What an amazing benefit! Creating a life long exercise habit makes an incredible impact. Thanks for sharing this.

kavir.bsky.social•96 days ago

Just 18 months. That’s not a lot!

praatbank.bsky.social•95 days ago

Makes me think this is simply plain bullshit. Do we even have a standard age at what dementia should begin to compare this with🤷‍♂️.
Starts between 40-90 years. So 18 months compared to what exactly?

Exercise is such a blessing. I used to be such a bum, until I started exercising and now I've got motivation for all sorts of things now.

But pickleball will send you to the hospital.
Just go for a walk.
Don’t be running.

I am 57 and I worry about dementia and the general aging process but I exercise regularly. Weight train amd eat super healthy. No guarentees and no regret.

Maintain your core strength & motivation - you'll be fine 🙂

Let me say this, I look at exercise just as I do needing to get my sleep everyday, I use to say okay I’m gonna go run or walk because I want to be skinny. That’s the absolute wrong way to go about it, I now say okay this is good for my mental health as well as my physical health, and it truly works

I go outside almost everyday and I love hearing the birds, the wind blowing in my hair and on my face. It makes me feel alive, trust your gut listen to your instincts go outside after you wake up drink that coffee whatever it may be and go soak in the sun. Feel alive my loves enjoy.

Your soul will love you and let you know how thankful and happy it is, it doesn’t happen overnight but you will transform your whole life. If anyone needs help or motivation I’m always here. I have went through a lot and only want to see people happy. 🤟🏽

Physical activity also boosts sexual potency: at 102 years old, I have sex once a week.

Someone should post this to Trump. Could save us 18 months of a demented president. Maybe take away his golf cart so he can exercise a bit.

Very interesting

Wonder if the mechanism of action has more to do with the exercise promoting better sleep.

I can’t sleep well on days I don’t exercise, and we know the brain does self repair during sleep.

The way the world is going dementia doesn’t seem like such a bad option.

podkin.bsky.social•96 days ago

Surely a typo... are you there Dan?

auditorynerves.bsky.social•96 days ago

"The onset of all dementia was delayed by 1.48 years (95% CI 0.58 to 2.39) and the onset of AD was delayed by 1.77 years (95% CI 0.54 to 3.01) among participants with high CRF compared with low CRF, respectively."

podkin.bsky.social•96 days ago

Wow... a full 18 months!

podkin.bsky.social•96 days ago

Wow... eighteen months! But how do you know when the 18 months starts?

ba55fr33k.bsky.social•95 days ago

.. yah but you spent 18months running

seems like a net wash no?

Use of Cannabis sativa is another way to offset any onset, if onset occurs at all, with those whom look after and feed their endocannabinoid system.

reclinerking.bsky.social•96 days ago

I’ve been offsetting my whole life. In moderation.

Hi Dan, You are preaching to my choir. I hope lots of people read and become proactive. At 70 years old I live food, exercise and attitude and encourage others to follow.

rexthehawk.bsky.social•96 days ago

Lol, well I’m 72, lean, writing a second book, riding long distance in the summer, we eat highly nutrition foods, no smoking, drinking alcohol, no soda, very limited sugar in all forms, oatmeal every morning and I haven’t ate any type of baked goods for over three years. I’ll get back with you at 85

[ unrelated: any thoughts on sound sensitivity or tinnitus? are ion channels and/or glucose levels involved? Perhaps subjects for a post at some point...]

A rabbit hole for another day ... 🙂

It's almost like energy availability affects the brain!

skeenaman.bsky.social•96 days ago

I hope so. I started running long distance in 2018 and feel healthier than I did when I was 30. I am now 63.

cannotbegrouped.bsky.social•96 days ago

That hashtag did make me chortle. Bravo.
