Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ahakoa he tamariki, he koroheke rānei tātou, ko te nuinga o tātou e pā ana ki te wareware o te mahara. Tērā pea ka wareware koe ki te wāhi i waiho ai e koe ngā kī o te motokā, ki te mea rānei i haere koe ki te tiki i runga. E whakawhetai ana, ka pahemo ēnei wā. Engari mō te hunga e mate ana i te ngoikoretanga, kāore he rongoā pēnei. Whakaarohia he aha te āhua o te kore e mahara ki ngā mea i mahia e koe i te haora i mua. Kāore rānei koe e mahara ki te whakatere i roto i tō whare, ki ngā ingoa rānei o tō hunga e tata ana, e arohaina ana. Me te mōhio rānei ki ngā mea o ia rā, pēnei i te pouaka whakamātao. I tēnei rā, i te wāhanga tuatoru o tā mātou raupapa nui o te Hauora Pai e pā ana ki te ngoikoretanga, ka titiro mātou ki ngā huarahi hei āwhina ki te whakaiti i te pānga o ēnei raruraru mahara, hei whakaroa i te mana motuhake, hei āwhina hoki i te hunga ngoikore ki te ora i te oranga tonu ka taea. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. He uaua ake te moe hohonu o te hunga kaumātua - engari he nui tonu te hiahia o rātau. KAUPAPA KAUPAPA KAUPAPA KAUPAPA KAUPAPA KAUPAPA KAUPAPA KAUPAPA KAUPAPA Te tino ngenge: Ki te ngenge te roro, ka pā ki te mahara, ahakoa ki te hunga kāore i te ngoikore. I tata nei, kua kitea e nga kaipūtaiao te take. I te wā o te moe hohonu, ka nekehia e ngā ngaru roro ngā maharatanga mai i te hippocampus - te wāhi o te roro e whai wāhi ana ki te mahara poto - ki te āpure o mua o te roro, kei reira e rokiroki ana ngā maharatanga roa. Ki te kore tēnei e puta, ka whakakikoruatia ngā mahara poto e ētahi hou, ā, ko te hua ko te wareware, e ai ki ngā kairangahau o te Whare Wānanga o California, Berkeley. He pohehe noa iho te whakaaro he iti ake te moe e hiahiatia ana e te tangata i a ia e pakeke ana - i te mea he nui tonu te moe e hiahiatia ana e ia, ko te raruraru ko te mea he uaua ake te moe hohonu o te hunga kaumātua. Ko te whiwhi i te moe pai i te po ka tino uaua ki te hunga e mate ana i te mate pukupuku, ina koa ko te hunga e mate ana i te mate a Alzheimer ka kite pea i nga rereketanga o a raatau tauira moe. Kaore i tino marama te take i puta ai tenei, engari tera pea e pa ana ki te paanga o te mate ki te roro. Engari, kei kona ētahi kaupae e māmā ake ai te mahi. Ko tētahi o ngā tikanga tino nui, ko te karo i te hīkoi i te awatea (he uaua ake te karo i tēnei i te mea ka nui haere te mate pukupuku...
Ko te wāhanga tuatoru tēnei o tā mātau raupapa Hauora Pai mō te ngoikoretanga. E rapu ana mātou i ngā huarahi hei āwhina ki te whakaiti i te pānga o ngā raruraru mahara. Hei tauira, ka nui ake te hiahia ki te moe i te mea ka pakeke ake tatou. Ko te raruraru ko te mea ka uaua ake te moe hohonu o te hunga pakeke. Ina tīmata te mahara wā poto ki te haere, ka uaua ki tētahi te mahara ki ngā mea i mahia e ia i taua rā, pērā i te mea kua kai kai, kua horoi, kua kōrero rānei ki tētahi. Ka āwhina te pupuri i tētahi pukapuka - he tuhinga o ngā mea i mahia i te rā. Ka āwhina hoki te tuhituhi ki te akiaki i ngā tukanga mātauranga, e taea ai te āwhina ki te whakaiti i te heke mai. Hangaia he pūmahara - arā, he wāhi matua i te kāinga, ko te tēpu kai, he tēpu rānei, kei reira ngā tuhipānui nui, ngā kī motokā, ngā kī whare, me ngā rongoā e tika ana kia tangohia. Whakanohoia ki konei ngā mea e hiahia ana koe kia tere te kimi. Whakanohoia kia kotahi tonu nga mea katoa i roto i te whare, kaua kia horahia nga mea ki nga wahi katoa o te whare. Tikina he papa ma, he papa pango rānei - e taea te whakamahi hei tuhi i tētahi hōtaka o ngā mea e hiahiatia ana kia mahia i ia rā o taua wiki. Ko nga mea e mahia ana ka taea te whakawātea. Ko tētahi atu huarahi hei whakaatu i ngā mea kua oti, engari e whakaatu ana hoki i ngā mea e toe ana kia mahia. Whakamahia ngā tatau, ngā rākau, ngā kāpeti me ngā rūma hei karo i te pōhēhē e pā ana ki te aha e haere ana ki hea. Kia mau ki te rārangi tau o ngā tau matua e tata ana ki te waea - tō tākuta me ētahi atu tohunga tiaki, kaitiaki, whānau me ngā hoa pono. Kia kawea mai he niupepa ia rā - he huarahi māmā ki te mōhio ki ngā mea e tupu ana i te ao, ā, he whakamaharatanga whai hua mō te rā o taua rā. I a koe e horoi ana, e kaukau ana rānei, whakatūria he tikanga hei whakamahara mēnā kua horoia ō makawe. Hei tauira, nekehia atu te waiu me te hopi mai i tētahi taha o te kaukau ki tētahi atu i muri i tō whakamahinga. Me kai i ngā kai auau. Ahakoa ka taea e ētahi atu pūtau o te tinana te whiwhi pūngao mai i tētahi atu wāhi, e whakawhirinaki ana te roro ki te nui o te pūngao huka mai i te toto. Koinei te take ka pā te kore kai ki te whakaaro, ki te mātauranga, ki te mahara hoki. I ngā tīmatanga o...
