Unlock the Secrets to Slowing Mental Decline: Simple Steps to Avoid Dementia as You Age

It’s no secret that as we age, our mental health can start to decline. Dementia is an increasingly common problem, and it can be terrifying for those who are at risk of developing it. Luckily, there are steps you can take to help keep your outlook positive and your brain healthy.

1. Stay active. Exercise is one of the best ways to maintain good mental health. Regular physical activity has been shown to improve cognitive functioning and even delay the onset of dementia. If you’re not used to exercising, start slow and gradually increase the intensity of your workouts. 2. Eat a balanced diet. Eating a balanced diet is key for keeping your body and mind in shape. Make sure to get plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Avoid processed and sugary foods, as well as foods high in saturated fat. 3. Keep learning. Learning new things is a great way to keep your brain active. Take a class at a local community college, learn a new language, or study something that interests you. 4. Stay social. Social interaction is important for maintaining good mental health. Make an effort to stay connected with family and friends. Join a club or volunteer in your community. 5. Get enough sleep. Sleep is essential for keeping your mental health in check. Aim for at least 8 hours of sleep each night. If you’re having trouble sleeping, talk to your doctor about ways to improve your sleep. By following these simple steps, you can help keep your brain healthy and reduce your risk of developing dementia.

Boneshaker by Cherie Priest - review of a steampunk novel

This book had a couple of technical errors that really irritated me but other than that it was a pretty good read.
The technical things, probably minor for most, but that really irritated me dealt with the air pumps a some other random issues. For I quite a while the main character was caught in an air pump inlet and somehow she was being blown back and forth. That must be some really inefficient pump! She should only be getting sucked in not blown out. Then there's other random things like a 200 foot wall around all of Seattle that was built in less than a year? To get away from a heavy soupy gas they go underground? Nobody notices dirigibles flying into Seattle, a city surrounded by hills, just because of a 200 foot wall? Sneaking up behind someone and shooting the in the head causes their brain to fly backwards towards the gun? Questionable facts here.

Otherwise though it was entertaining but the zombies were rather boring, the reviewed "suspense" was non-existent, and the characters were quite unbelievable.
The main character has been working in a plant that boils muck and water for 16 years yet suddenly she's a crack shot action hero better than people that have been living with the zombies for 16 years. A 15 year old boy is a complete moron and afraid to shoot a gun? An ordinary lowlife is able to pretend to be a mad scientist for 16 years?

It would have been much better if they just killed on the damn rotter zombies. It didn't appear to be too difficult to do. Flamethrowers anyone?

On second thought I'm lowering my review.
2/5
