There is good news for the elderly regarding the beauty and power of the brains. Medical studies have already confirmed the power of your brain to regenerate. Many people live out their entire lives using only 20% of the potentials of their brains. When they join the army of the elderly, most people stop using their brains. The beauty of the brain is that you can develop it through proper daily exercise, mentally and physically, and delay the aging process.
The threat of Alzheimer's disease when you start aging is real. Its prevention lies in your willingness to harness the power of your brain through lifestyle modification. Your brain possesses the power of judgment, reasoning and analysis even during your golden years. Its powers get depleted when they are not utilized. What happens is it begins to atrophy and degenerate.
The Alzheimer's Association in the States is pretty convinced that the brain has more capacity to renew and regenerate. They now advise senior people to take care not only of their physical but also their cognitive health. Leisure activities inclusive of mental, physical and social components combined with veggie diets are being recommended to prevent mental retardation. There are now many elder lies who are attending training seminars on how to properly exercise their brains. They are being trained on how to keep their brains agile, alert and active.
In many cases, what was perceived as senility among the aged by people close to them is in reality only a plain loss of interest. What you can do is to device ways and means to present to them some activities they would be interested in. You can try music, reading, blogging, computer games, chess, dancing, fitness exercises, gardening, painting and many others. With regards to diet, you can come up with a menu of vegetarian recipes. It has been studied that those who eat veggie diets regularly preserve their mental abilities than those who do not. When you adapt this system, you may find yourself pretty amazed at the physical improvement and mental alertness of your elderly. That is the beauty and power of the brain!
