RE: Physical Activity is Good for Your Brain and Helps Prevent Dementia

in #health7 years ago

Personally, I combat dementia by watching sports on TV... I know, I know, it can be exhausting, but I'm willing to make the extra effort. Actually, my routine is walking the dog in the morning (about a mile or so) then writing for several hours. I think one cause of dementia is lack of mental stimulation. The brain is like any other muscle- if you don't use it, it atrophies. (and I know the brain isn't a muscle)

Yeah, but many might think it's just mental "exercise" and use, but the physical is important too, more than we might think ;)

That's why the hound walks me every day!
