"Study finds three midlife health factors that could delay dementia for 13 years Study finds three midlife health factors that could delay dementia for 13 years" Tuttuja asioita: älä polta, pidä verensokeri ja verenpaine kurissa eli liiku ja syö fiksusti. Sitä olisin toivonut enemmän selitettäväksi, että miksi ruskeat ihmiset eivät mahdu näihin raameihin. #dementia #vanheneminen #terveys https://www.theguardian.com/society/2026/aug/05/midlife-health-factors-delay-dementia-study?CMP=share_btn_url

Vaccines are awesome. I try to get as many as are applicable to me. So this is pretty cool: In addition to its intended purpose, evidence has been growing that the shingles vaccine actually reduces the risk of dementia. Even more reason to be glad that my wife and I are vaccinated for shingles. #vaccines #shingles #shinglesvaccine #dementia https://youtu.be/tqnBeuWoOEk

An experimental Alzheimer's drug lowered tau protein and showed early signs of slowing decline in a study of about 400 people. Larger trials still need to confirm the benefit, but it points to a new treatment path beyond amyloid.

Goddamnit this muther f⁕⚠︎er 🤬🤬🤬 #Trump ordered new signs outside a #Smithsonian #museum that warn its depiction of #UShistory is "inaccurate." Trump claimed the signage at the National Museum of #AmericanHistory would correct what a disputed White House report described as “extreme political activism.” NO! Your initially #insane brain that has clearly succumbed to #dementia is HELLA wrong you #billionaire #racist #misogynist! F⁕⚠︎ you! #law #museums #UShistory https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/arts/design/smithsonian-signs-trump-executive-order.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

'Our ability to smell is linked to brain health, and losing this sense is often one of the first signs of neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. About 85 percent of people with early-stage Alzheimer’s have problems smelling'. https://wapo.st/4fLVSkb *I don't have a guest link, I am looking for one, if you have one please share. #PublicHealth #Health #BrainHealth #Dementia #NeurogenerativeDisorders #Alzheimers #Parkinsons #Covid19

‘The nourishing soil of the soul’: The role of #HorticulturalTherapy in promoting well-being in community-dwelling people with #dementia #Gardening can help people with dementia feel more active, connected, and less lonely by improving their physical and mental well-being. The article highlights the need for more #Accessible gardening programs in the community to support social engagement and a better quality of life. Summary: "This article explores how gardening and nature-based activities can improve the well-being of people living with dementia, especially those in a long-term care community. Many individuals with dementia experience loneliness and a decline in their ability to engage in daily activities. Gardening offers a way to stay active, connect with nature, and interact with others. Which can help reduce stress, boost mood, and improve both physical and mental health. Despite strong evidence of its benefits in care homes, horticultural therapy is not widely used in community settings. The authors highlight the need for more opportunities for people with dementia to engage in gardening, as it can promote social connections and a sense of purpose. They argue that making gardens accessible and integrating horticultural therapy into community care programs could significantly improve quality of life. By encouraging outdoor activities, people with dementia may feel more included, confident, and independent in their daily lives."

A team of scientists in Japan has identified the "seed" of a protein believed to trigger Alzheimer's disease, a discovery boosting hope for the development of a new therapy for the neurodegenerative condition. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/07/21/japan/science-health/alzheimers-study/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #sciencehealth #alzheimers #lecanemab #donanemab #health #medicine #dementia #brain

Sleeplessness can be a sign of #dementia. "Sleep troubles may affect up to 25% of people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's and about 50% of people with moderate to severe Alzheimer's." (Mayo Clinic, October 30, 2024) https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/sleepless-trump-80-goes-full-082018514.html

Looking for an Android app that will create binaural beats in audio streamed to the device by other apps - audiobooks via Audible, audio via YT etc. (Search engines return a morass of binaural beat app but nothing that works on the fly. I know I can download the streams then use Audicity or similar to change the frequency in one of the channels. I do not want to do this. 😉 ) #AndroidApps #BinauralBeats #Audiobooks #AgedCare #MemoryTherapy #Dementia #Alzheimers #LifeAsAnExperiment

Replying to @ralfmaximus@mastodon.social
@ralfmaximus@mastodon.social Yep. One of the signs of #dementia is that things that happened YEARS ago fell like they just happened yesterday. My 84 year old father (who has dementia) told his doctor a few months ago that he was crying b/c his mother had just passed away. And he is still telling people about how he "just" had an accident where he his his knee in 2017. When I told him it was "2026", he said I was "out of my mind." 🤨

Heather Cox Richardson! "Like many other observers, Nichols noted that Trump was “incoherent” in Ankara. He referred to Iran as the “Islamic Republic of Japan” and referred to Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky as “President Putin.” In an off-with-their-heads! moment, he also announced he had ordered Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to cut off all trade with Spain." https://open.substack.com/pub/heathercoxrichardson/p/july-8-2026?r=63j6s&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email #TrumpAndEpstein #Dementia #Spain #Trade #Economics #Delusion

IT IS DISTURBING how easily our psychotic #dementia-addled CiC jumps to threatening #WarCrimes and the total destruction of an entire country, and how UNFAZED the people on #Fox (nor the Admin officials they ask) are when the leader of the most powerful nation on Earth threatens #genocide to get what he wants. THIS. IS. NOT. NORMAL.

An essential column by Paul Waldman on why Trump's aging, compared to Biden's, is an even more important, actually existential, topic for the #media to cover and why aren't they? #Corporate ownership, #greed, #fascism, and this: "Reporters love to give# Democrats advice and scold them when they don’t take it, while they treat #Republicans more like a weather pattern they have no way to influence." https://www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-decline #USPol #Dementia

#3GoodThings

  1. Reading Didion's Slouching Towards Bethlehem.

  2. In #SF for #Stanford Health Library event -- a discussion of my #memoir, #caregiving, #dementia -- that has 100 registrants.

  3. Kid & partner (the inspiration behind my #bloomscrolling) started new business. Here's a link to the 1st post @plantsculptures (I left #instagram & returned only to follow them; hope this link works!) & boost their posts. Their plant sculptures are, if I may, magnificent.

Dementia is usually only identified in older people, but the neurological disease doesn’t appear out of nowhere. “Some risk factors may begin before we're even born, while others emerge as we progress through childhood into young adulthood,” writes for @ScienceAlert@flipboard.com. Here’s why that may be the best time to start intervention: https://flip.it/MDHF8F #Science #Health #Neurlogy #Dementia #Aging
