This Might Be the Strongest Defense Against Dementia

Probably the biggest concern I hear about aging?
Losing your mind. Honestly—I feel the same.

But here’s what gives me real hope that I’ll keep my brain sharp for years to come: movement.

Not marathons. Not bootcamps. Just moving my body—consistently.

Movement isn’t just medicine—it’s memory insurance.

🧠 A massive study of nearly 90,000 adults found that just 35 minutes a week of moderate to vigorous activity slashed dementia risk by 41%.
Even frail older adults saw the same brain-protective benefits. And those who moved more—think 140+ minutes per week—cut their risk by 69%.

That’s more powerful than any drug we’ve got.

Try This:
Not hitting 150 minutes a week? No shame here.
Start with:
• 5-minute strength sessions
• Brisk walks to your favorite playlist
• Dance breaks while making dinner

Your brain doesn’t care how you move. It just wants you to move.

Join The Wonderfulness Community Why Feeling Rested Matters More Than Being Rested Every morning I check my sleep tracker and brace myself for the inevitable judgment. “Only 49 minutes of deep sleep”? Cool, thanks, tiny robot—I felt wonderful until you said that. Turns out, I may have been onto something. Your belief about how you slept might boost your mood more than the actual sleep itself. A study in the journal Emotion found...

One minute it’s “olive oil only,” the next it’s “bring back beef tallow.” Somewhere in there, seed oils got villainized—again. I’ll admit it—I’ve raised eyebrows at them too. But here’s what I’ve come to believe: The real issue isn’t seed oils—it’s the industrial food system and overconsumption of...
