Pay Attention to Your "Courting" Music

Are you worried that perhaps one day you'll get Alzheimer's disease? Rather than worry about it, there is something contructive you can do! There is ample research documenting the fact that people who have Alzheimer's disease can often remember, recognize, and sing along to the music of their "courting years!" In study after study, patients who no longer recognized their family members or even remembered their own name, heard some music on the piano, another instrument or just people singing, and the patient started singing along too, often remembering verse after verse.

So what can YOU do? Start making a list of all the music you loved when you were in high school, college and probably through your 20's. It could be the best medicine you have!
