Alzheimers prevented by....Viagra?
OK, mostly we discuss problems here that are more associated with cycling and aging, and not simply the problems of aging.
But the prospect of mental decline is on the minds of many of us as we get older.
And so, it comes as some surprise that Viagra may be a good therapy for preventing Alzheimers....

I dunno what to make of this, really.
Pills and Ills, indeed.

Could it be that doing a daily physical recreational activity is what actually helps with Alzheimers? I mean, if that is your daily activity, then good on ya! I could only hope to be so "active" when I'm older.
I plan on tearin' it up at the retirement home. That's why make such a deliberate effort to be so active and healthy now. Ol' Myrtle's hip isn't going to break itself.
Perhaps it's active, generally healthy people self-select Viagra prescriptions?

Talk to your doctor if you are remembering things you would rather forget...

WOO HOO! good news, of any kind, for our aging segment becomes few and far between as one gets deeper/later into it.
Article does note that a significant part of this conclusion was contributed by In Vitro never cell study... but, hey, take the 'score' if you can get it...
Up until now, Viagra has been fully 'discretionary' for those whom still want to have what it gives...
WHo knows what effects it would have on our age segment, in many ways, if use became common place ? OTC?
Hope Springs Eternal !
Ride On
