Silver Surfers Defy Ageing!

Good News!

If you are reading this you are halving your chances of developing Dementia ..... well according to this story ... if you are middle aged, not that I am .... ahem!

It has long been thought that activities which keep the brain active, such as crossword puzzles, may help minimise that impact - and the latest study suggests that surfing the web can be added to the list.


Areas activated by reading a book in the brain of an experienced web user


Web use stimulates much more activity in the same brain


Brain activity in web newcomers: similar for reading and Internet use.

The more you surf, the better the results .... so 'shine on', you "Silver Surfing" dudes and dudettes ....

Moderation is on for older posts to stop spamming and comments that are off topic or inappropriate from being posted .... comments are reviewed within 48 hours. I don't block normal comments that are on topic and not inappropriate. Vexatious comments that may cause upset to other commentators, or that are attempting to espouse a particular wider political view, are reviewed before acceptance. But a certain amount of debate around a post topic is accepted, as long as it remains generally on topic and is not an attempt to become sounding board for some other cause.

Final decision on all comments is held by the blog author and is final.

Comments are always monitored for bad or abusive language, and or illegal statements i.e. overtly racist or sexist content. Spam is not tolerated and is removed.
