How to keep your brain sharp (and a fun quiz!)
Back when my dear mother was still in a nursing home (prior to her passing in 2015 at age 94), every time I would visit her, I would pop my head into the doorway of her room and say, “Hi Mom! How are you?” She would always respond, “Well, Sher, I hurt from head to toe (with arthritis), but I still know who you are!” Ah yes, age-related cognitive decline is a very real...
Surprising health benefits of chocolate (plus a recipe)

How to slash your risk of dementia
People sometimes joke around about forgetfulness or “CRS disease” as we age, but in reality, mental decline (dementia) is no laughing matter. Currently one in three senior citizens dies with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia, and over six million Americans are living with the condition. Even more disturbingly, that number is projected to rise to 13 million over the next few decades. And it’s not just old age! While dementia is typically found...

Although this may be a surprise to some people, it really shouldn’t be, and it makes sense. Because people of ALL ages...
Rates of this condition have skyrocketed since COVID
May is National Mental Health Awareness Month, and that topic brings back vivid memories about my father from my childhood. You see, in addition to dying of a massive heart attack at age 58 (when I was 15), my Dad was also an alcoholic. I didn’t understand as a kid what may have been the driving force behind his drinking—all I knew was that I couldn’t have friends over because I was too embarrassed,...
A new cause of Alzheimer’s discovered
One of the most heartbreaking and frightening conditions that people may face is Alzheimer’s disease. Although most people associate Alzheimer’s with old age, that’s not entirely accurate. It can begin in the brain 30 years before symptoms appear, and the characteristic amyloid plaques found in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients have been detected in young adult brains. As we age, our brain weight drops—up to 10 percent by age 80. In addition, blood flow...
