how to get dementia

After watching a few people in my life go down the dementia path, I thought I might share with you the benefits of dementia and the best lifestyle to pursue that elusive formula. After all, after you completely lose it, you don't have to be responsible for anything. You can sit in a wheel chair and watch TV all day. Or just talk to your cats. You don't have to drive because your driver's license will be taken away. Your memory is shot - but with the lifestyle that you pursued, you probably don't want to remember it anyway. Someone will see to it that you are institionalized and taken care of. But it requires a lifestyle that requires a bit of dedication. You simply must adhere to this magic formula to make the quest for the ultimate life hack - the holy grail of forgetfulness and confusion. Who needs a sharp memory anyway, right? Remembering your loved ones, your own name, or where you left your keys – highly overrated stuff.

So here it is: the groundbreaking, scientifically unproven, and utterly ridiculous formula for getting dementia.

Step 1: Live on a Diet of Junk Food and Sugar
Why bother with those pesky fruits, vegetables, and whole grains when you can have a daily dose of deep-fried everything and enough sugar to power a small city? Your brain cells will surely thank you as they bid a hasty farewell. A healthy dose of recreational drugs for a couple of decades will also help move things along in the crazy direction.

Step 2: Avoid Mental Stimulation Like the Plague
Why read a book, engage in a stimulating conversation, or solve puzzles when you can stare at the wall for hours on end? Mental activity is for the weak, obviously. This is where streaming videos and watching TV non-stop becomes important!

Step 3: Say Goodbye to Quality Sleep
Who needs restorative sleep when you can binge-watch Netflix until 3 AM every night? Let exhaustion and sleep deprivation be your constant companions. Your brain will be so foggy; you’ll forget what it was like to be fully awake. Get lots of cats and let them have full access to where you sleep. They will constantly wake you up during the night. Their attention is much more important than your mental health.

Step 4: Isolate Yourself from Social Interactions
Human connections? Meaningful relationships? Nah, you’re better off alone. Social isolation is the perfect way to ensure your brain cells wither away from lack of use. Remember - you can talk to your cats and pretend you are socializing.

Step 5: Avoid Physical Exercise at All Costs
Why break a sweat when you can keep your body as immobile as a statue? Exercise is rumored to be good for your brain, but who needs a healthy mind when you can have a sedentary lifestyle? If you do it right, you can start telling people about all the manual labor you did 20-30 years ago. What you did physically decades ago keeps you in shape forever. Also make sure and stay indoors and don't get any sunlight or fresh air.

Disclaimer: If it wasn’t glaringly obvious, the above steps are a sarcastic take on what NOT to do if you want to maintain a healthy brain. In reality, leading a healthy lifestyle, engaging in mental and physical activities, having a balanced diet, and nurturing social connections are vital for brain health. Dementia is a serious condition, and no magic formula can prevent it. So, let’s embrace the wonders of a healthy lifestyle and keep those brain cells in tip-top shape! Regular brain health assessments and brain training - such as you can do with the Brain Gauge - can help keep you in decent shape.
