Social activity helps not to age

Older people, who are physically, mentally and socially active, aging more slowly, without having to deal with serious health problems, state the scientists from different areas of the report in the journal Trends in Cognitive Sciences.

Although, for example, Some memory loss is almost inevitable visit of any person to the extent of the aging process, it is the deterioration of, in practice, varies widely among different people.

People, who not only practice a healthy lifestyle, but also actively developing, achieving any purpose, learn much more quickly. For example, master tablet laptop or a pensioner can many times faster than.

Studies of human brain scanning results showed such data: brains of elderly people without evidence of memory problems similar to the brains of young people to a large extent, than in the brains of elderly people with various problems.

Therefore, initially to avoid the change is much easier, than to try to regain health, or to correct the problem have appeared, says Professor Lars Nyberg of the University of Umea. Course, Some of the brain deteriorate and age faster than others (usually the process starts in 30-40 years, but much depends on lifestyle, There are examples of people in 60 years, giving a head start for young), and some even work better with age.

Most pensioners have any problems with the development of computer technology. Perhaps the fact, that many in this age unlearn experiment, therefore, working on the computer mostly in the area is already known, with, not gaining the skills and knowledge from other areas. The network can be found on courses, computer education, for example, there are courses, which will help absorb the laptop, Netbook, Samsung tablet.

Although the genes, of course, here play a role (mainly in the aging brain), But now scientists have proved, that active social interaction (goals in life, for example), especially new contacts to interesting people, also have a significant impact on pensioners.

Interaction and stimulates the action of the active neurochemical connections in the human brain. But the almost total social isolation, the same circle of friends throughout the years, on the contrary, accelerates the aging brain. The worst option - this time, conducted by a person alone in front of the TV, said Meddeyli.
