How can I keep from getting senile when I get old?

Answer 1

Keep your mind active. Keep learning new things all of your life. Read books. Do crossword puzzles. Stay healthy, stay active.'

Answer 2

I come from a long line of Centurians. Many of my aunts and uncles are in their middle ninetys. None have alzheimers but a few have dementia.
Here are ways not to get senile although if you live long enough it does happen anyway. Our brains were constucted to last about 70 years.
Steps to take:
Take Ginko Biloba (natural supplement, get a drug store)
Keep mind active (games, poker, reading)
Get exercise every day (or yoga, tai chi, swiming)
Eat well rounded diet and cut down on salt and fat and sugar.
that means lots of veggies, protein, and fruits.
Take vitamin and mineral supplements
Have great genes (hereditary is the key)

Start these steps and you are on the way to a good long life.

Answer 3

If you figure it out you'll be a millionare!

Most of my family lived to 93+ and only one got senile and then it was only for about a week before she died.

I have a Aunt who is very educated but smoked her whole life
like a chimney who is now 95 and although shes crabby she
shows no signs of senility.

Answer 4

Yes! keep a health life style,no smoking,only very moderate drinking, exercise, and learn new things to "exercise your brain". These have all proven to stave off senility, just not much fun.

Answer 5

Well, I believe research shows that the more active you keep your brain, the more deferred the deterioration will be. Keeping your mind active can include taking classes, doing cross word puzzles, being involved in community events, etc.

Answer 6

Lose you mind before you get there

Answer 7

Die young!!
