I found this link through Digg.com. It’s five tips to keep your mind healthy. I will add to his already great five tips.
As with his #1, I recommend subscribing to Dictionary.com’s Word of the Day e-mail. I receive a new word every day. It’s interesting and it does indeed help build your vocabulary. I really wish I had more time to borrow books from the library and read. I mean I do but I think my attention span is so short that I just can’t do it. Either that, or I’m stupid.
Feel free to add your own tips.
One of the most biggest drug trials for the alzheimers disease is beginning in San Francisco. Many people inherit this disease from parents so I’m sure this will pertain to many people out there who have lost or still have parents with this disease. According to this Yahoo! article, the drug called Flurizan, lessens or slows the disease down; it does not entirely remove or help to defeat alzheimers. It’s a start and I’m glad that there are people working on this. I’m happy to see millions of dollars go in to this type of research.
