Last night, in Seattle, I met Art Thiel. He is an author and sports journalist. We spoke for 15 minutes about the fear that NFL football players have of getting dementia. Football is hard on the body and the brain. I explained how even if there is much physical damage or damage to the brain itself, you can still stimulate and create new pathways! I told him that sense of smell should be checked in each Seahawk player to determine if they are on the road to dementia. (20 years before people get dementia, they lose their sense of smell). He said he would tell Russell Wilson about me. There are things to do to mitigate damage to the brain and even improve function in most people.
