Protecting Your Brain Health

I have talked about brain health before, but I think it bears some more thoughts. With the increasing number of people developing Alzheimer's Disease, there are a few thing you can do to help protect your brain.

First is to literally protect your brain. Use a helmet when cycling, use seat belts, and use care when there is an increased risk of a fall, such as when you are on a ladder. We know that Alzheimer's is linked to previous head trauma, so protect your head. I cross country ski and I usually say it's just me and the trees, but I still wear a helmet. Those trees can give you a pretty nasty rap on the head!
