ALZHEIMERS NEWS-NEURO

these researchers are doing research to see if doing these
healthy things over 18 months can slow the progression
of mild cognitive impairment thats my diagnosis from
converting to early alzheimers disease

it also appears to be good for all of us to do this
even those without memory issues or family history of memory loss

here is the link to the article

i think they can
i actually hope they can
i wonder if this is why my memory got better
i thinks so
i believe so

they use the acronym
n e u r o

n is for nutrition
eating the mind diet a combo of the mediterranean diet and dash diet
just doing this may push back symptoms for 5 years
if thats true
my five years may be up since ive been doing this for 5 years
i hope the good continues for a little longer

e is for exercise
i think of exercise as the newest drug to treat memory loss
it
increases blood flow to the brain
brings in oxygen nutrition and increases new blood vessels
all make memory better
plus you feel better doing it

now my exercise routine is not a gym thing
i move a lot working here at the country n
gardening
doing a lot of manual labor at habitat for humanity
eg i worked 4 hours this week cutting down trees
and stacking brush

u is for unwinding
meditation yoga are the best to do
relieving stress lowers the stress hormones cortisol in the
brain
these hormones can hasten the onset of alzheimers disease

i use gardening and yard work as my form of unwinding
i frequently will stop for several minutes
listen to the birds
the turkeys the owls the whippoorwills even do calls back and
forth with quail
watch the butterflies and hummingbirds
enjoy the beautiful waves of wildflowers that are in our pastures

r is for rest
a good uninterrupted night sleep free of electronic devices
free of sleep apnea or other sleep disturbances

now i have really struggled with this over the last 5 years
the side effect of the aricept (donepezil) has left me with
only 5 hours a night
recently for the last 4 weeks i have been sleeping those
needed 7-8 hours at night
a life changing event for me
i feel so much better and am more productive
i can see looking back over the last 5 years how much this lack
of sleep has altered my life
i can only wonder how much it affected my memory
it couldnt have helped this not sleeping

i found a minimal minuscule dose of melatonin that seems
to work perfectly for me
its hard to believe that these few drops are making my life better
way below the recommended doses
i gradually tapered it down to the dose that worked
normal doses for me made be fidgety and not able to sleep

remember dont just start taking this stuff without discussing
it with your health provider
not every one can tolerate it
not everyone can safely take it

o is for optimizing social and mental activity
if you retire and become sedentary you will not do well
physically or mentally
you have to get out into the world and do things
listen to music plays concerts museums
socialize with friends neighbors

no couch potatoing allowed
when it comes to your brain

i aggressively try to do optimizing every days
all my volunteering is the conduit for optimizing
as is blogging

if you have a family history of dementia
or if you are having memory issues
you need to jump on this regimen
heck
we all should be doing it anyway
it may
like what happened to me
slow down the process


a reminder
we support the alzheimers texas
the former central texas chapter of the alzheimers association
it has always been an independent chapter
but this year it opted to go totally independent
since
all the money raised now all stays locally
all the research money goes to texas universities
all the education money stays here for programs in your communities
in the central texas area

so go to this link for more information
www.txalz.org/walk
also this is the link to the upcoming walks

the first i will do is the williamson county alzheimers walk
in georgetown
on saturday september 24th

my team is the organicgreendoctor

consider donating and or joining our team for that walk

karma

KARMA
now i believe in karma
sometimes you have to wait for years and years
for her to take her revenge
sometimes
she acts fast

pinterest.com

this week she did both
acted years later
acted within a few days

kenneth starr was the prosecutor who went after the clintons
in the 1990s
he spent millions of millions of our taxpayer dollars to go
after the clintons
some reports say it was as much as 80 million bucks

he spent months and months investigating them
there were lots of common folks who
were caught in the wake of his investigation

we knew a lot of people who had to lawyer up
who didnt do anything wrong
who spent life savings to protect themselves
even though they didnt do anything wrong
they were emotionally and financially destroyed
a lot of bitter folks came out of that investigation
a lot of innocent folks

well
there were a lot of innocent folks
even the clintons never were charged or convicted of anything
just stupidity and bills oversexed sex drive
couldnt keep it in his pants

i still cant believe this country impeached a president
over an affair

this event the impeachment left a bitterness in politics
that still exists today
it probably will like the civil war never go away

so kenneth starr
got his karma this week
as he was let go as the no he was fired as the president
of baylor university

someone had to go because of the cover up of the sexual cases
in the athletic department
at least this time they didnt murder someone

still not sure why the coach didnt get axed
i know he wins games

but
kenneth starr as someone who hated your investigation of the clintons
you found nothing
and
destroyed lots of peoples lives
im glad karma
raised its head
and
bit you in the backside

karma you dont give up do you

then karma struck fast this week
enter the golden state warrior player draymon green
the offensive third wheel of their powerful offensive team
the team expected to win it all this year
the nba championship

now mr green is an aggressive player
his team is close to being eliminated from the playoffs for his
well lets just go ahead and say it
dirty play
hes got too many technicals this year
like red cards in soccer
you get one you sit out the next game
in basketball once you reach that limit you miss the next game
not a good thing for one of your good players to have happen
in the championship games

now mr green went up for a shot
as he finished his shot
out went his foot
to me it looked like he just flat kicked the other player in the groin
on purpose
i guess the refs didnt see it that way
the guy he kicked his a big ole 7 ft center who use to be
a rugby player
which means he is tuff as nails
well a kick in the wrong place brought him to his knees

now half of you reading this will know how painful that can be
how incapacitating that could be

so everyone thought well that was just an accident
then
the next game
he did it again
it again seemed obvious it was intentional
to me and all the sports reporters

my thought
flagrant technical the thunder shoots technical shots and gets the ball out
mr green is gone for the rest of the game
didnt happen though

but the nba responded later by changing the call to a flagrant foul
and a $25,000 fine
like making me pay a $5 speeding ticket
ill just keep speeding at that price

but
to me no justice was done for the obvious intentional injury
so
karma took over
remember now she always wins

mr green played like crap the next game
the warriors players all played like crap
they lost
the thunder are up 3-1 in the series
looking like the thunder will probably win and go to the nba finals

karma you not only got mr green good
but did you have to hurt the whole team
i like the warriors

oh
i understand
dont blame her
blame him

karma
please stay away from me

dear ms b-five things

DEAR MS B-FIVE THINGS

now ms b i know you dont have a facebook account
but maybe one day you will
well maybe you shouldnt ever have one of those things

who knows what will be there when you get old enough
to have one

my brain couldnt even imagine what that would be
thinking back to when i was your age
no
theres no way i could have imagined all this electronic stuff
that kids have access to
sometimes for the good
sometimes though for the bad

now ms b
i read kim komando every day
she is the computer goddess

today she wrote about 5 things
to not give facebook about yourself
now you remember these ok

one
your phone number
they keep asking but i just ignore them
dont put your phone number on your posting anywhere
theres too many crazies out there
heck we all get so many trash calls anyway
dont help them find you
they dont have mine

two
your home address
now that one should be a no brainer right
but its done all the time
they dont have mine

three
anything work related
see that all the time
lots of folks done got fired cuz of this
im retired so no work related stuff for me
just volunteer stuff

four
your relationship status
oops i write your gma as my wife she all the time

five
your birthday
oops again

extra
dont give them your finacial info so you can buy
stuff on facebook
didnt do this one

you can imagine what happens if a scammer gets a hold of all
this information
what havoc they would do on you and your families lives

heres is the link to her posting today to read more
now
just think about this
next time you start doing all this

now
i talked to a guy who works for a large company that is involved
with internet security
he does not have facebook
doesnt put pictures anywhere online of his family
he said
you would be shocked at how much the government
and private industry and crooks can find out about you
how much they have access to
well they already know most of it

so
ms b
i dont want you to have a cell phone
or ever get on the internet
ok
