SUPERCHARGE
YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM & BEAT ANY DISEASE ---just by playing
bridge!
SAN
FRANCISCO-- Playing bridge supercharges your immune system,
helping you to prevent or cure the world's deadliest diseases
--even AIDS, heart diseases, Alzheimer's and cancer!
That's the finding of a fascinating new study out of the University
of California, Berkeley. Professor Marian Diamond, who presented
the research to the Society for Neuroscience in New Orleans,
said her study could be the first evidence that the so-called
"dorsolateral cortex" -- the part of the brain stimulated
by playing bridge-- can preserve or improve health.
"Contract
bridge was ideal for what we were after," Professor Diamond
said. "Bridge players plan ahead, use memory, deal with
sequencing and perform other higher order functions with which
the dorsolateral cortex is involved."
Researchers found that subjects' white cell count increased
after playing bridge for an hour and a half. White cells are
known to fight diseases and keep the body well.
