When some people get old, they become senile, while others become serene. Serenity or senility is greatly influenced by whether the person is mentally and physically active.
24th October, 2013 (http://www.xldrugstore.com/) : When some people get old, they become senile, while others become serene. Serenity or senility is greatly influenced by whether the person is mentally and physically active. Learning mentally challenging activities like digital photography may keep senior citizens’ minds sharp as the new research suggests.
As the person ages, it is important for him to do something challenging and completely unfamiliar. Thus the activities like solving puzzles, listening to classical music which you are already familiar with may not be as efficient as learning completely new tasks.
Researchers conducted study on 221 adults aged from 60 to 90. They were randomly assigned to participate in particular type of activity 15 hours a week. The duration of this experiment was 3 months. Some participants were assigned to learning completely new skills like digital photography, quilting or both while others solved word puzzles and listened to classical music. The earlier activity required high degree of mental efforts. After three months, participants belonging to first group showed substantial progress in memory while the second group reported none.
Researchers pointed out that merely engaging your brain in some productive activity is not sufficient. The activity should consist of some challenge. Persons need to come out of their comfort zone to make their memory skills sharper. Carrying out these activities for a limited period of time is not sufficient. Continuous and prolonged exposure to these activities is also necessary.
The results provided better understanding of how everyday activities play a significant role in keeping mind sharp. Researchers have put the hypothesis that undertaking challenging mental activities slow down aging process of brain. These activities, if combined with regular exercising and healthy diet will further improve the memory as the researchers have suggested.
This research is extremely important as with well-functioning brain and body, associated are the independence and better quality of life. Researchers are planning to monitor these participants for five years down the road to see if the benefits are long term. This assessment will throw more light on this research results.
