>I'm sure a person who practises Yoga and lead an active life won't have to face dementia at all.
I have to disagree with you but this statement is a little inaccurate. I am not denying that exercise and physical activities help the brain and body and reduce the risk of getting dementia (I somewhere read in a paper that being physically active reduces the risk up to 30-35% for dementia). But I don't think that people don't have to face dementia at all, as no matter what, if you have certain conditions like diabetes, chronic inflammation, even depression, etc., and of course age. It would be much better if you had said it reduces the risk to a certain level. Thanks.
However there are many studies in modern times that would verify my statement but I'd like to go with my personal experience on it.
You know I'm from India and it's a land of Yogis who have committed their lives to Yoga. I've never met an yogi, old or young, having any sort of lack of memory or the diseases you mentioned above. It's an evidence in itself how much Yoga is helpful to eradicate dementia or memory loss. I'd suggest you to try it and see by yourself.
Here's one article that supports Yoga
