Demystifying Dementia

Hehe, come ooo, I read something recently that made my eyes go ���
and my head go ��� I feel I needed to share with y'all.

I wrote about my confusion with Diastema and [b]Dementia [/b]recently.
By now if you've never come across the word before, now you know what it is.

Do you know that old age is not what causes dementia? You know it occurs mostly in old people.
Dementia is actually caused by a redundant brain. A brain that no longer engages in active exercises.
A brain no longer tasked.
You think you're old so you're forgetting stuff... Na lie.
You forget stuff because you stopped engaging your brain.
Infact, I even learnt this is why mathematians live long...
Hmmm.

Infact writing this now brought Prof Wole Soyinka to mind.
Have you ever wondered if that man is aging at all?
He seems to be aging backwards.
Forget the white hair...
Everyone now has white hair. Even my 16yr old son.
Now I see the reason...
Wow...
He's a great writer, you can't be a writer and not read books and lots of it.
And apparently he's still actively engaged in reading and writing.

Listen up! Nobody cares about how old you are but you.
People only care about what you can do, and you can do anything you want, at any age.
If you catch yourself thinking that you are too old to do something you want to do, you're listening to the pessimistic voice inside of you.

It's lack of use that causes the brain to become less sharp not aging according to Dr Monte Buchsbaum.
Take up anything intellectually challenging to keep the brain sharp, no matter what age you are.
The memory loss and mental passivity we believe is caused by old age is simply lack of Use.
Mental activity keeps you alive.

Lose your mental challenges and life itself fades away.
Keep it and add more healthy years to your years.

Cheers
