Reversing Alzheimer's memory loss may be possible

Reversing Alzheimer's memory loss may be possible - Yahoo! News (Reuters)

It's good to hear such positive and hopeful news about Alzheimer's Disease.

This article makes me wonder yet again about something I've long suspected - that Alzheimer's patients frequently get worse, or at least deteriorate at a faster rate, when they are "put away" into nursing homes. ("Warehousing" some have called it.)

This could be from lack of stimulation. A lack of mental exercise - literally!

Also, being home alone in that easy chair in front of the TV too much would have a similar effect it would seem.

It's becoming more and more obvious to me that throughout our lives we need to continue to work our minds, as well as work our bodies.
