Welcome to this week’s Wednesday edition — I’m really glad you’re here.
Today we’re focusing on two things that matter more with each passing year: keeping your mind sharp and choosing the healthiest protein options as you age. Staying mentally quick isn’t about crossword puzzles alone, and protein isn’t just about eating more — it’s about eating smarter. These articles will help you do both, without making it complicated.
You’ll also find our exercise of the week: the split squat. It’s a simple move with big benefits for strength, balance, and independence, especially as we get older. Don’t let the name scare you — this is one exercise that pays off fast.
Before you dive in, I have one small favor to ask. If you’re enjoying this newsletter, please invite a friend, family member, or coworker to join us. This community grows best when people share it with people they care about — and you may be helping someone live a longer, stronger, and healthier life.
Thanks for being part of the group. Let’s get into it.

Want a Sharper Mind? Try These 5 Daily Brain Habits
Want to stay sharp as you get older? A long study of adults ages 70 to 105 found that “verbal fluency” (how fast you can find words, like naming animals) was strongly linked with longer survival. The good news: you can train this skill with simple daily habits like reading aloud, writing, puzzles, and conversation.
Healthiest Protein Choices as you Age
Protein is important at every age, but after 50 it becomes even more important. Protein helps keep muscles strong, supports bones, aids healing, and helps you stay independent as you age. Meat can be a good source of protein, but not all meats are equal. Some are much healthier than others.
Exercise of the Week: Split Squat
This week’s exercise is the split squat. It may look simple, but it is one of the best lower body exercises for adults over 50. The split squat helps build strength, balance, and confidence in everyday movements like standing up, walking, and climbing stairs. It works each leg on its own, which is important because most of us have one side that is weaker than the other.
