| > your grandparents probably read for entertainment instead of tiktok We still do? Tiktok/shorts are that on the toilet/in bed activity. I still spend I'd guess on average at least 8 hours a day reading. Not necessarily books but diverse articles, game guides, work stuff.. > your grandparents were more physically active - brain and body are connected More physically active but not more active in skillful tasks. I've seen correlation between less/later dementia and things like playing musical instruments but I've not heard of construction workers being dementia resistant. > your grandparents didn't eat ultra processed food because it hadn't been invented yet...once again, brain and body are connected Mine ate whatever was available. Many unleavened flour+water flatbreads baked on the woodfire oven used for heating, rice and lots of lye in winter. Lots of fruits and veggies when available. Now we mostly eat much better. You have every single fruit/vegetable/meat available 365 days a week, very clean food.. Only gotta stop yourself from overindulging. We also have better medicine, better cleaning products, better understanding of what's toxic and bans based on that.. |
