Live Well, Age Wisely: Healthy Habits for Your Brain…

In my last column, I mentioned a training I had attended with information from the Alzheimer’s Association. One statistic really stood out and I’ve been thinking a lot about its significance. “Up to 40% of dementia cases could be prevented or delayed by targeting modifiable risk factors.” While certain risk factors like age, genetics, race, and gender are non-modifiable, some small shifts in our lifestyles can lead to healthy habits which lower the risk of developing cognitive decline.

Beyond Reason: Steal the show…

I want to formally go on record declaring my commitment to the foundational principles of civilization. Chief among them is the notion of private property. From an early age, we are taught to distinguish between mine and yours—meum and tuum. This delineation is not merely practical; it is moral. It forms the basis for trust and the social contract itself. To transgress this boundary—to steal—is a violation of that contract. Put simply, stealing is wrong.
