Brain Longevity (Part 3 of 5): Exercise And Sleep For Dementia Prevention

The brain is not a muscle that can be ‘pumped up’ through exercise, but physical and mental activities absolutely impact brain health: a sedentary lifestyle more than doubles the risk of developing Alzheimer’s Disease. Learn what happens in the brain during physical activity, the three components of impactful mental exercise, and why sleep is not nearly as passive as it seems. Physical and mental exercise forms one of The Alzheimer’s Research & Prevention Foundation’s “4 Pillars of Prevention”.

Thank you for a reminder of these essential things we need to do to help preserve our brain & overall health. They are a must to implement! 🙏🏽💖

Thank you! I appreciate your presentation of ways to slow or prevent dementia, but wonder whether progress of dementia is reversible or not. I’m 70, had a 45-year career in the sciences and writing, and always have maintained daily exercise routines, slept reasonably well and avoided over-use of alcohol, but I still find I’m losing continuity in what I’m doing at times, and have increasingly unreliable memory. I went for an evaluation with a neurologist who assured me I am functioning above average “for my age”! I’m terrified of declining and dying with dementia as my mother did, and wonder if there is any way to reverse the process.
Thanks for sharing your experience and expertise.

Kelly, I’m really enjoying your recordings, thank you so much! The serie is informative (I appreciate the biological explanations intertwining with awareness/presence) and light. 🙏🏻 (hopefully) soon I’ll start a job at a psychogeriapatric center and I’m happy to take this knowledge with me!

I do have a small remark in case you consider to record more (which I encourage you to do); when I listen to your recordings, somehow some sounds (high notes and ‘S’ sounds) are very sharp. Ideally I’d like to turn up the volume, but it becomes uncomfortable to listen to when I do that. Since it’s only with these recordings and a few other ones on Insight Times that I notice this, I figured it’s possibly on the microphone’s end. Perhaps I’m the only one experiencing this, but I wanted to let you know nevertheless in case its useful for you :) once again thank you and have a wonderful day!

This is so helpful, thank you 🙏🏽

I will certainly look our for the previous and future parts of this series also 🙏🏽
