What To Do To Keep Your Mind Sharp As You AgeDear Reader,
Science spends a lot of time investigating what causes mental
decline as we age, and not much on what things might prevent
it.
Work appearing in the June 9, 2009 issue of Neurology is
some of the first to look what factors might help you hold
on to your mental function.
The exciting new study found older people who retained their
cognitive function had a unique profile.
They had at least
a high school education and 9th grade literacy level. They
exercised moderately (or vigorously if they were in shape)
at least once a week and they didn't smoke or live alone
or if they did they were also still active outside the home.
The work involved examining 2,500 subjects, both men and women
aged 70 to 79 who were living in either in Memphis, TN or Pittsburgh,
PA and taking part in the Health, Aging and Body Composition
study. The cognitive skills of the subjects were tested at
the beginning of the eight year study, and then again in years
3, 5 and 8.
As the researchers expected, many of the participants showed
cognitive decline as the study progressed - about 53% had minor
cognitive decline and 16% experienced major cognitive decline.
About 30% of the subjects showed no cognitive decline. Unexpectedly,
a few had even improved their scores.
The researchers wondered what made the difference in those
who experienced cognitive decline compared to the subjects
who didn't.
The answers were quite eye opening.
Exercisers
who did either light or vigorous workouts once a week were
30% more likely to hold on to cognitive function than those
who didn't workout.
Education also played a part. Those who had a high school
education were almost three times as likely to retain function
than those who hadn't graduated from high school. Literacy
levels, of 9th grade or better, made a subject nearly five
times as likely to avoid decline as those with lower levels
of literacy.
Nonsmokers were twice as likely to stay sharp. Seniors who
continue to work (or volunteer) as well as those who didn't
live alone were 24% more likely to hold on to cognitive functioning.
There was no effect on cognitive skills linked to conditions
like diabetes or high blood pressure.
Many people think becoming senile as you age is unavoidable
and while one in four older adults experiences some form of
cognitive decline this isn't a part of healthy aging.
What
this work is telling us is that you can keep your mind sharp
as you age but you need to plan now to do so.

What To Do To Keep Your Mind Sharp As You Age continued...
It's important to challenge your brain - give it a workout by taking up different
things, enjoying hobbies and pursuing interests.
There's no one mental exercise that's shown itself so much better than any
other - anything that has your mind working is a good choice.
But that's not all you should be doing.
Being mentally active works best when you're living well - eating healthy,
being active as much as you can, avoiding tobacco and other unhealthy substances
while keeping those appointments for regular medical checkups and screenings.
"The take-home message from the study is, you can maintain your cognitive
function in late life," explains study author Alexandra Fiocco, a postdoctoral
fellow at the University of California, San Francisco.
"People are afraid they will experience cognitive decline as they age.
But not everyone declines."
In fact, this work raises the very real possibility that cognitive decline
might even be preventable.
To your good health,

P.S: Nike...Ebay...Amazon and Walmart pay for your opinion
Fortune 500 companies make their money by people like you and I buying their
products.
But how do they know what we want to buy? Easy they pay to find out the products
we like, where we shop and what we buy.
In a nutshell big businesses need people to tell them what products to make.
People like Michelle McAllister - a 34 year old full-time mother of two. Michelle
and many others help "big business" make millions, although they haven't
got any marketing or sales experience.
In fact Michelle knows absolutely nothing about business, but she does know what
she likes...
And that's exactly the information these companies are after and will pay you
for.
