Routine, repetitive jobs may put you at higher risk of dementia

Your mind is not a muscle, but in some ways, it behaves like one. You can train it and keep it active and that helps keep problems like dementia at bay. According to a new study, that also applies to the work place. If you work your brain hard at your job, that’s good news. But if you’re constantly dealing with repetitive, unchallenging tasks, that may bring a higher risk of cognitive impairment.
