Does Prayer Slow Memory Loss?

Liz and I have written posts concerning the role of religion, prayer or belief in God may play in bringing comfort to Alzheimer’s patients and caregivers. 

Recently I read a post, God’s Help Against Alzheimer’s?, on Med Journal Watch.  The writer speculates whether religious rituals and prayer help keep the brain active and memory better.  Or do people with a better memory have a better capacity to pray?

What do you think? Read the complete post and ponder it.

The author mentioned a Canadian study:  “People with Alzheimer’s disease who pray often will less suffer from memory decline than non-religious people.”
