Ignorance is bliss. Knowledge is power.
To inform is to do the ultimate great kindness.
To have fun is a blessing.
We all need a sense of humour!
" Your Brain Can Grow Larger with Exercise
Regular exercise makes your brain larger, according to a study from the University of Illinois (Journal fo Gerontology, November 2006). With aging, your brain becomes smaller. This study showed that 60 to 79-year-old men who exercised regularly actually had their brains grow larger. Study participants who did only a stretching and toning program had their brains shrink."
The quote is from the Blog of Dr. Gabe Mirkin M.D.from the link
It just puts a little wisdom and knowledge into your day.
Alzheimer's is not a nice disease. It is UNKIND not to do everything to help prevent it in yourself and in others. It is UNKIND not to acknowledge those who do try.

Love the signature tune!!
That's quite impressive about the link between exercising and brain size. Alzheimers is a scary disease, and anything that holds it off should be encouraged!

That's right. The brain can't regenerate. Once you damage it...it's damaged for good. Kind of scary to think about huh?
