Hi All, I just read an article in Newsweek magazine (January 16, 2006) on this very topic. They list the top five things to keep your brain active. They are: dancing, playing board games, playing musical instruments, doing crossword puzzles and reading. I'm sure bobbin lace making would be up there is they'd thought to test it <G>. I'm interested that dancing is first. I don't do that very often but I sure do alot of word/number puzzles <G>. I'm another Suduko fan! The article adds that "...older persons who did crossword puzzles four days a week had a risk of dementia 47 percent lower than subjects who did puzzles only once a week."
Jane in Vermont, USA where the January thaw is still going on! It got up to 50F (10C) and that's been going on for almost two weeks - a blessing with heating oil being so expensive!
