One of the most interesting studies I have ever read was the 1996 “Nun” study examining the association between low idea density in writing and later development of Alzheimers. This is an equally interesting study:
Playing chess, bridge or a musical instrument significantly lowers the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, according to the most comprehensive study to examine the benefits of challenging intellectual activity among the elderly.
Seniors who regularly engaged in pastimes that stretched their minds — sorry, watching TV doesn’t count — lowered their risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias by as much as 75 percent, compared with those who didn’t exercise their minds, researchers said yesterday.
The report bolsters a growing body of evidence that exercising the mind through board games, social activities and education offers powerful protection against mental deterioration and disease.
Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase “Use it or lose it.”

The folks at RealPolitik need your donations to help defray the costs for a license to distribute their daily comics. You can read about the whole thing here, which also is where you should donate.
And if your are not reading Realpolitik every day, you should be.
