There’s plenty you can do to slow the effects of aging. Here’s how to keep your thinking and memory sharp
As I am now closer to 40 than 30, and as I appreciate the fact that Alzheimer’s seems to run in at least one side of my family, topics like this continue to be of growing interest.
In fact, I even intended to buy one of those jumbo crossword puzzle books to sharpen all those synapses, but - well - I forgot.

It’s one thing you will
not find me talking about here*.
If you can’t figure out why, might I suggest you go take a science class?
And, no, watching “What the #$*! Do We Know!?” doesn’t count.
Positive thinking? Good stuff.
Believing in yourself? Someone other than your mom should, so yeah.
Looking for opportunities? Awesome.
Pointing yourself in the direction of your goals? The best way for a ship to reach its destination.
Thinking you can alter the fabric of reality with your thoughts and that the universe will just jump to your aid if you only want it to badly enough? That’s just dumb.
Or, wait, maybe my uncle really was wishing to get Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s all at once. Seems a silly wish to me, but hey, who am I to question the New Agers?
* Except using the mocking tone I reserve for, uh, mocking things.
