What’s BAD for Brains? A LOT!
Sunny? At every age: SUNGLASSES, please!
Loud? In the car, at a concert, working on a truck: EAR PLUGS, please!
After contact sports at any level: Please ICE YOUR HEAD!
Super Bowl Champion Chicago Bear Dave Duerson, before taking his own life, wrote a note donating his brain for research. Long suffering myriad symptoms of dementia, an autopsy of Duerson’s brain confirms what many believe to be an under-reported issue for professional and amateur athletes alike: Dave Duerson did, indeed, have the tangles of dementia in an otherwise-healthy brain. Repetitive brain trauma – from impacts as violent as to a boxer or NFL player to those as simple as falling off a bicycle – can cause chronic traumatic encephalopathy (‘CTE’), a dementia-like brain disease afflicting athletes exposed to repeated brain trauma.
This disturbing news (‘disturbing’ both for its veracity and its under-reportedness) supports the long-held Betty’s Tenet (and Betty’s Learning Program): A Proper Diagnosis™ is key to understanding, treating, and thriving Joy-fully despite any form of dementia or cognitive impairment. Read more about Dave Duerson’s brain tangled results and NFL players’ experience with CTE.
Please protect, nourish, and boost your brain every day, at every age.
If it’s sunny out – or if you’re followed by paparazzi (and why wouldn’t you be?): Wear sunglasses!
If you need sunglasses: CHILDREN need sunglasses, too!
In the car, at a concert, working on heavy equipment: Lower the volume and wear ear plugs!
If you play football (or fall of your bar stool cheering), if you stumble and bump your head, or if you simply bang your forehead on a cabinet door: ICE YOUR HEAD and, if appropriate to your medical health, take an NSAID to help reduce any possible swelling in your brain.
