm glad my body has finally woken up to the vast amount of nutrients it was seriously deprived over the last 22 years!

Old?

I have seen the rise and fall of the CD!
I still have an original Playstation.

He must be the most deluded poster on boards then if he's just after realising that he might be getting old, at the age of 91!

This is the one part of growing older that I don't mind.

Children's palate's just aren't developed. They need sweet tastes all the time. Most of us who love lentils and cabbage and broccoli and cucumber and salads today probably hated the stuff as kids. I know I did.

This is the fun part. The worst is when you get older and your taste buds start to fail you and everything tastes like Complan (or because it actually is Complan).

That's why when old people say food tasted better when they were young, they're not just being nostalgic, it probably did used to taste better (for them).

Maybe the lack of additives back in the day, made food taste better?

What's complan, I know it can't be good but I want to know anyway!

We are loosing taste buds from the minute we are born apparently, the older you are the less you have, so say cabbage will taste different to a 10 year old and a 40 year old.

I remember when I started my current job, a conversation at the lunch table went like this :

A : Mary, you've been working here 25 years now, really?! 25 years ago I was in college!

B : I had my driving test 25 years ago!

(I was keeping my head down)

C : I just started my first job!

(still keeping my head down)

D : I was starting college!

A : So guppy, what were you doing 25 years ago?

Me : Eh, I wasn't born then............

Cue uncomfortable silence all round.

Edit : I now have a son who loves pretty much all veg, spicy food and rare meat (where applicable). His palette is more varied than mine.

I put it down to me being able to educate myself better on his nutrition than my mother was on me (she thought I should use only bland baby rice when first feeding him, most nutritionists will tell you to start with stewed "sweet" veg first these days, to try and get them used to veg flavours). Plus, there is a much bigger range of herbs/ spices available nowadays that was unheard of (by the majority of Irish families) even 20 years ago.

I enjoy going to bed early and worry if I think I won't get enough sleep.

My next door neighbour arrived home after a night out a few days ago at 9am without her keys so I had to let her in using our spare set. I was just getting up after 10 hours sleep. I felt very old

I actually still have a dress I bought back in 1990, I loved it so much and even though I rarely wore it (I felt it was too short for a woman of "my age", I couldn't bring myself to throw it away (it still fits by the way, so at least inbetween all this feeling old malarky, that's something I can hold on to) Now my 18 year old daughter wears it, she loves it

Mr. CooL ICE

I was a picky youngster and didn't eat tons of food. I didn't eat a steak until I was about 14. Didn't want to try apple tart til I was 15. 15 ffs! I ignored it because it had apple in it, but once I tasted the glorious mix of pastry and stewed apple, I wondered what I had been doing with my life.


I only started to eat proper veg when I started exercising and realised the difference in how I felt after eating ****e and after eating well. I then found out how to make veg taste nice: parboil for 2 mins and lather in butter, salt and pepper. Quick, easy, delicious and healthy.

The weird thing for me was looking at old scenes from Friends on Youtube, and realising that the season 1 episodes were so dated :eek:
