Tips to exercise your brain to lower risk of dementia
Doctors often advise exercising your brain to stay sharp but stretching your brain might be the better description. Research increasingly shows a variety of habits and hobbies offer a helpful cognitive workout. One recent study linked lifelong learning — things like reading, learning another language, playing chess — to slower cognitive decline, even postponing Alzheimer's for a few years. It's not proof. But experts say lifestyle changes that also include physical exercise, controlling blood pressure, good sleep and even a shingles vaccination offer a chance at slowing deterioration as we get older.

Collective Truth@thalon In reply also, you sound like a bit of a loser if you don't reply. I mean "you're losing out" or "scared" since a loser might include this of #silly question and circular "afraid of my own shadow" stuff / "afraid of everyone" position... the stupid "who are you" question online, -instead of something "a bit more" #intellectual / social which I thought you might be.

Katharine O'Moore-Klopf, ELSOn The Scholarly Kitchen blog, Mahmood Anwar, PhD, says, about #AI: “When an author relies on an #LLM to generate the intellectual content, rather than just to polish the language, they are #outsourcing #intellectual #effort without #attribution. This creates critical gaps in accountability.” https://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2026/01/22/guest-post-the-ghost-in-the-machine-why-generative-ai-is-a-crisis-of-authorship-not-just-a-tool/
