FORGETFULNESS!!


As we grow older, and we all do, forgetfulness becomes a problem. How many times have we walked into a room with a definite objective in mind and then completely forget what that objective was.

The good news is that's a problem for all of us and doesn't mean we are headed for Dementia. Many recent neurological studies have now confirmed that Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Dementia were found less likely to develop in seniors if they maintained an exercise regime of at least 15-30 minutes a day for at least three days a week.

Now that's not much exercise in my opinion, but if these studies are accurate, how about 1 hour a day 6 days a week it, certainly can't hurt. We are seniors and we must find time to exercise because the most important duty to ourselves is our health.
