In his book, Healthy Aging, Dr. Andrew Weil recommends learning a foreign language as a way to prevent Alzheimers.
From the ABC News story, “Learning a Foreign Language Can Help You Live Longer“:
“Weil believes that by learning a foreign language we can reduce the risks of getting some of the most common age-related symptoms and diseases such as memory loss and Alzheimer’s.”
Foreign languages are not only fun, but also a way to prevent memory loss.
That means if i learn 5 foreign language i will live more 🙂
Hopefully at least your mind will be more lucid than that of someone who is monolingual.
