Physical Activity and Dementia: Is Timing Everything?

MedScape - December 12 2025
https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/physical-activity-and-dementia-timing-everything-2025a1000xka?ecd=WNL_trdalrt_pos1_251205_etid7933383&uac=445044EN&impID=7933383

In several studies, regular physical activity has been linked to lower risk for cognitive decline and dementia. But a key question is whether physical activity during certain adult life stages is most associated with dementia risk. 🏋️‍♀️🏊‍♀️🚴

The main findings of the study were that higher physical activity levels were particularly important in midlife and later life. Physical activity in early life was not clearly associated with dementia risk.

Higher levels of moderate or heavy activity in midlife or later life were linked with lower dementia risk. Physical activity in midlife was only associated with lower dementia risk among participants without an APOE4 Alzheimer's risk gene. Late-life activity, however, was associated with reduced dementia risk among both APOE4 carriers and noncarriers, suggesting late-life physical activity may offset some APOE4-related changes. ⛹️‍♀️⛷

There are multiple potential mechanisms underlying the reduced dementia risk associated with physical activity. Exercise reduces inflammation, helps to maintain favorable body composition, increases cerebral blood flow, and favorably affects neuroplasticity and levels of brain-derived neurotropic factor expression. 👍

Physical activity early in life is also critically important for coronary heart disease, stroke, and other chronic disease risk reduction. Therefore, beginning healthy lifestyle habits early in life is probably the best strategy of all in terms of cardiometabolic and general health. 😁

Walk for Peace 2025 - https://www.facebook.com/walkforpeaceusa

Buddhist monks are walking from Texas to Washington DC to promote peace. They began their 2,300 mile trek in October and are currently in Georgia. Accompanying the monks is a rescue dog named Aloka. Their stops along the way bring out supporters and local church groups who offer food, shelter and welcoming hospitality.

Please take time to become familiar with this walk and its significance - and share with your friends and contacts so they can support the monk's journey. 🕊

Here are the messages of their walk:

* pilgrimage as symbol of unity
* community engagement
* compassion, loving kindness and forgiveness
* peace as a daily practice

In this new year, let's all come together to hold the intention for peace. 🕊

Wishing you a nourishing, fulfilling, and peaceful new year! 💜🎉🕊

AHNCC supports GAHN call to Protect Federal Recognition of Nursing as a Professional Degree

EINPressWire - December 19, 2025

https://www.einpresswire.com/article/876873411/ahncc-supports-gahn-call-to-protect-federal-recognition-of-nursing-as-a-professional-degree

The U.S. Department of Education has proposed a deﬁnition of “professional degree” programs that excludes nursing. The GAHN statement calls upon the U.S. Department of Education to revise the proposed definition of “professional degree” programs to explicitly include nursing.

The exclusion threatens access to federal student loans, undermines the nursing education pipeline, and places the future of the healthcare workforce at serious risk.

Excluding nursing from the federal definition of “professional degree” would limit access to essential federal student loan programs, especially for:
• First-generation college students
• Students from rural, underserved, and marginalized communities
• Working adults returning to school
• Students pursuing advanced practice and doctoral education

At a time of historic nursing shortages, burnout, and rising population health needs, restricting educational access will deepen—not solve—our national healthcare crisis.

Such exclusion:
• Disrupts equitable access to nursing education
• Disenfranchises nurses, the largest group of healthcare providers in the nation
• Undermines resources for the healthcare workforce
• Expands the critical nursing shortage
• Weakens national public health capacity
• Interferes with US healthcare transformation goals
• Threatens the future of holistic nursing scholarship

We urge you, the public, to support this call for action if you value your health, the nurses who care for you and your loved ones, and a better healthcare system for all. Please contact the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and Department of Education on behalf of GAHN.

1. After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children and my friends, I have now started loving myself.
2. I have realized that I am not “Atlas”. The world does not rest on my shoulders.
3. I have stopped bargaining with vegetable & fruit vendors. A few pennies more is not going to break me, but it might help the poor fellow save for his daughter’s school fees.
4. I leave my waitress a big tip. The extra money might bring a smile to her face. She is toiling much harder for a living than I am.
5. I stopped telling the elderly that they've already told that story many times. The story makes them walk down memory lane & relive their past.
6. I have learned not to correct people even when I know they are wrong. The onus of making everyone perfect is not on me. Peace is more precious than perfection.
7. I give compliments freely & generously. Compliments are a mood enhancer not only for the recipient, but also for me. And a small tip for the recipient of a compliment, never, NEVER turn it down, just say "Thank You.”
8. I have learned not to bother about a crease or a spot on my shirt. Personality speaks louder than appearances."

As we're soon to enter into a new year, perhaps these insights might influence some new behaviors - no matter how old we are. 💜
