Dancing has profound effect in reversing signs of aging in the brain

As we grow older we suffer a decline in mental and physical fitness, which can be made worse by conditions like Alzheimer's disease. A new study, published in the open-access journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, shows that older people who routinely partake in physical exercise can reverse the signs of aging in the brain, and dancing has the most profound effect.

Had a relative who used to go dancing every Saturday night with his wife.  She lived to be 90.  He made it to 101.  And he was as sharp as a tack till the end.

Zumba; it might look sissy for a man to do it. And it's lost some popularity but I think it's a good alternative to really hard workouts.

Look it up. Kind of fun too.

We visited this one living complex for senior citizens, there was this man who was just darting around, he must do it all the time. He didn't have a partner and I don't think there was anything wrong with him. Just a cheerful person.
