Some Thoughts on Alzheimer’s and Dementia Prevention

Posted on | July 26, 2010

It’s a fact that science has a lot to learn about Alzheimer’s and dementia prevention, but there have been many studies done on the topic.

I have read a lot of studies and blogs relating to the issue and have a theory of my own.

One of the studies I read was that there was only a small link between the mind-exercise games and Alzheimer’s or dementia prevention. Another study was that dancing has continuously proven to have a positive effect on prevention. Therefore, I started to brainstorm what dancing has that mind-exercise games don’t. I’ve come up with three characteristics:

  1. Physical activity
  2. Two or more people involved
  3. Non-verbal communication

So I started thinking up other activities that involve these three things. I’ve come up with:

  • Three-legged races
  • Playing in a band
  • Playing on a team sport
  • Two-seated bicycles
  • Sex
  • Many activities in long-term relationships

Can you think of any more activities that require those three things?
