I saw this article on a news site addressing how we can prevent….or at least slow, Dementia. This condition affects millions and will most likely affect you or someone close to you.

https://www.cnn.com/videos/health/2023/03/28/dementia-prevention-tips-lbb-orig.cnn?iid=fw_var-reg-hp-12

They were:

1. Get from behind the TV.
2. Do social activities.
3. Dance…especially social dancing.
4. Learn new things…such as new movements or/and another language.

Well…could I offer you Capoeira?!? My favorite spots and fam can be found here. See if they are near you, if not…put Google to work.
