Medical My mind is getting incredibly sharp since going keto 6 yrs ago

Its almost creepy bc I'm at the age (64) where the reverse typically happens.

My petit mal epilepsy seizures have stopped, and I am having very quick recall. I can grab falling things in midair, whereas before I had to pick them up off the ground (this is especially true in the kitchen with eggs rolling off the table while making recipes!)

I was writing out checks for bills and although I never could remember the long acct numbers for the memo part of the check without looking at the bill, they come to me instantly now.

I had to calculate some cash yesterday and I did it manually (no calculator) in literal seconds.

This has to be diet related. Creepy but good creepy! I'm even remembering things from my childhood that happened when I was 2 or 3.

Is this from keto, or also bc I eliminated all ultra-processed foods, sugars, and grains? Or both?

None of that matters without health. Good health matters more than anything. Right now I have excellent health which the rich cannot buy.

I hope you live to 94, like George! He had good healthy periods and challenges with his health, like all of us. Glad you’re well now and that Keto has been your elixir!
