He was an avid reader I am told. He liked to discuss politics and keep up with things. So I'm not surprised with the studies that bear out these correlations. It does seem that in general "keeping the saw sharp" really helps. And my Uncle Blake that just passed away at 89 was pretty sharp right up ’til the end. He was an avid reader I am told.

My grandmother passed away after suffering with Alzheimer's disease and it was so sad to her lose her memories like that. I recently came across several articles that indicate your brain is a muscle that needs to be exercised. Whether it is completing cross word puzzles or playing bridge, it is important for your brain to maintain it's ability to retain information. Studies even suggest that people suffering the physiological effects of Alzheimer's can reduce (or eliminate) the symptoms by exercising their brain. I wholeheartedly agree with you here.
