Can chess check-mate Alzheimer’s?

It’s not about CHESS itself. 


Don’t get me wrong, I like chess. I am, admittedly, awful at it, but I like it anyway. 


Pathetic, really. Kind of strange to like something that you’re totally terrible at … like watching a dancer who is the only one on planet Earth who enjoys his dancing. 

Nevertheless, what is important here is that you are engaged in your life and doing something that puts your neurons on SOME kind of mental treadmill. And what is really cool about this is that it doesn’t matter what it is, as long as it’s something that you find some pleasure in — even if you are wonky at it. 


So. Do this. 
Go play something: an instrument, a competitive sport where you can beat up on someone in basketball, bowling or badminton, or walk or dance or do puzzles because it’s fun. If you want your brain to work, you have to work your brain. 


This is just a little uncommon common sense.
