Doctors Prescribe Sex to Prevent Alzheimer's Disease :shock:

Post by **tex** » Sun Apr 30, 2006 8:04 pm

The board seems so slow today that I thought maybe this would create a little interest. LOL.

Ok, maybe doctors are not actually writing prescriptions like that yet, but researchers have demonstrated that activities like sex, doing crossword puzzles, and running, tend to increase nerve cell development in the brain, which eventually causes new brain cells to grow.

IOW, the more active you are, both physically and mentally, the better your chances of escaping, or at least postponing, problems with diseases like Alzheimer's and/or Parkinson's.

Here's a reference for that claim:

As I mentioned in another post, researchers have known for a long time, that nicotine is a preventive for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Now that sex is also on the preventive list, if reseachers can somehow manage to prove that drinking also helps to prevent neurodegenerative diseases, it shouldn't be difficult to persuade people to do their part to help wipe out Altzheimer's in no time at all, simply by partying whenever possible. LOL.

Matthew,

Good question! Clearly, the smoking should be last, (after the sex), but I haven't seen any data on where the crossword puzzles and running should fit into the routine. From a logical viewpoint, the drinking should precede the sex, and the crossword puzzles and running will need to precede the drinking. This creates sort of a paradox, however, since smoking would enhance the crossword puzzle performance, so from that viewpoint, the smoking should be first--can't do that, though, since smoking would interfere with the running performance.

What a mess. No wonder Alzheimer's is on the increase. LOL.

Hmmm-

Interesting....well my husband is out of town this week, so I guess I'd better grab the crossword puzzle!

My mother in law was here 2 weeks ago and she is totally hooked on those Sudoku puzzles. She showed me and my oldest son how to do them. I am such a loser, I struggle with the "easy" level ones

My son is much better than I am!! My personal theory is that you are either a "word puzzle" person or a "number puzzle person".... I am much better with spelling/vocabulary and I always win those scrambled word games at baby showers...and I have observed what a lousy speller my MIL is
