The Best Paragraph I've Read: Economists, sports scientists and psychologists have analyzed Olympic performances and chess matches, as well as thousands of online quizzes to determine the average age when people peak mentally and physically. They are trying to understand how our brain and bodies work and if there are lessons on strengthening each. The good news is that while we may have peaked in one endeavor, we are likely getting better in another.  This paragraph comes from the Wall Street Journal. The article is titled: "Here's When We Hit Our Physical and Mental Peaks." The article is written by Clare Ansberry. You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/heres-when-we-hit-our-physical-and-mental-peaks-3b0f9a01 Zac and Don discuss physical and mental peaks.
