TITLE: AI can tell if your brain is aging faster than you are

A person’s sleeping brain may reveal warning signs of dementia long before memory problems begin. Researchers used machine learning to analyze EEG recordings from about 7,000 adults and found that an older-than-expected “brain age” was tied to a sharply higher dementia risk. Every additional 10 years of brain aging raised that risk by nearly 40%.

This year I'm trying something new. I'm planting our potatoes in grow bags instead of in the ground. This should save me from the hilling I would need to do and give me more space in my garden. As I get older I continue to try things that don't make my body scream.

:awesome: ✨️ 💫 🧠 The area of the anterior mid-cingular cortex is bigger in super-agers 👵🧓
Therefore, I’d say it’s fair to say this aged well 😏✨

:awesome: ✨️ 💫 I hope that no anterior mid-cingulate cortices were shrunk while reading this… XD

If you want to be fit at 70, you need to get fit earlier in life. Ageing brings decline regardless of how fit you are. Start from a higher base, fall from higher up. Fitness compounds, just like money. Go lift some weights, go for a swim, walk around the block!

Good morning tooters. I slept in until 7.15am which is quite a bit of extra sleep for me. It was very cold this morning too. Dipped below zero, the grass was crunchy & so was the water in the birdbath 😁 - lovely. It’s around 6-7c now & is another sunny day & getting to nice warm 18c.
I actually woke quite groggy & my vision blurry from too much sleep. It happens sometimes as I have dry eyes. I just have to wait until it clears & use eye drops to aid it. It’s still a little blurry now, but a lot better than it was. Another joy of aging but at least it doesn’t hurt, just annoying.
Once I’m showered I’m going to do an exercise class, I just haven’t decided on my choice yet, but I’m leaning towards core work. If nothing else, this week has reinforced the importance of staying as fit & healthy as I can for as long as I can. Plus it’s great for my mental health & a fabulous outlet for me & keeps me capable of doing things for myself for longer.
I’m going to really enjoy my at home day, I hope everyone else enjoys their #Sunday whatever you’re doing. Have a great day people. #Weather #Exercise #Health #AgingWell #LivingWell
