No country for old men: The struggles of aging in America

Mr Edwin (not his real name) is always in constant search for herbal ingredients to add to his dietary intake. He is obsessed with healthy eating.

At 73 years of age, he can’t take the risk of getting sick in America. He still works and maintains an active lifestyle. His mornings start with tea made of lemongrass mixed with honey, afterward, he grinds ginger, lemon, kale, and a bunch of other fruits in the blender. His neighbours upon hearing the noise his blender makes, they know its 5:00 am. They jokily tell him that his blender is like a rooster crowing every morning. A perfect alarm clock.
