5½ years ago I figured out I had gluten issues. I did tons and tons of research on the conditions I had and corelated to a lot of things. Even historically. Gluten is the biggest and first thing I would say needs to go! Processed foods and processed sugars. I think honey and nector isn't to bad. I said around 4½ years ago after doing my research that the proteins from gluten is cause the.protein issues in the brain. I did a lot of research and studied Alzheimers and dementia. Both my grandmother's mental decline. My mom's mom was full blown Alzheimers, my dad's mom was dementia till she passed at 94. I was trying to under stand what and where this protein they was talking about. I was telling people left and right I believed whole heartedly that gluten has created these protein issues. Not to long ago a study can out how it creates inflammation in the brain! It has been known for thousands of years and discovered medically not long after industrial agriculture arose! I got so much information shoved in my head. Lol

WHY CAN”T I POST THIS COMMENT? IT IS COMPLETELY FACTUAL: As I commented previously, I was taking aricept for approx 12 months. It increases acetylcholine in the brain. This gave me clarity to learn more. I have always had a keen interest in physiology and the brain specifically. I have read many books on the brain - for fun let's say, through the years. I found that the diet completely outdid the medication by the acetylcholine levels imparted from red meat and it became superfluous. Beef, salmon, eggs all contain this. I also eat lamb, pork in the form of bacon so as to get enough fat and chicken occasionally. I use ghee and butter. At the same time the diet reduced inflammation, reversed the insulin resistance and improved mitochondrial function. This resulted in much more efficient autophagy in every cell of the body. I have tried many times to follow low carb and was likely keto adjacent at times. But as you say when the brain energy is poor it all becomes too hard to work out and I did find myself buying ready to eat junk food a while. I'm grateful for the medication as it got me going and helped me remember what I already knew. All the best

Most elderly people have problems getting up off the floor. As a child you spend a lot of time on the floor, adults do not. Doing yoga / stretching exercises on the floor can improve balance, mobility, flexibility and the ability to get up and down.. Just getting up and down to the floor in a controlled manner is difficult for many older adults. Play with your children on the floor. Bend over, get down and pull weeds in your garden. Play with a pet on the floor. The more effort you make to work on balance and flexibility will pay dividends as you age.

She was terrified about getting dementia as you stated. That’s quantum physics and the law of assumption. We focus on something it ends up manifesting or expanding. Sadly no schools nor doctors teach us about this and the power of our brains because governments and big pharma don’t want people to know how powerful we really are cos if everyone knew we wouldn’t need them. This is why you have people with similar genetics who live long and healthy even though their diets have never been that good while their sibling who was obsessed with healthy eating got cancer etc. Or people who smoke all their lives and never get cancer year others get lung cancer after smoking a few years. I wish people were more open minded and made more of an effort to learn and research about subjects nobody really talks about.

For years I worked as an assistant actuary, cashing out retirees and accessing mortality rates to keep from bankrupting the fund. Basically, you have a file on this person showing the medical records (health, ethnicity, which will tell you of their culture - important, & age), employment record (sociability, stress, discipline issues), and any other data you have (hobbies, etc.). The pension was for a religious organization so having faith was somewhat of a given. A bit of math magic and you come up with a number basically gambling on how long the person would live. The money in their pension would then be divvied up over that range of time in monthly payouts. 10-11 years on the max side, but most died within the first 2-3 years because of the sedentary lifestyle kicking in. People hit a type of limbo in restructuring their lives. Keep as busy as you can (hobbies, side hustles), eat healthy and stay fit! Just like the lady said!

People understimate how much we can heal just by changing what and how much we eat. I was having horrible symptoms a few years ago. Doctors couldn’t understand what was wrong. I did an MRI, a CT scan and blood tests and they kept saying they didn’t know what it was. I decided to do my own research, took bad carbs from my diet and kept the good ones such as beans and veg and started IF (intermittent fasting). 3 weeks later I started feeling better and better and have been feeling great since. If I do eat bad carbs or sugars or eat more than once a day I notice after a couple of days I’m not feeling as good anymore. Another thing fasting is amazing for is energy and brain function. My memory, concentration and thinking ability has improved a lot since I started fasting. People in general eat too much. Far more than they need and too many times a day.

My mother died from mixed dementia - Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia. It’s a cruel illness which robs the sufferer of their memory and personality typically gradually over 5-10 years. It’s often also characterised by behavioural changes. Hence the description the long good bye and the living hell suffered by most sufferers and their loved ones. But it doesn’t have to be that way! Mine is an essentially a good news story. I cared for my mum single handedly over 8-10 years. The doctors absolutely right lifestyle changes can stave off the disease - a good diet, avoidance of red meat and alcohol coupled with regular exercise helps. Many members of my mum’s family have suffered from dementia but my mum was able to stave it off until she reached about 90 by following such advice. Whereas my aunt who lived alone (socialising and keeping your brain active helps - crosswords and meeting people) was hit with dementia much earlier and passed away earlier. My mum lived quite well with dementia ( I believe there’s good and bad dementia affected by the type and lifestyle choices that the sufferers have) until the last few months of her life. She passed away earlier this year at 97 and only spent the last 5 days of her life in a home. Most importantly she wasn’t diagnosed with dementia until 90 approximately 10 years later than my aunt and was able to live at home with me until she died whereas my aunt wen5 into a nursing home and 80 and spent her last few years in an armchair watching tv like a zombie. Although suffering from dementia my mum had a “good” dementia- her behaviour was generally compliant.she went for long walks around a local wildlife park and shopped with me most days. She lived off of a diet of porridge salmon and broccoli. And no alcohol! Whats good for the heart is also food for the brain. We aren’t taught enough about brain health in the uk. And these little or no adult social care. Our politicians argue amongst themselves and successive Governments have shamefully allowed our public services to decline to the point of collapse. You need the support of family and friends to survive. I’m following in my mums footsteps. I’m 67 but eat well and go jogging most days. I drink zero alcohol Guinness and lots of smoothies. And continue to eat a lot of salmon and broccoli. But o have the odd treat - a beef burger for lunch to day and a Charlie bighams steak and ale pie later this week. God bless.

He’s always been very physically active. He’s tall, 6’3” and thin. He’s never been overweight. He was in the hospital one time for what they thought was a tick bite. They never figured out what it was. Antibiotics and steroids cleared it out and he went home. I think he was there about five days. He was cutting a tree down in his 20’s. It fell on his head and split his head open from front to back. Just the scalp, it didn’t break any bones. My mamaw sewed his head shut. He refused to go to the doctor. As a child I remember seeing that big scar on his head when he would cut his hair really short. You would think he could live to be 100, but he could go at any time. The same for all of us. I do think staying active, eating healthy, avoiding alcohol, cigarettes and drugs are definitely big helps in life. He’s one of 16. All of his younger siblings but one have passed away. They did drink, smoke, and just not take very good care of themselves . Excluding one sister who contracted some disease that’s very treatable if caught soon enough, but they were treating her for cancer. However, genetics could still be against us no matter what we do.

[@rowhuw3553]

You can genuinely recognise this with how bad your memory gets when you start a stressful job with a lot of responsibilities and different projects to manage. Once I started working on a lot of different, varied projects, everything that was not those projects was starting to get lost in between them because of the stress.

[@melanieparry]

As a nurse i noticed that the a higher percentage of patients with dementia were very clever, had stressful jobs etc

[@arleenaartvark1141]

Einstein also had dementia

[@manicminer-o3j]

Lack of sleep caused by stress I think is the cause of the dementia.

[@Scott0909-j7m]

[@jonathanspear850]

I am sorry to hear about your uncle. I used to head heavy leather balls too when I was a lad but the force from heading the ball is too weak to cause brain damage. I am 62 and I have played and coached social soccer all my life. None of my soccer mates have any indication of dementia. Head injury such as motor vehicle crashes and medical issues such as hypothyroidism double the risk of developing dementia. Lifestyle factors such as social exercise and mental effort reduce the risk of dementia. Dementia is common in older adults. 5% for over 70 and over a third for over 90 but most older people don’t develop dementia. Dementia is not a normal part of ageing. Best wishes for your family

[@karlakay]

Dang. Hypothyroidism? The 'thing' I've been trying to Balance for 35 years? Sigh

[@Enceladus007]

Another way of speeding up dementia is quitting smoking then continuing the nicotine addition with nicotine gum. I like the Fruitfusion flavour and been using them for a year! Really affects memory and give me chest pains and back causing sudden jerks. Got to go cold turkey soon.

My mother was super active, she wouldn't sit down, bi-lingual, read a lot, brilliant at maths and ate a healthy Mediterranean diet. No-one in her family had diabetes, cancer or heart problems and were healthy. Somehow she developed this terrible disease. If it's going to catch you, it will.

Football (soccer in the USA), is generally no problem *if* a no-headers rule is in use.

[@f50koenigg]

As a shy person, Im kinda screwed then 😂😂. I think one of the best way to counter balance this is excercise.

[@Utubedeletescomments]

" shy person" ? You have one life & you're" shy "? Grow up ! Smh

[@blendi3825]

Keep a pet or do gardening. Find something interesting to keep you interested.

[@paulanderson2963]

That comment above that said grow up was amusing to me. Somebody is declaring that they are shy and the advice ends up being a very hostile get over yourself remark. As a shy person such aggressive behavior would definitely not make me want to go out and interact with others. I can only imagine that the person must have been intentionally trying to reinforce the individual's desire to shy away from interacting with others otherwise I can't see what other effect they thought their behavior would have had.

[@paulanderson2963]

@@ADAJ3KINGANGEL Being shy in itself is not usually a choice. It usually comes from issues with self-confidence, sometimes mental health challenges and trauma. Similar to depression you can't just tell somebody to get over their shyness. Especially if one was not exposed much as a young person when you're an adult and you act awkward around other adults the negative backlash and feedback you get will usually just reinforce the low self-esteem and cause the person to withdraw even further. It usually takes positive encouragement and some amount of supportive people around them to get them out of their shell. Again just telling them man up or get over yourself may work for some people who respond to that kind of feedback but there are people out there who need a more gentle approach. One size fits all doesn't really work.

I sometimes wonder how my life would be different had I not had a concussion in elementary school (from falling off of playground equipment) that resulted in several hours of total amnesia. Not to mention the other times, as a young adult, that I had been knocked unconscious in bicycle and motorcycle accidents. Or maybe the results won't show up until I get older.

What she didn't address and what I think is a major concern, is all the toxic chemicals in our environment... and daily products and foods we consume and use on a daily basis.

[@solomongrundy1467]

The FDA approves neurotoxins and other toxic chemicals that negatively impact our health. All the pollution and toxins created by industrialized societies keep us very sick. Humanity needs to find a different way to live instead of obsessing over money.

[@Brad-xo3xq]

[@LagMasterSam]

It's amazing how in denial the medical community (and people in general) are about the obvious fact that literally everything is polluted now (including food.) And if you dare suggest that might be the cause of all our health problems you're a conspiracy nut.

Omega 3 Omega 3 Omega 3 heals brain inflammation, but only in sufficient dose. 1 capsule, recommended on most packages is not enough! Preventively you should take 500mg DHA and 500mg EPA daily , and therapeutically twice as much.
