My grandfather was a mountain of muscle. Alz didn't care. Shriveled him like an autumn leaf.
@Oliver Starley I'm afraid some people get fucked by their genomes, its possible to do everything right and still get that horrid disease.
I'd rather die than have people I love see me slowly dissolve before their eyes like that, in a never-ending funeral.
@Deleted User There are commercially available substances that have a chance of helping you.
Methylene Blue, though its potential has been squandered by a severely botched clinical trial.
They went with the less effective 100 mg thrice daily dose instead of the most effective one, 60 mg thrice daily.
(They believed "well if we use a different pro-drug that will solve the problem and we can use the higher dose, more drug better".)
Just an FYI, methylene blue starts actually inducing TAU aggregation rather than inhibiting it at certain doses, so there abso-fucking-lutely is hormesis present that no pro-drug will fix.
Now, even in that case it still protects neurons from some components of Tau toxicity, but some aspects of its potentially beneficial effects are flipped.
@Deleted User There have been human clinical trials with a substance called colostrinin that were highly promising.
@Deleted User It cannot be overstated, when it comes to risk mitigation an early start is important.

Although by no means a guaranteed preventer if implemented, his advocacy of exercise as a method of AD prevention is laudable.
It is amazing what exercise can do for the brain, especially in older people.
@Deleted User It may not be inevitable, even for you.
Short bursts of high intensity exercise get you the most bang for your buck.
That's why weight lifting is a good idea.
What's important is that whatever exercise it may be, it elevates your heart rate.
Not particularly compared to weight lifting when you look at its effect on the volume of the hippocampus.
@Deleted User It doesn't need to be big, just get your heart pumping.
You can get away with VERY little.
Lifting a bag of rice could do it for some people.
@Deleted User swimming is my favorite exercise. Why? Heart rate is elevated and your muscles grow as a bonus. It’s Especially good for abs. You’re also less likely to injure yourself compared to weight lifting
I hate swimming, but I still doit for the reason the Mongol hybrid stated
Swimming is really good if you can’t do any other type of exercise
I always get ads for either that shitty game or for a similar one.
!you will be epic mega hilter or die!
What the fuck is that image from?
Some Motherboard article?
(Obviously the original didn't have pepes.)
Are those used condoms?
They are one fingered gloves that have been used for holding milk, and incompletely emptied.
🍑💨👃 *sniff*
That is all kinds of fucked up.
