Could a bodybuilding supplement stem
The tide of cognitive decline from within?
In mice, amyloid plaque build-up was less
Thanks to this supplement's special success
This could help humans living in fear
Of cognitive decline year after year

"Research indicates that COVID-19 may contribute to cognitive decline by damaging crucial brain regions, including the hippocampus and anterior cingulate cortex. Additionally, studies have identified active neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and microglial activation in COVID-19 patients, implying that these factors may be potential mechanisms leading to cognitive impairment."

@splitguns
I have also struggled to understand the mechanics behind #tankies . Many of them are old, but were progressives and radicals in their youth.

Maybe it is a combo of #cognitiveDecline and a few other effects:

- following the news less keen.
- navigating according to political dogmas rather than observed data.
- getting angry when their world "changes", which pressures them to change themselves.
- overcompensating for the tendency that younger generations better 'get' the #zeitgeist.

Oh hearing aids, the answer we sought
You may reduce dementia risk, we thought
A first-of-its-kind trial
Found cognitive decline did slow
Thanks to you, a better future's now fraught

I'm 61.

Not long ago, I'd have a "not my A game" day once every 2 or 3 weeks.

Lately, I'm having that sort of day about weekly.

There's several things I need to look into. There's new factors outside just my age.

But I'm game to read up on #EatMoreFish #BrainFood suggestions that aren't batshit #EssentialOilsFixEverything and #HealingCrystals BS.

Thigh muscle fat, a sign

A heart attack can have a swift effect
Leading the mind to a mental defect
A decline of thought was not expected
But research proved the facts were reckoned
These results had been predicted
Our minds in trouble, our hearts are affected

Living near a lead mine in childhood is linked to greater cognitive decline in old age – those exposed as children had steeper declines in memory/attention and worse language/executive function.

From an early age I loathed processed foods. This acknowledges that it was good to do so and will motivate me to even more use mostly fresh and unprocessed food.

I also try to curb my salt and sugar intake and use whole grains and brown rice, or things made of that.

Multivitamins May Improve Memory, Study Shows

'A group of scientists from Harvard Medical School and Columbia University report that a daily multivitamin can improve memory and even slow some of the cognitive decline that comes with aging'

Sing praise of neuritin's power,
A protein that staves off Alzheimer's hour.
Its protective might
Resists our brains' plight
Safeguarding us from cognitive decline.
