Today is your day Boomer! As Boomers, we often suffer hearing loss and mild dementia in our 50s, 60s, and 70s. It is a reality for most of us says Dr. Sandra Black, a research scientist from Toronto. But....she says there are three main things we can do to slow down this medical problem: (1) Get moving. 150 minutes per week of moderate exercise is enough, plus two sessions of mild weightlifting. (2) Eat better. Dr. Black suggests "eating a Mediterranean diet rich in green, leafy vegetables like broccoli, kale and cabbage, as well as berries, whole grains, walnuts and fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel and tuna rich in omega-3 fatty acids." (3) Word and Math games. Counting games like Sudoku and Crib are great for sharpening the mind and word games like Wordle do the same. Minimum half hour per day is a good plan. So, Boomers.....we can stay razor sharp in our older years, but we have to work at it. Cheers and good health!
