@glynmoody These are very exciting findings from #brainhealth & #Alzheimers research!

"This research suggests that metabolic intervention – whether through dietary approaches like ketogenic diets or supplements—might be most effective when started in one’s 40s, well before #cognitive symptoms appear.. From a #publichealth standpoint, these findings could inform new screening guidelines and preventive approaches"
Emperor #TrumpVirus and his terrific #cognitive clothes...
"Terrific! Perfect, really"...
As #MAGAMike and cohorts giddily genuflect to their false god and don't smell, hear, or see anything abnormal.

We should reopen and #evangelize #libraries, and I think everyone should spend a few hours per week just finding any book on any topic and reading it cover to cover. There's still something to be said about holding a #book, especially an old one, in your hands. Flipping the pages. Absorbing its scent. Not saying you can't get the same experience digitally, but many people don't use their digital devices for true #learning and #cognitive growth. Apps and games aren't the same.
It's how I grew up and fed my deepest #addiction - #learning - spending hours in the library and just reading. The Internet barely existed. That's true knowledge. Ever learning. Ever #craving more. And I believe knowledge is true power.
After Trump killed a report on nature, researchers push ahead with release
> Major report was designed to answer the public's biggest questions on nature.
Of course, we can't have anything good, as that all belongs to him-him-him, the Emperor without #cognitive clothes, Sir #TrumpVirus - for which a cure has yet to be found, and surely will not be funded. (He has only one direction, vacuuming IN tax dollars.)
By now we know that the gut and brain are intricately interconnected, like extensions of each other. See the previous post in this thread for more info about the gut.
But did you also know that there's a direct connection between skeletal muscle and cognitive health?
