ageing

New research suggests that theobromine, a natural compound found in dark chocolate, may be linked to slower biological ageing. It is early days, but it is encouraging to see that everyday foods continue to offer intriguing clues about healthier and longer lives. A small reason to enjoy dark chocolate with a bit more appreciation.<a href="/tags/science/" rel="tag">#science</a> <a href="/tags/health/" rel="tag">#health</a> <a href="/tags/longevity/" rel="tag">#longevity</a> <a href="/tags/ageing/" rel="tag">#ageing</a><a href="https://scitechdaily.com/dark-chocolate-compound-linked-to-slower-aging/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="scitechdaily.com/dark-chocolate-compound-linked-to-slower-aging/">https://scitechdaily.com/dark-chocolate-compound-linked-to-slower-aging/</a>

Alexander Gray
On a Cat, Ageing

He blinks upon the hearth-rug,
and yawns in deep content,
accepting all the comforts
that Providence has sent.

Louder he purrs, and louder,
in one glad hymn of praise
for all the night’s adventures,
for quiet, restful days.

Life will go on for ever,
with all that cat can wish;
warmth and the glad procession
of fish and milk and fish.

Only – the thought disturbs him –
he’s noticed once or twice,
the times are somehow breeding
a nimbler race of mice.
