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:
- Physical activity
- Two or more people involved
- 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?
