I highlight and write in every book I own
Because I like to go back and read my messages on each page.
I read so many books that they tend to mesh together.
A great quote in this book
“If there’s one fact that’s increasingly becoming apparent in scientific circles, it’s that we are not doomed by the genetic cards we were dealt with at birth. If a certain disease runs in your family you can still stack the deck in your favor and avoid that fate. Our everyday experiences include what we eat, how much we exercise, with whom we socialize, what challenges we face, how well we sleep, and what we do to reduce stress and learn, a factor much more into brain health and overall wellness that we can imagine.” Page 13
This is very encouraging.
There is a self-assessment on page 21
That is interesting. It reveals your risks of brain decline.

The newest book about covid by Dr Sunjay Gupta
I am almost done reading this book. “Defeating Dementia “ is my next book.
Both my dad and father-in-law have been diagnosed with Dementia. Having family around to support you is a must.
Today, we hired a young man ( my best friend's son ) to help my dad in the shed and to hang out with him. I didn't know who to ask to stay with my dad or to help him because my dad can be easily irritated by strangers. Everyone I know is working or on unemployment. I called facilities to hire a person to be a one-to-one caregiver/ aide for my dad and no one was available.
The young man arrived and was very pleasant. I introduced them and walked them to the shed. I gave them 2 shelves to assemble. It was completed quickly. My dad came back into the house and forgot what he was doing. Then the 2 of them sat on the beds and talked. It was comforting to see a young man so patient with my dad. He comes back tomorrow. My instructions were to talk to him, take him on a walk, hang out, make crafts in the shed, etc.. I look forward to another happy day.
Update
I am enrolled in a Caregiver Stress buster course. It is 9 weeks long for 90 minutes per week. Breathe! Breathe! Breathe! I am realizing the need to care for myself through meditation and breathing techniques.
