Exercise keeps dementia at bay: Running and walking 'significantly' boosts brain power

I believe that serious sweating exercise everyday can solve a multitude of physical and mental ills.

But, hey, I was always crazy...and it doesn't help me.;-)

[RoosterRedux]

As an aside, yoga is great for stretching.

Do it often.

It is NOT exercise.

You could also go the curry route..but you will really stink as you sweat.

Does chasing my tail count?

:-)

[RoosterRedux]

I love curry. And my cats tell me that I even stink without it.

Seriously though...I think curry is healthy.

Isn't it?

[RoosterRedux]

I hear that catching it is even better. Good for the heart.

Of course, I wouldn't know from experience.

I’m not sure I want to live too long but I have a horror of dementia. So far, I’m living my New Year’s resolution of daily exercise. 115 days gone, 2,003 miles on my bike at about 166 hours. Now if I can only keep this up through the Florida summer swelter!

[RummyChick]

I do turmeric pills..probably not as good as cooking with curry for Inflammation and Alzheimer issues.

I think a lot is based on indian population having low incident rates

[RoosterRedux]

Sounds like you are doing great. Keep up the good work.

6+ mile power walk every other day.

Also gets me out of the house which may be the real reason for longevity ;-)

Does favoring curry mean the same as currying favor?

[RoosterRedux]

I love Indian food...have some good local friends (more like family) who are Indian doctors.

Have to order good curry sauce from Amazon. Or go to Jacksonville.

[RoosterRedux]

Sounds great. Keep it up.

Chasing Tail damn near wore me out as a youngster !

[pax_et_bonum]

ROFL!!!!!

[RoosterRedux]

I think currying favor has its etymology in the "currying of horses"...

I had a horse growing up. My best friend. My true love.

I curried him every day.

There weren't any favors attached though.

I hope I get to spend eternity in heaven currying my horse...and my cats.

That's true love.

I think I may need to pick up the pace a bit.

[Cicero]

I take turmeric pills, too. I think it’s the essential element in curry.

Also, I don’t run because as you get older it’s bad for the knees. But I walk the dogs every day, and work around the place clipping branches, raking, and so on.

[RoosterRedux]

My cats say, "I would recognize my Dad anywhere...smell him coming."

I still think I smell better than their litter box.

That said, I guess odors are all relative.

And cats have sensitive senses of smell. Or so I am told.;-)
