Today, train your brain to keep Sharp

Several large studies have a lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease found in intellectually active people than their inactive peers mentally. And the mental activity of reading can take many forms, such as working puzzles, wood, printing, knitting and games. Some studies have even shown that mentally demanding on the decline, professionals, managers, memory, etc. as less experience than their ageThe members who have less demanding jobs.

In a study of 500 people aged over were asked how often in recreational activities such as dance, chess, card games or crossword puzzles. Over the years, scientists have kept a register of those who developed dementia, loss or mild memory full. They found that people were the most mentally active had a 63 percent lower risk of dementia than those who receive read rarely played board games, orhave similar activities. People who had played most of the best protection, four days a week puzzles in 47 percent lower risk of dementia than previously published crossword puzzle Solver weekly. For each day of the week that people have in their mind is exercised, the researchers found the risk nearly 10 percent lower than dementia.

Other studies show that mental activity earlier in life is useful as well. The rate for the development of Alzheimer's disease wasthree times lower in people who were intellectually active in their forties and fifties, compared to those without. Even mental activity so early decades as one of the best average cognitive function in old age. This means that graduates a lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease as those who have never been on a training school.

Experts believe that a basic puzzle-solving and other forms of mental stimulation to help riskDementia is that people do a "cognitive reserve" that are developed to tolerate more damage from Alzheimer's disease and other disorders of the brain allows. A recent study suggests that is not how much brain you have but how you use it that makes the difference. The researchers tested 19 people with an IQ range from below to above average. Participants performed the memory tasks while their brain activity, researchers measured patterns of functional magnetic resonance imaging.

The scans showed increased activity inthe frontal lobes of people with more intelligence. The same researchers also demonstrated the protective effect of brain education. These results show that more intelligent and educated people use their brains differently than those without these advantages, and this may explain why the maintenance of the mind actively protect against the development of Alzheimer's disease.

Mental exercise can not only keep our brains healthy Ellen, but can also help them grow. NewResearch suggests that the brain can actually grow new cells and ReWire itself, a process called neurogenesis, which are considered impossible in recent decades. Research at Princeton University showed that animals produce new brain cells in the hippocampus, also, that the formations seahorses under the temple. Studies have shown that this neurogenesis can also occur in humans. Neurogenesis could be an important aspect of memory and learning. In animal studies, itfound that enriched environments are associated with increased number of synapses or connections in the brain cell communication centers of memory. And run through their mazes and completion of other tests of memory seem intelligent animals stimulated. These types of studies have led many researchers believe that the exercise routine stimulates mental connections between neurons and lead to new neural connections in the brain. This in turn improves memory and brainPerformance.

Even before this and other irrefutable evidence of the benefits of protecting intellectual exercise, memory formation and storage techniques, there are still skeptics that intellectual activity little or no effect on the odds, who believe in our brain ages. But great even without absolute proof of cause and effect, the risks of staying mentally active are minimal and the potential gains. In practice the words, yet mentally and mental exercisesnot bad. You can also enrich our lives.

Studies of mental exercises have shown that the tasks would require to be an element of the effort. It may be different and can also read each a series of activities, working puzzles, carpentry, painting, knitting, or board games. It is advisable to learn a language or reading a novel or a biography or the learning of sophisticated technology, such as storing memory formation is evidence showing that the "fun factor" keeps usback for more, and this is what you want - to work over time to maintain. Epidemiological studies suggest that we need to develop the habit of regular mental exercise, and that years of operation may be needed to achieve maximum impact.
