Eat your vegetables and exercise.

If you're fat, lose weight. It's a risk factor for practically everything and you're getting old now whether you like it or not. You can at least stop causing further damage.

Read books. It helps you stay sharp. If you just can't read, do something else daily that uses your brain.

Unfortunately, there's a reason that you hardly see many fat, old people.

Does reading lemmy count as using my brain?

[-] lagomorphlecture@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

Maybe? Depends on the community, I guess...lol

The ones where the comments don't end in lol are usually the most mentally stimulating
