To sum up from my perspective we should do the following: 1- Physical Movement - any sport like running 2- Mental Stimulation - seems to me like doing something a little harder than what you're used to as to workout our brains 3- Social Engagement 4- Stress Management - more stress than normal - continonous stress - will ruin your goals 5- Diet & Nutrition 6- Sleep, & Mental Rest - every machine needs a rest to keep high quality products * Change is hard, but it worth it. * Do not try to accomplish many goals at the same time, do it one by one according to priority. * "It has to be a team effort" - maybe do the previous with others who want to have a healthy brain.

I appreciated the information on keeping the brain healthy as long as I'm alive.

@KZbin Account im watching at 2x. Still not worth the time.

[@serenamazza896]

Thank you 🙏

[@johnathanwhitehead4993]

Thank you. I was expecting him to say it in concrete terms and summarize at the end to facilitate learning. I listened to this while driving and didn't catch anything specific besides the exercise components and social aspect. I was furious until I read your response. Thanks again

"The first thing you should do is something. And then you do two somethings, and then three somethings." Words to live by. Really, though ...

[@drsanjayortho173]

Lol

[@TruthPunch]

It means START SOMEWHERE. I’m concerned about your cognition.

[@TheBeadingStudio]

I enjoyed his calm voice. He was very informative, I completely enjoyed his talk.

[@estherhalvorson-hill7510]

Heard Professor Anunsen speak today. The research going on about the aging brain is fascinating!

[@notagain3732]

Im 7 years too late but i must say , better late than never. I love this talk

[@joblasco5586]

What "strategies"? This is all rah-rah, protect your brain, it's important - I already knew that. Not one word about HOW.

[@katiemarte5354]

i think it's Ted talks issue. They are the ones who create the title, not the speaker. The speaker is just trying to help you.

[@sherylhartley4557]

I agree.

[@lilithrogers5204]

Gee, sad that so many people wrote such negative comments. Do love the story of the 122.5 year old woman.

[@TylerSimonds]

Newberg, OR? I wonder if the city he mentions has actually made substantial strides toward being brain-friendly. And what “brain-friendly” entails.

[@HealthyNews]

Your brain’s health depends on a variety of factors. And while you can’t control your genetical predisposition, you do have control over other things that can help you stay healthy.

[@BobF510]

This content is so eye-opening! I read a book on the same topic that was transformational. "The Art of Saying No: Mastering Boundaries for a Fulfilling Life" by Samuel Dawn

[@godgamingbaaz]

Nice

[@GG-gf3dx]

Agree with others. Lacking any useful info

[@TheWildbill242]

You might want to do some research into a man called Li Ching Yuen. He was a Chinese herbalist that live to be around 200 years.

[@Who-yo3xh]

big hamburger, where is the beef ?

[@bluellamaslearnbeyondthele2456]

Why is everybody clapping? he basically said nothing.

[@booboo8460]

Gosh. Someone steps out of the "5 steps to prevent cognitive decline" and it's a bucket of dog poo... Despite not being as concrete as I'm used to, it was very inspiring. And kind of sad to think he said this in 2014, and 4 years later people aren't the wiser, and therefore, still powerless.

[@jimmysindia]

i forgive you for the waste of my time.....

[@tee1736]

Man what a voice this guy has

[@kayligo]

All these videos of people talking but not Helping or having any actual concrete steps to take. SO FRUSTRATING!

[@bluellamaslearnbeyondthele2456]

You're such a smart girl

[@BlueSkies360]

Aggghhhhhh wasted my time. No answers

[@billfrancis7852]

Blue Skies good pep talk though lol

[@kylemilligan5804]

10:20 there's your answer

[@kylemilligan5804]

Go to 10:20 if you want to find out the "how". The story of the 122.5 year old is cool but the rest of his speech could put a meth head to sleep

[@juanmb7356]

Do somethIng; then 2 somethings... What a Terrible talk!

[@jcjensenllc]

not much useful information - more like a waste of time.

[@TheWildbill242]

Li Chin Yuen lived to around 200 years. He was a Chinese herbalist. You might want to do some research on this man.

[@godlikerevolutionary1475]

Swag on uh hundred. Call that b**** potato

[@sherylhartley4557]

This would have been way more helpful if he told us WHAT to do. This was just a lot of words that could have been shortened to about 5 minutes.

[@veronicagreenaway6842]

What a dull looking empty vessel, saying nothing. Full of hot air.

[@jazzmonblazz]

Lousy talk frankly...

[@cliffllewellyn7623]

boring,,,no help

[@ThaidUp]

What a terrible talk. The worse TED talk that I watched.
