Resistance training while we can do so can push off certain Alzheimer’s variants from being realized.

Agreed.

Exercise and eat a mostly plant-based diet. Eat healthy and use your muscles.

The more I read the more it appears that a high fat diet combined with a sedentary lifestyle are the highest risk factors for, well, everything.

Do you realize what they’re saying?? Get off the couch and away from the keyboard and do . . (shudder) . . cardio and sweat. I won’t do it. I won’t do it. If Alzheimers wants me that much, it can have me. I’ll crap my pants and grin like an idiot.

I’ve tried desperately to get my 80-year-old sister to work out. I have managed to get us both into an elder-care workout class twice a week. But my sister barely moves.

Also, she has been taking a variety of medications for years which cause or exacerbate mental decline. I can’t get her to stop taking them and her doctor, who is also my doctor, won’t even speak to me about her. She lies to him.

It’s one of those, you-can-take-a-horse-water things. Very frustrating as I watch her decline.

A good diet with daily exercise to have a good life.

The release of myokines which comes from intense muscular contractions is a great health benefit. Resistance training is as close to the Fountain of Youth as we have at this time. 20 minutes a week will get it done, provided it’s done right.

Vitamin D as well

Do you think isometric training would have a similar effect?
