Preventing Alzheimers

I was just telling Amanda how Dr. Andrew Weil says in his book Healthy Aging that you should learn new things to keep your mind agile to prevent Alzheimers.

Dr. Weil says you need to do the equivalent of changing your computer's operating system. Just when you are comfortable and are in a routine and know how to do things, you should shake things up and make it all different so you have to learn something new and create new pathways in your brain.
