STUDY FINDS WAYS TO REDUCE RISK OF MILD COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT

Isn't it great there are dedicated people out there in the world who are working very hard to find answers to awful diseases like Alzheimer's and other dementias? Mayo Clinic has recently published a case-controlled study of whether a combination of physical exercise (of any type) plus computer use would help reduce the risk of acquiring mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Both of those activities have been shown in previous independent studies to reduce the risk of acquiring MCI, but it now appears the combination of the two produce an even greater protection: "The joint effect is more than the expected arithmetic sum," said Yonas Endale Geda, M.D. who was the study's lead investigator. MCI often progresses to Alzheimer's, so this is exciting news! Get out there and take brisk walks, then come home and turn on the computer for awhile! You'll be doing your brain a favor! Happy surfing!
