Who is at greater risk of contracting Alzheimer's disease?
People who are put at risk for Alzheimer's disease are people who stop working, retire, and are not functioning on a social level and an active level, keeping the brain working, exercising, and all of these other elements that go with it. So when you retire, just keep it working, or try not retire because they found out that people who don't retire live to longer ages, and are happier people. We must use the brain, or you can lose it. And you can ward off dementia, or slow it down, by keeping active through exercise: it could be dancing, it could be singing, it could be social activities, board games. Or getting out and just jogging or walking fast through the park. So the important thing, be active mentally and physically and socially be active. Ward off your dementia, because it's more pleasing to have this brain functioning than not functioning.
