It's to engage in novel experiences. The brain's goal is to minimize energy expenditure; so it makes shortcuts or positive feedback loops to achieve that state. Full dementia is the full realization of that state; every daily task has a brain loop assigned, no thinking required. When no more novel experiences are happening, no more costly learning needs to happen, so it forgets how to learn.
Retiring with no plans in developping other areas of interest seem to suggest you were already challenged beyond comfort jn your job. Hence possibly you were becoming limited physically or mentally. Very ominous. Transitioning to other activities that you could never have time for is more like starting new chapters and IMO can be very stimulating since you have to develop entire sets of new skills, including acquire physical abilities you never "worked on" before. You have to be very adaptable for that. Clearly that should show in all your earlier life. The secret of happy aging may be to be able to reinvent yourself.
My genetically very dissimilar 94 yo grandparents went to about the 6th grade only. Both did heavy farm work until 70s. Lighter amounts later. No dementia. Grandfather was starting to slip in his 90s but could drive to the race track 40 minutes away up until the end. His cognitive training was picking which horse to bet on. Breakfast every morning with his wife and son (family farm).
Any intelligent and thinking researcher should be able to give general guidelines on a topic and the proceed from general to specific “individual” points. When they start with “it’s individual” and/or “it depends,” it means they don’t know their subject well enough and/or are so narrowly specialized that they are unable to draw any meaningful conclusions. E.g., some work with only very specific cases and are unable to draw inferences for an average person.
It is a bit amazing to me that the virtuosos of "free solo" rock climbers who perish seem to fall in their 30s, even early 40s. Right away everybody looks for a technical explanation, including the rock that day. But considering how sharp and exceptionally perfect your skills have to be, what age range do you estimate would likely see slight drops in brain function or physical perfection?? Are there tests one could think of to monitor all those skills. Just the price of being human afrer all😂.
It's basically common sense . Busy people live longer and better lives outside of anything else like structured exercise or diet . The evidence surrounds us . My mom was a clear example of this as she lived to 90 . Older than anyone in our family history. She was always running around and being involved with her family , friends and volunteering even with her body being raised by arthritis
Here are the takeaways that you missed: 1: get as good at tasks important to you as possible while young, 2: constantly learn new things and keep your brain active and learning - especially later in life
After losing my job and turning 41 lately, I'm at a turning point in my life. What options do I have for making big investments now that I have $425k saved for an early retirement at age 50, $10k in an HSA, and a property that might provide an extra $200K?
I’m confused about whether to combine all my investment accounts into one. If I decide to do this, how should I go about it, and will there be any consequences I should be aware of? I also intend to sell my property, which could add an extra 200K overtime. Should I consolidate everything into one investment account, or diversify across several sectors?
These are important questions for a financial planner. I connected with mine at a NYSE summit, and with her help, my wife and I reallocated our 1.7M portfolio between a traditional IRA and a brokerage account. She’s been executing trades with our consent and has managed to recoup twice our crisis losses. We’re holding and cautiously navigating the market
Key message: keep stimulating your brain by learning, developing and using cognitively demanding skills.
My mom’s 94 and does the sudoku in the paper every morning. She doesn’t always get it right, but she tries!

Social interactions are very underrated
Hard core cardio and weights 💪
Gotta keep training the "brain muscle" as well, is what they essentially are saying! 😉
Super interesting!!! More of this, please 🙏
Structure your day so you are always cognitively engaged.

Yeah, a lot of words. Maybe I’m too old to understand 😊
What’d he say? Simple short answers would be helpful.
If u don’t use it u lose it
@@bsackmusic524 now see, was that so hard!? Thank you! Maybe you should be his speech writer! Lol

Ok 3:26 you need to learn new skills
Edit 3:17 for context

"Word Salad"...maybe the doc has lunch with Kamela Harris beforehand ...hmmmm
This gave no useful info
Tell that to the president.
Current or former?
Current @@sunnysal3889
Dementia DonOld? 😅
@@meelvis939 I don't see Biden holding rallys all over the country. Trump has more energy in his little finger than Joe has in his whole body.
4.5 min in gave up still no meaningful, concrete content conveyed
See 3:17, it's brief but it's there. You need to develop new skills

It’s understandable to want a financial advisor at this stage... but perhaps putting off retirement for a little while could be the smarter move

That is impressive! my portfolio has remained stagnate. Who is guiding you please?
