how do you explain those 'fit in their 90s' old men? is it just looking after your physical health -> remaining mentally sound?

something surreal about seeing elderly people who are coherent. both my grandparents were just 'old', my parents started forgetting names and things in their 50s, i'm just generally more stupid even in my 30s.

>>215652398
aside from luck, those people were often physically active in their seventies and eighties, by the time you're 40 you need a plan to get your rear in gear on a daily basis if you don't want your body and/or mind to waste away by the time you're 70.

I'm not an expert by any means but that's basically it. I think food, sleep and exercise are the big three beside genetics but that's out of our control so it's irrelevant. I'm kinda glad I got really bad with alcohol and weed in my early twenties so hopefully I've got that out of my system for good.

My mom is being more and more forgetful. Losing her car keys, wallet and glasses 10 times a day. She even asked me last week what we were going to eat 15 times. This shit fucking scares me, bros... i made a doctors appointment next week and they're gonna do a few tests.

>>215652317
1. Heavy metals blocking neurotransmitters
2. Lack of healthy fats in the brain. People are still retarded about diet (eg staying away from eggs because they have "cholesterol" or eating only the whites to avoid the fat and nutrition of the yolk) and have no idea how crucial eating fats and nutrients in proper ratios to each other are (people tend to only take omega 6, ignoring 3s which are required in sufficient ratios)
3. Meds. I cannot impress this enough; statin drugs especially starve your brain of fats, amplifying point 2 above. So even if the person eats their avocados and bacon regularly, the body no longer breaks it down and utilizes it properly, and once starved starts sapping it from the brain. This is a big part of the reason why scans of dementia/alzheimers patients' brains look all cracked and dried up. The tissues it needs to function are simply gone.

Keto/low carb can help reverse the effects, the problem is most people don't want to change their lifestyle.

I made my dad keto cycle for a year and he regained full faculties and was healthier than ever, then he went to the dr who scared him back on the meds, which he prefers bc now he can eat candy and cake 4 times a week and cookies for breakfast instead of being responsible. But when he was on keto he reported way higher energy levels and that his mind felt sharper than it had since his 30s.

My father has rapid onset dementia. He gets up at 1:30am, puts his shoes and hat and gloves on and sit in a chair until the sun rises. Yesterday he announced he was going to bed, it was 3pm. He does not remember his siblings, friends, parents, anything about his life, or mine, and lives on ice cream and English muffins.
Talk to your parents while you still can, young anons.

My mother developed dementia recently. While she was in hospital, she asked me about a friend of hers, they'd known each other for 30 or 40 years.

tip: just make up something, say they're far away, idk

my aunt asks about her mother and her sister just say she's far away in a place where she can't comeback
but i guess each person has a different kind of dementia

Yeah. Same with my aunt when my dad, her brother, died. It was tough going to see her after and worrying she's ask where he was. I think one time she did ask we said he was yired from going to treatments.

Good days and bad days. It's heartbreaking watching somebody slowly lose their memories and personality. I hope I go quickly. I was thankful my mom had her mind until the end. At least she died as the woman she was, and among people she remembered and loved. I'm very grateful for that.

>>215654178
My grandad got to 92. Didn't smoke and only drank occasionally. He walked more than my dad and I did. Well, after he had a triple bypass in his early 70s. It was a wakeup call and he got out and walked. He probrably would have made it to 100 if bladder cancer hadn't popped up thar last year or two.

>>215652103
Play familiar music for her, particiarly old songs that hold sentimental value. Keep showing her photos of special moments to keep the memories fresh. You can't defeat dementia, but you can slow it down by keeping their minds active with the memories and things they cherish.

His family are satanic pieces of shit for just abandoning him. Your family is your highest priority in life, your father even moreso.

True. Problem solving helps.
What happens to elderlies is their physical capacity becomes so degraded, they give up on their bodies. And then it becomes a very weird line, in regards to how much autonomy you take away from them.
More you take, the more accelerated the decline seems to be.

Thats how i learned German Sheppards get it quite often due to a generic flaw from the inbreeding that created the breed its just not talked about like the back legs going because its rarer.

I saw my Great granded get it and i cannot tell you if its better or worse that the family dog gets it. A human doesn't suddenly go into attack mode because it thinks the family it protects are strangers coming in to attack a family it no longer remembers beyond the impulse to be a good dog and protect the house. Fucking brutal disease.

It literally eats your brain while you are still alive. The organ that contains your thoughts, your memories, your self, is literally melting away in real time. Its one of the worst things that can happen to a person. Eventually the parts of the computer needed to send impulses like "breath" no longer exist and they simply stop because the brain doesnt know how to tell the body to stay alive.
>>
>>215655605
it's a gradual process though. my dad gets really angry that he can't recall things.

This illness is not fun at all.
We were lucky she was actually old and couldn't walk.
We've seen people in the clinic that took care of 50, 60yo parents. Who could walk. Or were fat. Or were bigass fucking dudes who you can't keep in place.
I feel bad for their caretakers. It was miserable to take care of 50kg grandma who will die soon anyway. And some people would have to take care of their vegetable for decades.
And it aint fucking cheap.

Some have it genetically but its very rare. Others have genes that make it much more likely, but arent guaranteed.
Life style plays a big role but nothing is guaranteed. Lots of healthy athletes get Alzhiemers. In the end its just a lottery crapshoot, though like the lottery you can increase decrease your odds.
I got shit Apoe4/4 genes so 50% odds by 65, 90% odds by 85 so I follow this shit hard.

Something called the Bredesen protocol you can look up. Did absolute wonders for my Dad for a decade. He was diagnosed, stuck to it, and it was crazy how little he digressed. Than for some reason I cant fathom he stopped, plus got Covid 3 months latter, and he degraded rapidly after.
Guys theory is there is 31 causes of Alzhiemers. There is no silver bullet, but lots of things that bend the odds in your favour. So he recommends a shit ton of supplements and this >>215652536. No idea what hes talking about with the statins. Its the #1 prescribed drug with a shit ton of data. Everything else is right on though, high Omega 3 low sugar. Keto stoping both insulin spikes well being anti inflammatory. Again though, it just bends the odds in your favour. There is no guarantee.

Yeah it's an absolute cunt. My family and I have spent the last 3 years taking care of my Grandfather who is completely bedbound and unable to do literally anything more than swallowing mashed up food and watch TV (thank fuck the state decided to pay for a bed and a few 10 min carers visits a day to help clean him up) No way of telling whether he had any real awareness of anything around him. Honestly, if I thought I could talk everyone into accepting it, I'd give him a full bottle of morphine or open up a helium tank myself. No one would let a dog live like that, so why a man?

Statins regulate cholesterol uptake.
The drug crosses the blood-brain barrier and impacts cholesterol needed in the brain as well, not just the stuff you don't want in your McDonald's coated arteries. Without those fats, the brain kind of shrivels. It's not so irreversible for shorter lengths of time, but if the person is taking the drug non-stop for 20+ years it becomes a slippery slope to dementia and other cognitive problems.

I'm sure the impact of the drug and dementia rates are influenced by genetics, but essentially there are no easy shortcuts in life; if something's out of balance, you need to correct the cause, not the symptom of "too much bad cholesterol". Well-researched does not mean infallible, it just means their studies were designed around inherent flaws to increase marketability.

Same. My dad has ALS and is at the point where he can barely blink and needs a breathing tube. Watching him go from this tall mountain of a man to an auschwitz looking twig has ruined the image I tried to maintain of him. Unfortunately him and my mom became born again Christians to a pretty strict church so assisted suicide is out of the question. She keeps saying she has to keep him alive so "Jesus can perform his miracle" but the truth is she has been trying to sue my brother and I out of his life insurance policy he signed over to us when we turned 18. Before he even knew she existed.
Thank god my brother and I are able to have each other to get through this. We made a pack to make sure that if either one of us becomes diagnosed with this we are going on a hookers, liquor, and blackjack world tour before pulling a Sky King.

I'm an only child. My mother was a widow and my father died when I was a baby. Yet my grandmother though I was my father, still knew mom was her daughter... Then freaked out that little kid me was missing.
I don't wish dementia or having to deal with it on anyone. As bad as people who have yet to see it happen to families think it can be. It's worse...

You don't pay tax on the first 13m+ of any estate. You do end up paying a percentage in probate, depending on how the estate was set up. Trusts and joint accounts can avoid that and smaller estates don't even need probate.
That's if you even file. Like my mom died 10+ years ago and power bill and cable is still in her name being nobody but me is left and I don't care.
The 13m is also you gift tax exemption. As in win lotto, give brother 2m. He pays zero tax. Your life time exemption then drops to 11m

I've experienced fainting spells over the last few years, and I can tell you that the "post-event confusion" that happens when you finally come-to is a taste of what dementia can feel like... and it's horrifying.

I had one recently where I didn't actually pass out (because I could feel it coming and laid down), but I still had 1-2 minutes of total blankness and confusion. I could feel it dragging me under, and I was trying to force myself to monologue my way through it, but eventually I just stopped having thoughts. I was looking around the room trying to orient myself and I literally could not think of a single word or concept. It was like I was braindead but still looking around.

Bruce Willis will never recognize me!?

I've watched family members die of dementia, it's just cruel. We need laws to allow us to end a person's suffering when they get to the late stages of dementia. It's no fun for anyone.

I still remember when my grandma was already in a home, and she had dementia, and watching it progress and get worse and worse to the point she was just a husk and put in hospice and then was left to die over weeks, it was just a horrible experience. It's fucking cruel. I don't want that to ever be me, I'd rather kms before it gets to that state.

My grandma had it for years and was actually one of the happiest people I knew. late stage isn't so great as long but again some people have it worse than others

iirc isn't the problem with dementia (for the victim) that it isn't just this slow loss of memory with you becoming progressively less aware until you die (which is sad, but technically painless for you), but that you constantly get these brief moments of lucidity and sheer panic where you realise what's happening to you and how your grasp on reality is slipping before you go back under again.

forget all about it

He might, so long as your criteria for recognising is him thinking that you're his childhood friend, Tommy, you're both 8 and you're in the middle of building a treehouse together.

Don't lose hope, Anon!

When I found out my grandmother had vascular dementia I made the decision to not see her again. My dad put her in a home, and It's pretty selfish but I just didn't want to spoil my memory of her by remembering her being all fucked up (she forgot how to speak English and only spoke in French).

My grandma is 93 and the worst she does is constantly mix up me and my brothers' names when she's talking on the phone (but not when she can see us). But she's been doing that for 20 years so I think that's pretty good all things considered. I just hope that's a good omen for my mom and me.

The original thread for this was honestly one of the funniest /tv/ threads I've ever been in

I hope everyone ITT plays video games or does puzzles daily
Engaging with interactive hobbies is what keeps stuff like this at bay, combined with a decent diet and a bit of genetic luck
Don’t just sit in front of a screen, try to do things that require your mind to problem solve in real time
Even simple platforming games, sudoku, etc engage the brain in positive ways
Reading is unironically not good enough - you need something that demands mental and physical coordination
The brain is like a muscle

>>215663071
Does gooning help too?

I’m sure having an actual sex life is healthy
Masturbation is just habit
Playing a Mario game requires you to quickly parse out distances, jumps, etc in a holistic way that improves all of your mental faculties

i love sudoku so i'm fine there but what you said about reading better not be true because my mom is allergic to puzzles and loves to read instead

My dad has parkinsons and dementia they often come together. It is a horrible double whack where both body and mind are shredded. We often find him in the morning on the floor in a puddle of piss moaning in agony as he wanted to get up in his confusion and his body wouldn´t work so he lays there for hours. We would frequently get up and check but you can´t keep this up for years so we sort of hope all will be well int he morning now.

Reading is good in the sense that it keeps your mind active and is a good way to exercise the “communication/social” reflex we need to stay sane (look at why homeless people are so deranged - they don’t engage enough with communication)
But reading does not require the same kind of hand-eye coordination as other hobbies, and I don’t just mean stuff like working out
Sports and video games are healthy because they present you with new situations and problems that you can’t just reflexively act your way through

>Emma revealed that in the days before his diagnosis, his symptoms and behavior almost led her to want a divorce.

There was just a study out showing the shingles vaccine can reduce risk of developing dementia by 20%.

>>215663389

>>215663417
I would think having the antibodies should reduce your risk so I would say that lowered your chances.
>>
