PM - Brain gyms gain popularity
Well we've all heard that keeping our bodies active and healthy is good for us BUT now a new kind of Gym is emerging.
Aparently the new wave of gym will be a workout for your mind.
Personally I'm just not sold on this theory of keeping your mind active keeps the dementia and alzheimer'd disease at bay.
My mother was a school teacher and once retired had at least six different hobbies on the go all at once. She was one very active person and that didn't stop her from developing Frontotemperal Dementia.
My Aunt is a similiar story being struck down with Alzheimer's Disease.
Maybe it comes down to the exact type of things one does to keep ones mind active?
We can but live in hope that one day much more will be known about this horrible disease.
