Want To Protect Against Alzheimer's..?
Dear Reader,
Ever thought about learning another language? Now you've got a great reason to do it - new research presented at the 2011 meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science finds that if you learn another language you might just protect yourself against memory robbing, life altering, Alzheimer's disease. It appears that the brains of bilingual people work better for a good while longer after they get this disease.
The latest findings come from a group of researchers at Toronto's York University who tested almost 450 patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's, half of whom were bilingual and half who spoke a single language.
All the subjects had about the same level of cognitive impairment, but the team found that bilingual subjects were diagnosed, on average, almost four years later than those who spoke one language. Psychologist Ellen Bialystok points out that this suggests these patients had been able to cope with their condition for that much longer.
By conducting CT scans on the study subjects, the team found something unexpected - among those who were functioning at the same level, bilinguals had more advanced brain deterioration than those who spoke a single language.
So even as the disease was compromising parts of the brain, the bilinguals were somehow able to continue to function in such a way that the impairment wasn't obvious from their behavior, or their ability to function in day-to-day living.
How does this happen?
One theory is that the protective effect of being bilingual may come from brain differences. Or perhaps the increased blood, and therefore oxygen flow, to the brain helps to keep nerve connections healthy. Earlier studies have shown that bilingual people do work a brain network known as the executive control system more than those who only speak a single language do.

Want To Protect Against Alzheimer's..? Continued...
The executive control system in the brain involves portions of the prefrontal
cortex as well as other parts of the brain, and is the basis of our ability to
think in complex ways... to focus attention... to function in uniquely human
ways.
Experts stress that being bilingual isn't a protection from dementia, but rather
may help the brain deal with the ravages of Alzheimer's that much better. Bilingual
brains somehow compensate for the damage from disease.
Bilingual people are thought to exercise these parts of the brain more in order
to keep the two languages from interfering with each other. Sorting through multiple
options for each word, switching back and forth and keeping it all straight are
skills these people build over time, and may give a valuable cognitive benefit
- helping these brains fight back when set upon by a disease like Alzheimer's.
The good news is that you don't have to be bilingual from birth; you can learn
another language later on and still get the benefits to the brain. According
to the U.S. Census Bureau, almost 18% of Americans speak languages besides English
at home and many of these people say they speak English either well or very well.
If you're concerned about your own Alzheimer's risk, consider learning a second
language as an engaging, and effective way to keep your brain sharp, your memories
fresh, and your life your own.
To your good health,

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.
