Life after 50

[Frederick Foresight]

Soda does makes life worth living.

I never really cared for it, even as a kid. Nothing beats ice cold water.

My wife prefers still. One of the reason we get on is we dont eat each other's treats but enjoy the same main meals.

What I love about carbonated beverages is that feeling of the fizz going down your throat. My brain just stops to focus on this sensation occupying an area that almost never sees stimulation. It's like a good back scratch for the brain.

I will however usually add 60 percent carbonated water to a sugary soda or Ocean Spray. I always did that with children to half, or more, the sugar intake.

Suggest, be very careful.... GERD may become a byproduct.
Acid reflux causes a burning sensation in the throat and chest. Drinking water, low fat milk, and herbal teas may help manage it. Alcohol, caffeinated drinks, and sodas may worsen symptoms.
GERD can lead to esophagus cancer.

That certainly can affect some. I think I have good silent burp control

I don't get any reflux but my wife does sometimes. She is a big fan of sour. Her go-to treatment for any reflux is a half lemon or lime squeezed in still water.

I don't drink it all day of course, most of my beverages are black tea (real tea) with milk / almond milk. Sometimes coffee as a first drink.

The carbonation can he a digestive aid for some people as it reduces stomach acidity a little.

Parmesan is very popular suddenly, I can't think why.

A good "functional" cheese with a lot of calcium. Sadly little K2 to help with calcium differentiation, Muenster is the gold medalist for that.

Parmesan vaulting horse? It's a shame many cheeses are so high in sodium.

This is where we diverge. I can burp well above my weight.

Quite the opposite, parmesan can have the most K2 content, its range is the widest:

7.1–76.5

The others high in K2 are Emmental, Edam, Danish Blue and Gouda.

It seems the research result my AI search worked from used grana padano which is very similar but but quite the same. I doubt that shredded packet parmesan is aged a whit but certainly ageing increases the K2 (and various chain lengths).
