How I Plan to fight Alzheimers: Champagne and Show Tunes

I've got to say, I'm thrilled with all the new research coming out with strategies to prevent dementia. 

• According to a study from the University of Reading, drinking champagne several times a week may counteract the memory loss associated with aging.  
• If that isn't fun enough, another study has shown that singing show tunes improves the brain power of dementia patients. 
• Not to be outdone, researchers at Harvard have found that chocolate protects against Alzheimers. 

Of course I know I'm going to live a long time because

• According to this study, cat owners have lower heart attack risk. 
• Some researchers have actually studied the average age of death of various artists and scientists, and harpists do pretty well compared to other musicians.
• Another study from Harvard tells us that spicy foods help people live longer.

So I intend to play with my cats, eat spicy food and chocolate and drink champagne while singing show tunes at the top of my lungs.  When I get tired of that I'll sit and play my harp.

Research is wonderful.  I'm looking forward to aging - it sounds like fun!
