The smell of incense, the sound of specific hymns, or the tactile experience of holiday baking can trigger &#8220;reminiscence therapy.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\"><strong>Science:<\/strong> A study published in Alzheimer\u2019s &amp; Dementia found that seniors who regularly engage in social and community activities, including religious services, developed memory impairments an average of <strong>five years later<\/strong> than those who were less active <strong>(Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alzinfo.org\/articles\/prevention\/social-activities-can-help-keep-the-brain-young\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alzheimer\u2019s Info<\/a>)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"border-top-color:var(--wp--preset--color--white);border-top-width:15px;border-bottom-color:var(--wp--preset--color--white);border-bottom-width:15px;font-size:18px\"><strong>3.
