Blogging could help prevent Alzheimer’s, expert says

Posted by Marshall on April 17, 2006 | Link It

I just read this, and I don’t know how true it is..but blogging may be good for your health…your mental health!

"Research on animals and humans suggests mentally challenging activities such as playing bridge, learning a new language or even blogging might help build new connections in the brain, says Molly Wagster at the National Institute on Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health."

Some believe that blogging can prevent Alzheimer’s disease; the story comes from a USATODAY article about healthy habits that can help you stay mentally sharp.

Now I know why being a blogger is good for me!
