Excerpt from Dr. Oz’s site.

Still, there are things you can do to keep your mind sharp. The most important one is to get plenty of exercise, starting now. It’s true that brain volume shrinks as we get older, but several thousand new cells are created every day, and research shows that regular aerobic exercise jump-starts the process, slashing your risk of Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia. My advice? Take some dance lessons. Dancing hits all the areas critical for healthy aging: You’re exercising, learning new steps, and socializing.”

–Majid Fotuhi, MD, PhD, chairman of the NeuroGrow Brain Fitness Center in McLean, Virginia, and director of the Johns Hopkins Memosyn Neurology Institute in Lutherville, Maryland
