I go to my dad’s house every night to do things and hang out with him. We have an agreement that I text or call him 15 minutes before I come over.

If he forgets to turn the AC on, his house his hot as shit. Tonight, it was 87 degrees in his house. And he sleeps like that too!

So, do senior citizens just no longer recognize they’re boiling? Is it the thinning of the skin or something?

I remember my grandparents cranked up the heat super hot and with space heaters in the winter.

It is his meds or loss of blood circulation. I have been 'hot' all my life and at 70 i have been forced to take blood pressure meds that make the temp of 72 Cold. So, they are Not boiling. YOU will be there soon, LMAO.

72 is generally cold to me if I'm not really doing anything which requires physical activity.

I also have a slower heart rate than the average person (sometimes as low as 40bpm). Which I imagine causes a slightly lower than average core body temperature at rest. When I do cardio, my peak heart rate is 120-135bpm. My father and uncle's resting heart rate is 70-100 in comparison.

Do you do anything to try to reverse the effects of aging?

[–] 1 pt

What? That makes no sense and is impossible. Yes i still work on my house and mow and i can still walk several miles to keep active. But 'reverse' of age and nature is not reality.

reverse the effects of aging.

To me your denial is no different than all the fat people who argue that weight is genetically programmed and diet and exercise wont fix it. Not trying to attack you, just giving my perspective. Personally I'm ammazed how few people make any intelligent effort to advance anti aging knowledge.

It is hard to justify dedicating a large amount of my time to that persuit at my age, with so many other things demanding my time; but after retirement I can't imagine not spending a good amount of effort on it.
