Just deactivated Threads, Instagram, and X. All of which are scheduled for deletion. That felt really good. At this point, staying on there in any capacity feels like I’m being complicit.
2025 will likely be the year I stop keeping my unused profiles on X, Threads, and Instagram as placeholder accounts and finally permanetly delete them like I did with Facebook many years ago.
It’s difficult to do when you work in Tech, want to maintain a presence and connection to the vast majority of colleagues, friends, and family that actively use those platforms, and use the platforms for broadcasting.
Regardless, I did it with Facebook and am fine. I just need to commit.
I’m cleansing what I put in my mind by removing centralized social media apps from my phone to start the New Year off right and recapture my free time for thinking and consuming better content. #MindDiet
MIND diet slows cognitive decline in older adults, but effects vary by race https://www.psypost.org/mind-diet-slows-cognitive-decline-in-older-adults-but-effects-vary-by-race/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #MINDdiet #cognitivedecline #olderadults #race #socialfactors
Mind diet or less food
Help cognition for the elderly
Good for the aging mind
A new #RCT in NEJM shows the #MINDdiet didn't prevent any decline in #BrainFunction after 3 years. Response from the diet's fan club? Just wait a few more years. Surely an effect will show up!
Rationalization is nimble.

Salad Niçoise without the green beans or capers. (And with yellow peppers) Surprised how much I enjoyed this!

(PS… I didn’t come to mastodon to post about food, but here it is.) 😉
So for those of you keen on moving towards the #MINDDiet (combo of #mediterraneandiet and #DASHdiet), I highly recommend this bean stew.
A bean eater I’m not but it was good!
We ate it with homemade Seeded Multigrain Sourdough, gremolata and a plate of olive 🫒 oil drizzled with balsamic vinegar.
As good as any Italian restaurant I haven’t been to since Covid started.
Really it’s the recipe, not me! 😂

“It is now clear that some #diets are particularly good for the brain. One recent study concludes that sticking to the “#MediterraneanDiet”, high in #vegetables, #fruit, #pulses and #wholegrains, low in red and processed meats and saturated fats, decreases the chances of experiencing #strokes, #cognitiveimpairment and #depression. Other recent work looking at a “green” Mediterranean diet high in #polyphenols (the #antioxidants found in things like green tea) found it reduced age-related brain #atrophy. Another version, the #minddiet, emphasises, among other things, eating #berries over other kinds of fruit and seems to lessen the risk of #dementia.” #plantbased #plantbaseddiet https://www.economist.com/christmas-specials/2022/12/20/how-food-affects-the-mind-as-well-as-the-body
