Love, Happiness and Friendship Can Serve Your Memory Well

• Are you lonely?
• Do you isolate more often than not?
• Are you part of a group, church, synagogue or club that you enjoy and where you feel like you "belong?"
• Do you have several friends or family with whom you can "let it all hang out" pretty often?

If you have fun and are part of life each day in the best of ways, you are doing more than just enjoying yourself.

Researchers from Rush University Medical Center in Chicago reported this week that "Lonely people may have a greater risk of developing late-life dementia."

In their study they found that those who described themselves as lonely were twice as likely to develop the kind of dementia associated with Alzheimer's disease. Previous studies have suggested that people who are socially isolated or lack intellectual stimulation are at greater risk of Alzheimer's as well.

So... don't just sit there all alone! Get out! Find and make new friends. Organize your time and life around loves, creativity and mind active "belonging."
