Bilingualism can delay onset of Alzheimer`s symptoms by 5 yrs: Study: "Baycrest's Rotman Research Institute has found that speaking two languages can help delay the onset of Alzheimer's symptoms by as much as five years.
'We are not claiming that bilingualism in any way prevents Alzheimer's or other dementias, but it may contribute to cognitive reserve in the brain which appears to delay the onset of Alzheimer's symptoms for quite some time,' said Dr. Fergus Craik, at the Rotman Research Institute."
