Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Here's my quick response to "any input is needed"...
1. clean up your diet, eat more good food, less junk food.
2. reduce alcohol and tobacco use.
3. exercise, to include aerobics (walking), strength (weights, resistance) training & stretching if possible.
4. Have a reason to live - wake up with something to do every day. Boring is bad. There's much to do in this world! Volunteering makes me feel better.
5. Be kind to people, reduce or eliminate hate from your mind. Say something nice to a person once a day minimum.

Yes, thank you, I agree all of those suggestions are important in cognitive functioning as well as emotional state. Surprisingly, I am relatively good in all areas of your list — but on #3, I could use some improvement. I was doing brisk walking about 6 times a week but for the last couple months, I’ve reduced it to 2. I admire the knowledge you have in the most foundational and important aspects of improving cognitive functioning and I imagine your list helps most people in the population; however, I happen to be an anomaly or outlier in the bell-shaped curve, who was most likely born with some genetic, neurological deficits OR a person who has undergone so much trauma in their lives that some brain regions may have truncated synaptic/neuronal pathways. I can come to this conclusion based on the numerous amounts of things I have tried to improve my difficulties. Thank you so much for your response. God bless you
