An article in <em>Women&#8217;s Health<\/em> magazine cites a study in the <em>New England Journal of Medicine<\/em> that examined 11 physical activities.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers discovered that dancers have more mental acuity and lower their risk of developing brain disease over the long term compared with those who don&#8217;t dance. Dancing was the only activity of the 11 studied that lowered the risk of dementia by at least 76%.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, you can think you&#8217;re losing your grip in the nonstop world of modern life. Don&#8217;t succumb. Instead, grab a partner and dance. Drop in at your local Fred Astaire Dance Studio and take a group class or a private lesson in ballroom dance or enjoy a practice party.<\/p>\n<p>Do yourself (and your brain) a favor.
