Let's Talk Dementia

Have you given much thought to your gut? Maybe you should!

Just because you “hear” what someone is saying does not mean your brain has processed that information.

Do you feel as if your world is filled with stress, anxiety, or tension, and you can't see anything except the "bad" things? Is it hard to find the good things in your world? You might have an infestation of "Just The Bad Ants."

How many times in your life have you felt "less than" in a particular life situation? It is so common, and it is not beneficial to us. The Less Than Ant needs to be exterminated!

Stress is causing life to be "wacked up!" That is my new technical term, and I believe it is accurate. We deal with stressors we should not have in our lives. How do we handle this?

Do you constantly surround yourself with the world news?  Newspapers…television…scrolling on your phone… all of these can be detrimental to your cognitive and emotional health. 

Many of us know about the Grimm Fairy Tales, but have ever thought about how scary they are? To think these stories were read to us as children is kind of crazy. The stress brought on by these scary stories is something to be considered. Stress is not our friend!

There are many phobias, and some you may be familiar with. I will share a few with you today that might be unfamiliar. Phobias can lead to stress. Stress leads to dementia.

Phobias are defined as an overwhelming and debilitating fear of an object, place, situation, 
​feeling or animal.  Phobias can cause stress that is harmful to our bodies.  

Today we will talk about a few phobias you may never have heard of. 

We all live with stress that is causing dis-ease and disease. Did you know stress can cause dementia? What does that have to do with lions, tigers, bears, ants, and cavemen?
