Doped up high profile pensioners
Discussion
Has anyone else wondered how high profile pensioners are/were able to maintain the schedules they do? I'm thinking your Joe Bidens, Donald Trumps, top tier Royal Family, various rock stars etc.
Lots of international travel, endless interviews/public appearances where you have to be "on it", live speeches, massive workloads.
Most pensioners I know are asleep on the sofa by 10 if they have a busy day out at the garden centre. How do these people do it? Do they sneak in a lot of r&r? Are they drugged up to the eyeballs?

I reckon not having to do any of the chores of life helps.
Get ferried around everywhere, fed and watered, told where and when to be. You dont lift a finger until somebody tells you to wave at a crowd or hands you a pre written speech to read.
The President is a little different but your average royal hasnt washed a dish in their life.

My Dad is 78, Mum is 83. Both very active, up at 5am, still go to the gym every day. Out and about, driving, holidays, doing things every day. You ve just got to keep your mind and body active. They aren t ones for sitting about on the couch all day watching TV.

They can afford top healthcare.
I expect they get monthly blood test which checks vitamin levels and stuff.
They could also have a personal chef that prepares and cooks healthy meals.
I recently made some adjustments to my diet which has made a massive impacts on my energy levels.
Is there anything particular that you added and/or removed?I expect they get monthly blood test which checks vitamin levels and stuff.

I've always struggled with fatigue, tried pretty much everything including exercise, supplements etc. Sleep is fine.
My diet is generally decent but could probbaly be improved if I tried.
There is that rumour with Trump & the usually elastoplast ‘ed back of his hand that he gets regular intravenous for something.
The Royals & the super rich get the best of everything generally. Anything wrong & they get whipped over to the best consultants in minutes. Food etc etc.
Although I do wonder if now & again if they go sod it , & order an Indian from down the high street & sit in front of Ant & Dec on a Saturday night!

Exactly this, my dad is 85 and only really started slowing down 2 years ago when mum died unexpectedly. If you don’t use it, you lose it.

I ditched tomatoes, potatoes, aubergine and bell peppers. I have osteoarthritis and it seems to help.I've always struggled with fatigue, tried pretty much everything including exercise, supplements etc. Sleep is fine.

I'm also going to ditch wheat. I'm awaiting a new cook book.

The Royals are driven to and from everywhere, no thinking about parking. They meet Mr Joe Scroggins, before that happens someone is whispering in the Royals ear - "This is Joe Scroggins, you met him when you opened the new wing at the hospital 3 years ago. So the Royal can trill "Mr Scroggins it must be three years since we last met, how nice to see you again". Scroggins thinks, "Christ, what a memory".
It's easy when you have all the back up in place.
Then back in the chauffeur driven and another nap.

IV 'supplements' are pretty common in the US. Where I used to stay, the local strip mall had two 'clinics' offering it.The Royals & the super rich get the best of everything generally. Anything wrong & they get whipped over to the best consultants in minutes. Food etc etc.

Once went out and got way too pissed sampling as many of the 80+ craft beers on tap with a colleague. Next day, I was utter death. He breezed in seemingly better than usual.
When I asked how the f
k he managed it, he let me know he'd swung by one of these clinics for a "$80 shot in the arm" - pretty much instant hangover cure. CLK-GTR said:

Not quite the same story, but in the nineties the most successful Japanese golfer Jumbo Ozaki used to click his fingers when he wanted a flunkey to light and pass him a cigarette during a tournament.

This was staged, obvs, but quite amusing :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpUyNyeTM9A&t=...
But I could imagine William actually ordering a curry in for real.
They are probably kept topped up with cocktails of the latest TRT and peptide treatments as well as tip top dietary and healthcare provision. It wouldn't surprise me if they were also dabbling in pharma grade stimulants before taking to the stage or a major event.
Take a look at RFK Jr, he's a regular in the gym lifting weights that a lot of people couldn't and ripped at 71 Y/O.
Most people start to struggle to contain the darby kel from their mid 20's onwards yet he, Biden and a few others manage to stay relatively trim despite the socials and everything else that goes with being high profile.

Well that is physical bit sorted, needs a lot of work on the bits though...Take a look at RFK Jr, he's a regular in the gym lifting weights that a lot of people couldn't and ripped at 71 Y/O.
Mick Jagger at least puts in multiple hours a day of exercise and always has done.
As for others, I would've thought endless stimulation is a help in staying sharp, and having one's needs provided on demand of course.
If you sit on your arse watching Pebble Mill all day you may be more inclined to let inertia and decline sneak up on you. The mind is a powerful thing.
