Agree... Bad backs and arthritis and you have slow gait and weak grip. It’s called aging.

[maddog55]

Cancer from Kentucky Bourbon.... I’d like to see the science on that one.

It wasn’t science it was an individual medical issue, same thing when liberals confuse weather with climate, that is what you just did

[dila813]

True, loved by all

Cue the photos of Joe...

Nope, I agreed on a post which is not the same as liberals confusing weather and climate change... Coming to that thought from a post about back problems and arthritis would be signs of early stages of dementia.

[maddog55]

That should confuse you more !!

So all of the Antifa FBI soi bois are about to fall into dementia. Sounds amusing.

Biden has a poor gait and a weak grip on reality.

Does that count?

Combination of poor gait and weak hand grip could be early indicators of dementia

It could also be an indicator of joint problems and/or age related loss of muscle mass.

You mean telling a story about a single old man and demanding to see the science?

I struggle with the timing of supplements that have to be taken multiple times a day on an empty stomach, followed by a 30-minute wait before eating. I’m not a constant eater, but while I have no problem with the 1st (morning) dose, it’s tough to consistently be in that position the rest of the day.

WTF are you talking about?

Researchers found slow walking speed combined with weak hand grip was a stronger predictor of cognitive decline and dementia in older adults than either measure alone.

Not a word about a single old man wanting to see the science.

Talk about demented idiots.

We were talking about my grandpa

Diet, diet, diet.

Our vascular problems are closely related to what we put in and through our bodies.

Smoking also does a number on your circulation.

As an active golfer in a retirement community, it is easy to spot people suffering from physical and mental decline by the way they walk. I almost never get irritated by how slow they are because there but for the grace of God go I. Also, golfers, like me, with weak grips slice the ball. I have to remind myself to maintain a grip on the club.

I quit walking a couple of years ago because carrying the golf bag aggravated my shoulder. Even with a cart, golfers can still put in a couple of miles while golfing with a cart.

It used to be that it took a couple of aspirin and some breakfast before a normal gait could be achieved.

Now I’m precluded from taking aspirin.

I was talking about the article. As for your grandpa and Kentucky Bourbon being antifreeze for his blood, he had a sense of humor.... It didn’t cause his cancer hence the “I said I’d like to see the science on that”. i.e cause his cancer.

[dila813]

They don’t do science for a single case, brother, ug
