Blog For Your Health
from the anecdotal-evidence-is-good-enough dept
It seems that some patients with early-stage Alzheimer's disease have found that blogging has helped slow the onset of the disease. There's no real evidence that it helps, but the patients seem to swear by it. They say that the cognitive task of keeping a journal about their lives helps to keep their mind active, and the blog itself is useful to remind them of things.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
