Speaking two languages may delay Alzheimer's


link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/41670925/ns/health-alzheimers_di...

Mastering a second language can pump up the brain in ways that seem to delay getting Alzheimer's disease later on, scientists said Friday.

While the new research focuses mostly on the truly long-term bilingual, scientists say even people who tackle a new language later in life stand to gain.

The more proficient the person becomes, the better, but "every little bit helps," said Ellen Bialystok, a psychology professor at York University in Toronto.

I think what they were paid millions to discover is anything that keeps your brain active will have the same results. Having a real interest in Porn would probably have the same effect.

I think that would get the same results as firing blanks in a rifle.
