Seniors and older adults general see a decline in their brain ability at some point, and yet, much of this can be avoided by simply getting them to use it more often. It's true what they say; "Use it or lose it" when it comes to the human mind, scientists, researchers, and neurologists have confirmed all this now. And like the anti-drug advertisements say a mind is a terrible thing to waste.
Many older people have complete faculties well into their late 90s and some centenarians over 100 years of age are quite sharp in the mind. But why is it that some lose their marbles and others seem to do fine? Perhaps, it is the types of activities they use their brains for such as doing the daily cross word puzzle suggest some brain scientists, and evidence does confirm this.
A senior that reads a lot, perhaps has joined a book club or discussion group uses their reasoning skills. A senior that does the cross word puzzles, studies interesting stuff on the Internet or does a little writing or journaling also seems to do much better. Even still, the sharpest older minds are those that do all these things, stay active socially, and listen to music too. Just because you or an older member of your family is getting up there in age and experience does not mean they are not with it mentally.
Perhaps, you need to do your own research on this topic, and challenge your mind or help an older member of your own family challenge their brain. Please consider all this.
