Steady Diet of Mental Stimulation Might Reduce Alzheimer's Risk
CHICAGO (Reuters) - People who challenge their brains throughout their lifetimes — through reading, writing and playing games — are less likely to develop protein deposits in the brain linked with Alzheimer's, U.S. researchers said on Monday. Prior studies have suggested that people who are well educated and stay mentally active build up brain reserves that allow them to stay sharp even if …
