Perhaps specific types of thinking cause somewhat sustained brain activity during waking hours that mitigates adverse physical changes leading to Alzheimer’s.
The opposite of this is how sleep and unconsciousness allows the brain to perform cerebrospinal fluid transfer based maintenance routines via the glymphatic system.
The ones that do stopped being taxi drivers.

Taxi driver also live shorter lives than average, which would fit with lower levels of alzheimers. But interesting link nonetheless.
Can video games provide similar benefits?
I’m sure Crazy Taxi provides the same benefits! :)
