Wisdom Nuggets for today, Jan 6, 2021: How to prevent memory loss.

How to prevent memory loss - a common occurrence as one grows older, especially after you turn 50. These are scientific facts culled from my own personal experience and from the famous CNN Chief Medical correspondents and Neurosurgeon - Dr. Sanjay Gupta's New Book, "Keep Sharp: How To Build a Better Brain at Any Age".

1. Endeavor to get enough RESTORATIVE sleep every night.

2. Reduce your food portions, especially carbs.

3. Exercise regularly - not lifting weights but real cardio-exercises

4. Slash sugar intake significantly, especially refined sugars

5. Drink a lot of clean water daily - not soft drinks/soda or juice

6. Spend your money on stuff that will help you maintain a healthy brain - a good pillow and a comfortable office shoe.

7. Maintain a healthy relationship - cut ties with friends who do not share your values and aspirations. They are toxic to the health of your mind, which could affect your sleep.

8. Instead of binge-watching your favorite soap operas sitting down all the time, spend that time having a healthy conversation with the people that you care about - family and friends.

Memory loss can be prevented or reversed. Those in their late 40s and over will attest to the fact that they are not as sharp as they use to be. If nothing is done, it is the beginning of dementia. It can get better and not worse if you practice some of the above regularly.

This is Cacophony at Best...

MAGA destroyed DEI but they want to implement DEI at Harvard... They claim the school is not diverse enough. They have too many liberals, so they need to hire more conservative, whether they meet the hiring requirement or survive the rigor of delivering excellence at Harvard or not. This is what they claim DEI is all about - hiring people based on race, they claim, but they have no issue telling Harvard to hire based on political ideology.... You read the same thing about BLM and Antisemitism. They say BLM reflects poorly on the history of America... Critical race theory is false history... slaves loved being in captivity, they loved their masters and served willingly... there is no more discrimination based on the color of your skin in America - but all the metrics point in the opposite direction... Jewish Lives Matter; Black Lives Matter, and Palestinian Lives Matter... All Lives Matter. A terrorist life should not be equal to 20 innocent Palestinian life... It is okay to forget abou...

Until Ordinary Nigerians Seize the Power that Belongs to them, There Will Not Be Progress in That Country

  Until Ordinary Nigerians Seize the Power that Belongs to them, There Will Not Be Progress in That Country When I see the shameful drama unfolding in the Senate in Nigeria, I see impunity. When those who are supposedly elected into political offices are abusing the power they hold in trust for the rest of us in daylight, then you know they have no fear of the electorate... The Senate President in Nigeria, Akpabio, forced a motion that obviously failed, down the throat of his colleagues... The motion was to humiliate Senator Natasha and force her to apologize for daring to accuse Akpabio of alleged sexual harassment before she is re-admitted to the senate after serving the unlawful six-month suspension imposed on her. What saddens me the most are the fellow female senators who have either kept quiet or have reprimanded Senator Natasha for speaking out, including the wife of the president, Remi Tinubu, who faced many sexist comments and threats when she was a senator. Remi Tinubu wa...
