Could this be used to prevent alzheimer. I saw sometime ago an article on a study that said that people who read frequently had a lower percentage of probability of suffering alzheimer.
Maybe this exercise to the brain could contribute to prevent this deseas also.

I am glad that it is being put out there but it is not new information. It should be studied more for many disorders and used right now.

The only difference between a guy on the street and a piano virtuoso is 10,000 hours of practice.

I learned how to juggle 3 and 4 balls some months ago. While practicing I noticed changes in my heart rate (must’ve been the excitement of seeing that I was really doing it) and it made me break a sweat too, and my eyes were all over the place. I thought that it was a heck of an excercise! Now that I can do it, I can spend a week or two without practicing and when I pick it up again, it’s there! It’s as if my body knows where the balls will land without even looking at them! My reflexes, as in catching something that slipped from my grasp before it hits the floor are amazing now. No doubt the juggling had something to do with it. Fun stuff!

I actually saw a seminar at my job awhile back..I believe it was called ‘How to Think Like DaVinci’, in which the speaker Michael Gelb actually brought tennis balls and got everyone to spend time trying to juggle for this very same reason.

Love it!! My dad (O’Moriarty) the old way, said we had a relative (great-great uncle) in Ireland that was an acrobat!! Johnny the Jumper. Our family was from Kerry, where we supposedly left the same amount of brothers (5) who immigrated to America. One sister who came was Johanna, anyone know of the Irish form of this name? Dad was brilliant.

Merzenich says the amount of difficulty and attention paid is the key to sharpness. Learn Mandarin, or how to spell it!!

I had a college professor who tried to teach me to juggle and I dismissed it as a waste of my tuition dollars. I am kicking myself very hard right now.
