A few steps in a healthier direction apparently can curb dementia precursors, seemingly as much as 28% in just three years, if I read the abstract correctly.

...I’d rather just get old peacefully.

So, the internet cures dementia? BS. READING helps; conservative sites are #1.

My dad made it a few weeks of 90. Somewhat interesting because he quit
smoking after 55 years of cigarettes. He quit at 75.

But a healthy diet and taking a lot of vitamins / nutritional supplements
worked out pretty well for him.

Exercise is the key.

Without it nothing else works.

I just think it’s genes, or luck. Live normally. Eat and drink sensibly and moderately. God will take you when He wants to.

This article says that the best diet is limited meat and dairy is best. A study tomorrow will say keto is best.

When centenarians are asked their secrets to long life, the answers are varied and humorous sometimes (I’ve noticed a lot of “whiskey every day”).

My mom was the oldest of four sisters, and they were one year apart in age. Her diet was what we’d consider not the healthiest (meat, potatoes, gravy, dessert), and she didn’t make a point to exercise, although she was always doing something. Sisters #3 and #4 led similar lives.

Sister #2 was obsessed with diet and exercise to a point where you’d want to smack her with her sanctimonious criticisms of others.

Mom lived the longest — three months short of 100. The “healthy” one, Sister #2, died first.

All Baptist preachers’ wives, so no drinking or smoking.

Their minds were sharp until the end.
