Researchers studied hobbies and rates of dementia in 2.1 million people and found that those who engage in mental activities are a quarter more likely to be diagnosed with dementia, that is, dementia. The Daily Mail writes about it.

According to a review of several studies, the best way to protect yourself from dementia is to keep your brain stimulated.

So, people who regularly read books, play musical instruments or keep a personal diary have a 23% lower risk of developing this disease.

Regular exercise, yoga or dance classes provide a 17 percent protective effect.

And people who lead an active social life have a 7% lower risk of developing dementia than those who are single.

In addition, joining a club, volunteering, spending time with friends and family, or attending religious events also had a positive effect.

“This meta-analysis shows that being active is beneficial, and there are many activities that can be easily incorporated into daily life and can be good for the brain,” said lead author Professor Ling. Lu of Peking University.

Remember that dementia is a global problem, but it occurs more often in wealthy countries where people are more likely to live to a ripe old age. Currently there is no cure for this disease.

Remember that excessive alcohol consumption is a major risk factor for the development of all types of dementia.
