Study suggests reading, puzzles may delay onset of Alzheimer’s
|
|
|
An active mind in old age may delay the onset of Alzheimer's by up to five years, according to a new study. Researchers said activities like reading, writing letters, playing cards or doing puzzles may prolong brain health even for people in their 80s. The study results don’t prove that being mentally active delays dementia but suggest that various cognitive activities may be helpful.
