Age will eventually catch up, but meditation, aerobic exercise, good sleeping pattern, certain video games, good tangible social connections, exploring novel things are shown to moderate the decline. While stress/tension, sedentary lifestyle and most importantly loneliness accelerate the decline.

What video games do you think are helpful? Any source for that?

Training with the n-back task (a memory game) has been shown in some studies to improve performance in other cognitive tasks.

Agreed. Finding the right context with the right amount of benefitial "stressors" can surely alter the evolution. Just like chinese crowd doing taichi can do more acrobatics at 80 than I can do at 40.

You missed the most important one... Diet!

I take Choline to help me remember.

[ramraj07]

I mean good for you, just remember that throughout history supplements have more often seemed to have caused more problems than otherwise. Including the fact that most large scale studies show people taking vitamins dying faster than otherwise.

Also how are you absolutely sure cholines making you remember better?

[Terry_Roll]

Totally agree with your point on taking supplements can shorten lifespans, in tablet form other ingredients are not that healthy, some chemicals that can be classed as a vitamin or mineral shouldnt be included and a-once-a-day delivery regime isnt always good for you either although its convenient.

Choline is used in the cell wall membrane, its also used in the connections between neurons and it also helps lower the pressure of the fluid in the alveoli to make the gas exchange better. So brain fog, seen with Covid, pregnancy (baby brain), and old age all sign of needing choline which can be reversed if taking amounts throughout the day. Thats the science I've read, its already there but even negative scientific studies highlight the minimum or maximum range of an amount a chemical for a pathway.

Its massively complex and I dont seen many entities except perhaps some massive drug companies who have developed drugs or practices giving away their knowledge by virtue of product or action.

What is choline?

[ycombinete]

I can’t remember

Loneliness? Source for that?

[QuikAccount]

Here is an article that references several studies but a search including 'loneliness and health' will bring up dozens of studies.
