And we've gotta do all this
And we've gotta do all this while trying to eat to excess all those foods we're equally 'guaranteed' will protect our hearts, bones, joints, prostates and all points between. Efficacy aside, who's got time for all that?
ohhh...yeah... wait...what did you say again?
Lol! I agree... there's been a surplus of stories about studies and/or product messages about How to Fight Dementia. I got my doubts...only time will tell if ANY of this stuff works....and by that time, we'll all be too old to apply this new-found knowledge.
What if our little brains are just wired to start sputtering and shorting out, once we reach a certain age? What if our society just accepts that a little cognitive confusion ain't a bad thing...it's just life? And that dementia isn't a sign of diminished intelligence ... just a different form of intelligence. Maybe we need to reshape our expectation that we will always be sharp, slim, toned, tanned, full-headed and shiny-toothed.
