A new study which was published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society followed 18,000 older adults and found that those that regularly used the Internet had about half the risk of developing dementia compared with those who didn’t regularly use the web.  Other studies have shown better cognitive performance, verbal reasoning and memory among Internet users.  Regular readers of my blog know that both my father and my grandmother had Alzheimer’s disease when they passed away.  If you need support, there are a great group of people at the Ryan Ranch Alzheimer’s Association.  They also have a 24-hour hotline if you just want someone to talk to at 800-272-3900.

More Attention Focused On The Mediterranean Diet

A table filled with lots of different foods.


For years physicians and researchers have touted the benefits of the Mediterranean diet.  People who follow it can live decades longer.  And the best thing about it is that it’s delicious.  In the 1950’s, researchers across the globe embarked on an ambitious plan to study thousands of middle-aged men who lived in Europe, Japan and the United States.  Those who lived in the Mediterranean (countries like Italy, Greece and Croatia) had lower rates of cardiovascular disease than those who lived elsewhere.  This led to the touting of the Mediterranean Diet, which is not a diet so much as focusing on fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts, seeds, lean proteins and healthy fats like olive oil.   “It’s one of a small number of diets that has research to back it up,†Dr. Sean Heffron, a preventive cardiologist at NYU Langone Health, told The New York Times.  “It isn’t a diet that was cooked up in the mind of some person to generate money.  It’s something that was developed over time, by millions of people, because it actually tastes good.  And it just happens to be healthy,†he said.  So try eating more fish rich in omega-3 loke salmon, sardines and tuna and other lean animal proteins like chicken and turkey are also part of the diet.  Red meat and butter are eaten rarely but eggs and other dairy products like yogurt and cheese are OK, as is moderate alcohol consumption.

Monterey, CA Elder Abuse Scammers Posing As IRS Agents

A pile of money sitting next to stacks of cash.


There have been numerous cases of elder abusers posing as IRS agents on the phone and demanding payments for some made up past due bills.  The IRS said they would never call people without first sending a letter, and now they have reversed a decades-old policy where IRS agents would show up on your doorstep to collect unpaid taxes and unfiled tax returns.  The Treasury Department said it was reversing its policy due to fears that anti-government and anti-tax groups would track down IRS employees with malevolent intent.  So be assured that any phone call or in-person visit from a supposed IRS agent is a scam.
