Some Thoughts on Alzheimer’s and Dementia Prevention

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?
