l made this post in the aging parents sub and l got banned for it. l personally don't see anything wrong with it, so if there's an issue, mods l would prefer a warning and correction, not a ban from nowhere.

I'm a certified geriatric medical doctor, and l also volunteer to take care of older patients in my free time. Just wanted to let you know that a lot of muscle loss and loss of strength is avoidable, and you can still be strong in your old age. I'm going to try to explain the analogy in the simplest way possible. Forgive me if it sounds dumb.

Our bodies are like a Lego castle, and muscles are made from protein Lego bricks. Our bodies need a constant reminder to keep those blocks together. When people get older, they usually stop lifting heavy things or challenging their bodies.

But without the hard work of pushing or pulling against weight, like doing squats out of a chair or using stretchy bands, the body thinks you don't need those muscles anymore and starts throwing the bricks away.

At the same time, older people need to eat more protein, because their bodies waste a lot of those proteins and do not turn them into the amino acids efficiently needed to make muscle. But you know, a lot of older people don't like protein-heavy meals; they prefer tea, toast, etc. Without new Lego bricks coming in from food, the body gets desperate for energy and actually tears down its own muscles to burn them as firewood just to stay alive.

So doing nothing will melt the muscle and make them weaker over time. To stop this, make sure you do some strength exercises; it doesn't have to be intensive, just enough to remind your body not to break down those muscles. Also, make sure you are eating enough easy-to-digest protein bricks every single day.

l hope this does not sound like a water-is-wet analogy. Feel free to ask questions, l will be happy to answer.

Hello, I'm a certified geriatric medical doctor, and l also volunteer to take care of older patients in my free time. Just wanted to let you know having your parents not lift things or do things by themself is doing more damage than good. I'm going to try to explain the analogy in the simplest way possible.

So I saw a niche that a lot of people are making sales in through organic traffic on a certain platform, and I think it could do even better on another platform I've used before. The people on that platform really like this type of stuff.

The issue is that I have problems with payment processors where I'm from, so actually selling the product is going to be difficult for me.

Because of that, I'm looking for a partner who's willing to try and scale this with me.

Not a lot of capital is needed. Matter of fact, almost none at all besides maybe a domain name and Shopify hosting.

If you're someone who has access to payment processors, experience running online stores, or you're just interested in building something together, feel free to reach out.

I'm 21 and have been in the make-money-online space for about 4 years now. I've tried a bit of everything, from dropshipping to affiliate marketing, and I've picked up a lot of experience along the way.

I feel like my location has been one of the biggest things holding me back. I'm from South Africa, and we don't have access to a lot of the opportunities, payment processors, and organic marketing platforms that people in other countries take for granted. Organic marketing on has been especially difficult.

I've managed to make over $10k from affiliate marketing, with around $2k earned so far this year.

Since organic marketing has always been a challenge here, my next step was going to be paid ads. I'm actually pretty good at marketing, and I was confident I could make it work. But right when I had saved up enough money to start testing, life happened and I had to spend almost all of my $1.5k savings. Now I'm basically back at square one.

I also used to run a subreddit that was growing well and generating income for me, but that recently got banned, so I'm rebuilding from the ground up again.

I'm mainly posting this because I'm hoping to find someone with experience, resources, or complementary skills who's interested in figuring this out together. I'm looking for serious partners, not people trying to pitch affiliate offers.

If you have experience building online businesses, traffic generation, paid ads, content, or you simply live in a country with access to opportunities that aren't available here, I'd love to connect and see if there's something we can build together.
