“The world also knows Trump will be re-elected soon.”
He’ll be re-elected technically, but they’ll be sure he never steps foot into the White House again.
That is a pretty freaky set of pictures
This is the best guy from Democratic Party, apparently
It’s who they are supporting - turning out to vote for
“Read and learn....”
?????????
So what I learned is that an ice cream maker is trying to sell more ice cream, dispensing advice that flies in the face of the advice of a myriad of independent doctors, while my tax dollars go toward paying for more and more dementia addled seniors.
Please wake up.
My FIL suffered with vascular dementia for 10 years. For most of the 5 years he was in our care, we made sure he (and we) ate a healthy diet. His body was healthy but his mind continued to go. His final year with us we gave him ice cream every day. It was one of the few pleasures he had left. That and music.
The rest of the day he was agitated, yelling, crying for his parents, scared and confused. He forgot how to walk, talk, and finally how to eat.
There are studies behind this too. I read several studies at the time which suggested that the ability to taste sweets was the last taste sensation to go.
There is a point in caregiving that you come to the understanding that making them comfortable supersedes the desire to prolong their life, when it is misery for them.
My father-in-law LOVED to eat ice cream after dinner, pretty much every night the last 10 years of his life.
He had dementia, and it’s possible it was Alzheimer’s.
But, correlation /=/ causation.
Reagan ate jelly beans......could be the sugar.
I eat a lot of ice cream too; my favorite is Blue Bell’s Natural Vanilla Bean. I love it, but it doesn’t love me, except to hang around with me in the form of FAT. Sigh.
I think I’m going to be fat and dementia-free - right? ;^)
Wow, that was rough on you; bless you for taking care of him.
My guess is Trump will beat Reagan’s re-election vote totals in 1990 (I’m guessing at the year).
Reagan was elected in 1980, and reelected overwhelmingly in 1984 when Mondale won 1 state, and Reagan won 49 states.
I don’t know if it’s true or not, but I heard that Alaska has the highest consumption of ice cream, per capita, than any other state. Ice cream is good, no matter where or when, IMO.
I used to work as a front-end supervisor and then a co-manager for Kroger in the Houston area. The first big chill/freeze we had every year we ALWAYS had a run on ice cream (usually Blue Bell, of course).
Read the link in #9
Must be why I don’t keep it in the house: I eat too much of it if I do.
(And no, I’m neither young nor elderly at this point.)
Yep. Hit them up with a double-scoop of prozac!
I think Biden eating ice cream cones is just part of an effort to create an image of him as a down-to-Earth kind of guy who enjoys ice cream just like regular folks. It’s not working.
My sister had multiple brain issues - I saw how she was before and after ice cream - I know how it calmned her and helped her ‘connect”....
I am very sorry about your sister. My mom died 11 years ago from Alzheimer’s. It was kind of endearing initially, but the last month or so was absolutely horrifying. Prepare yourself.
Read/watch any number of studies (eg, search YouTube for “sugar dementia”), and you will find that the likely cause of most dementia (and heart disease and cancer and diabetes and pancreas issues and gut health issues and arthritis) is an overabundance of sugar in the diet for entire lifetimes.
So feeding an Alzheimer’s patient more sugar is, to me, akin to giving a cancer patient a pack of cigarettes, or an alcoholic a bottle of whiskey. Sure it makes them feel better in the short run, but...
Thats why I like fruit in my ice cream.
I reckon I was demented from the age of 7 or so,
Home made blueberry or peach icecream....WOW!
I have to watch the fat too, so I only eat ice cream in the hot months most of the time.
Old fashioned flavors are good too, like rum and raisin, and then there is coconut icecream( so good but hard to find.)
Ahh, the old crank buckets are now electric. Easy!
That info for Thrive is just an ad for a product-I’ve seen it on some of the fitness and bodybuilding sites I’ve visited to get workout stuff and a new yoga mat...
As an organic healthy living type, I visit the health food/supplement websites on a pretty regular basis for info on new stuff, etc. There are several sites where nutritionists/dieticians rate supposed “healthy” foods-usually dessert and snack items. There are several ice cream brands marketed as healthy that have a good “real” nutrition rating-and Thrive is NOT one of them-it is just regular ice cream with about 5 times as many carbs as protein, with some vitamins added. Adding vitamins does not make a food item “healthy” Thrive might as well be frozen Boost or Pediasure. If you want to feed someone something to keep them happy, there are healthier brands with much less sugar to choose.
I agree-I’m technically an “old” person-there is no way I’m stuffing myself with sugar and carbs when I never have before-when my number is up, I want to make the trip in a fit body...
