How many of you guys have been inside of a nursing home? I'm sure plenty of you. Those places are so effing depressing. Some of those people literally look like they're about to die - like they have no understanding of what's going on around them. Not everybody ends up that way. Becoming mentally lazy is a quick way to get there though. UPS may not be 'rocket science', but it does keep you thinking. Mental activity is just as important as physical to keep you going into old age without ending up like some of those people. Be careful going down an easier path.
1 in 8 will get it. Smoking & drinking don't help to avoid dementia either! Diet contributes too. Read up on it.....

People are in Nursing homes for a reason. Yes, a lot of them are going to die soon....that's why they look that way.
I agree with the mental workouts, that's why the crossword puzzles and othe such activities. We can't control our genes, plaques and tangles.
