40 Habits to Reduce Your Risk of Dementia After 40
Full details at the link.
1. Get some natural sunlight. One hour biking or two hour walks.
reading emails and writing blog posts.
4. Learn to play an instrument. After 40 I learned the saxophone and piano, neither of which I will probably ever play again. My doctor had absolutely nothing to recover my hand, of course he had nothing for any part of my recovery.
7. Practice yoga. Nope.
8. Meditate. Nope.
9. Listen to music. Long road tips are good for going thru dozens of CDs.
10. Learn a new language. I think I learned only one new programming language after 40, PL1.
me.
12. Enjoy regular workouts. Yep, biking, walking.
13. Start gardening. Not unless I want to start a guerilla plot of marijuana in the natural area next to me.
14. Log at least seven hours of sleep at night. Getting there.
15. Lose those extra pounds. Lost 20 already that I gained post stoke, 15 left to go.
16. And then try to maintain a consistent weight. I've been consistently at the current level for the past two years.
17. Get your fasting blood sugar checked. I'm sure it was checked via my last blood test, don't know what it was. Doctor wasn't concerned.
18. Spend time with your friends. COVID-19 blew that out of the water.
19. Brush your teeth. Yep.
20. Lower your cholesterol. Yep.
21. Drink more coffee. I do 12 cups a day, one pot. A friend wanted me to clarify this because when I use one of his mugs it holds 5 cups as measured by the coffee pot lines, so not 12 mugs of coffee.
23. Try a beet latte. Never, tried drinking beet juice once, even diluted 9 to 1 it was undrinkable.
24. Eat more mushrooms. Magic ones?
27. Make a Facebook account. Never use mine.
29. Load up on red fruits. Red wine is good for this.
30. Limit your alcohol intake. But I'm supposed to load up on red fruits that you just suggested in #29.
31. And when you do drink, enjoy a glass of red wine. A friend gave me a glass that holds a whole bottle of wine. Is that what you mean?
32. Eat more salmon and tuna. Salmon two nights a week.
34. Be cognizant about the medications you take. OK.
35. Always wear a helmet. Yep
36. Stop drinking soda. Quit that years ago.
38. Quit smoking. Never did.
39. Get your ears checked. On my list for next Dr. appt. along with new shingles vaccine.
40. Adhere to the Mediterranean diet. But you just said Keto in #33.
