As you may have noticed The numerous articles on our page about the brain, this is an organ that inspires us a lot of curiosity, but we still have much to discover what happens inside, not only of our mind but in the labyrinth of our neurons.p>
Is senility normal?
How many older people do you know are perfectly lucid, even at eighty or ninety-odd years? Personally, I know a few, but it's not the majority.
If we stick to the normal concept, senility is a pathological state of physical and mental weakening that some elderly people suffer, and that it exceeds the degree of loss of faculties of old age.In other words, and as we can deduce, with age there is loss of faculties, cellular deterioration, cognitive, motor, etc.
It is what we have been said always, is what we see in our families, in societies.When we get old many of our abilities are lost, we no longer walk the same way, the voice sounds cascading and trembling, the pulse is not so firm...well, the youth is over.
But what do you It would seem if it wasn't exactly like that?
The neurobica , a very new training
So important is to exercise the body as the mind, what if? For the body we have gyms, huge parks where to jog, roads that extend infinitely if we wanted to run like Forrest Gump, a lot of marketing where getting fit is essential.
And we agree, very much agreement.The muscles need movement, the human body is designed to move , not to be sitting behind a desk, a desk or in front of a screen.The muscular elasticity is gained with practice, and if you don't do anything, you will just go down slowly, your joints, bones will hurt, it will cost you to bend down to pick up a paper...even if you are only thirty years old.
As you exercise you gain flexibility, resistance, strength, and above all you gain quality of life for the “golden years.” Life expectancy today, on average, reaches eighty or ninety years .Ideally, we reach that age integers, both physically and mentally .
And what is there for our mind? Until relatively recently, it was thought that old age was always accompanied by forgetfulness.Some scientists realized that not everyone was equal to old age and observed that among people with a higher level of education the incidence of diseases such as Alzheimer's or senile dementia was minor.
Today we know that the degree of education has nothing to do, but rather what activates our mind throughout life .
What is it?
It is a technique with which new neural connections are generated to balance and improve learning.How our brain works as a whole , it is necessary to exercise several areas at once, such as attention, creative thinking, language, concentration and memory, and then a “routine” of exercise is designed Personalized icios, just as if we were in a gym and with a coach.
One of the goals of neurobics is to integrate the two cerebral hemispheres so that they work together, since it is already widely demonstrated that when there is learning problems or blockages is because we work with only one.
How to train the brain?
Unusual and new stimuli, actions, activities and thoughts promote the growth of dendrites and neurons in the brain, what is known as neurogenesis that, among other things, is responsible for maintaining brain plasticity.
Changing routines, the way of doing everyday things is a way to train and challenge the brain.Playing chess, crossword puzzles or sudoku, reading and writing, writing summaries, brushing your teeth with the opposite hand we always use, learning a new language are extraordinary forms of brain training.
It is estimated that Starting at age 25, we already begin to lose around 50,000 neurons a day .The good news is that our brain is able to establish neural connections and keep growing...as long as it is stimulated.
Mental gymnastics helps us reduce memory loss, makes us better at making decisions, levels of concentration and agility increase d mental, we react faster, we gain confidence in ourselves and with a better mood.
"Routine" of exercises
-Write, but also comb, brush your teeth or type in the mobile with the opposite hand.
-Do different things, such as eating something you had never tried or watching a movie that you never thought of seeing.The important thing is to create connections and integrate different brain processing systems.
-Dress with your eyes closed.Change the things of place.Walk backwards.
-Solve riddles, problems, puzzles.Change your routines.
-Read aloud to exercise mind, sight, voice and ear.
-Scream at all lungs for a minute...activate your nervous system, allow emotions to flow, reduce stress and increase your breathing capacity What do you think?
All this will keep your mind active and the sooner you do it, the more benefits you will have.
Do you know another mental exercise? We invite you to read about Dr.Ramon y Cajal, the neuron artist.
