I'm always interested in new information about dementia. Two family members have symptoms. One is 92 years old, so that's not so surprising. The other is in her fifties, and that was quite a shocker.
The things I have been reading on the subject are very hopeful. I was looking at a magazine article about having a sharper brain. The number one thing you can do is exercise.
From August 2006 Reader's Digest:
Arthur Kramer (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) and his colleagues have proved two critical findings: Fit people have sharper brains, and people who are out of shape, but then get into shape, sharpen up their brains.
It was suggested by Mark McDaniel (Washington University in St. Louis) to use a combination of aerobics and weight training. Studies show the best outcomes for those engaged in both types of exercise.
