Your mum sounds amazing, I'm so happy she's so sharp, and funny to boot! My mum is heading towards cognitive decline (currently being assessed) and it's heartbreaking to see such a sharp mind slowly going. She's suffered from loneliness in recent years and has become very introvert, and her diet in recent years has also got really bad, which I am sure sped up the decline.
Thank you for sharing and also the food advice - Chris von Tulleken's book - Ultra Processed People is most excellent and quite new.
