Curious have you ever met a strong man or woman with a weak mind?

I haven’t yet…

There are exceptions to every rule...my paternal grandmother was overweight at least from the time she was about 40, she dipped snuff (ick!) and got very little exercise. She lived to be almost 91, and her mind was still very sharp, though her body had failed her.

I have seen more weak minds in the recent future, then my entire life.

To me it is offensive and a generalization on someone's looks basically to assume that they have a "weak mind."

Some of the smartest people ever have been elderly, disabled, frail, sickley, etc and brilliant, or kind, or have a special mind for loving those around them.

Just take everyone for who they are and value them for themselves. Not their physical appearance or limitations please.

Strong people still get Alzheimer's. Yes, I have seen that.

I did not make up weak body weak mind. 🥴

I receive emails from reputable health & wellness sites and this is what research is showing. Google it.

I was just wondering if anyone here has seen the connection that health professionals are saying to be a meaningful warning sign. 😔

Hi! @Desertdi 🤗

I like your humor. And forgetting things is normal but I’m talking more like…

Going to pick up a friend at her house to go shopping and out to lunch.

Turned around 1/2 way there and your friend asking you where you’re going?

Well I’m taking you home now after our nice long day

(and you hadn’t shopped or ate lunch yet.) 😔

My husband is 84 still on top of things, mentally

He was recently told by his doctor that he is losing strength in his legs...which was a bit of a surprise as he works every day, sometimes it is a physical job. The doctor suggested 1 lb weights on his legs when he rides the stationary bike.

He went to the Ortho doctor because of recent diagnosis of arthritis in his hip, but his knee hurts....DH asked for an xray but the doctor declined...I picked up a knee brace for him to wear, if that does not help, I think we will look for another doctor.

What is the harm in taking an x-ray?

My grandma lived to 104....lived alone up until the last 6 months of her life! She took no medication.

She did lose the use of her legs at the very end. I hope I got her genes...all her kids died 15+years before she died.

@Mom2Dogs 🤗

I believe it!! I think A LOT has to do with medications.

My husband’s chiropractor told him about a 104 yr old woman he knows the family of was placed in hospice last year.

They took her off ALL her meds and she gradually got better and better and was released from hospice care!

@RescueLover But it simply doesn't fit. It's like sayin all people who are tall have week minds. It leads to making assumptions about someone because of the way they look. And assuming a weak mind by looking at someone's physical health is simply wrong.

It's research. Doesn't mean anything. No more than saying thin girls are smarter. Overweight girls aren't as smart. Etc.

I see where you’re coming from but

They actually measure muscle mass on individuals. 🤓

RescueLover — Tue, 04 Feb 2025 20:47:24 GMT

I’ve had my muscle mass and strength measured at PT before.

“Weak mind” is not a kind phrase to use.
