Pray Tell
A new study released which involved almost 1,000 Catholic nuns, priests and monks over 12 years revealed that those who were most conscientious had a lower risk of developing Alzheimers disease. It’ believed that being conscientious might result in a capability to better cope with plaques that may build up in the brain, eventually leading to a progression of the disease.
Nuns, priests and monks with scores in the top 10 per cent had an 89 per cent lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s than those with scores in the lowest 10 per cent and also found that conscientiousness was associated with a slower rate of mental decline. . (more)
