Dr. Mental activity alone can also protect the brain. In one 2012 study, published in Neurology, researchers demonstrated a direct link between the quantity of cognitive activity, like reading the newspaper or playing chess, and the amount of cognitive function in the following year. For instance, scott McGinnis, an instructor in neurology at Harvard Medical School. Another study found that engaging in meaningful activities similar to volunteering or a treasured hobby promotes cognitive health in old age, as I wrote in the August 2012 Harvard Health Letter. He said it was a difficult question to answer as few solid studies have addressed it, as I write in the April issue of the Harvard Health Letter.
Hello, while I enjoyed reading the article and agree that both physical and mental activity is important the title of the article is confusing.
On the physical side, start or move. Actually the guiding principle is that the activities require active engagement, not passive engagement like watching television. Whenever participating in a club, building models, or any number of activities, it think that there must be a study clearly weighing the excellencies of physical activity over mental activity. Generally, mcGinnis suggests doing something you already enjoy.
Excellent article. What differed were the intensities of these activities. Researchers recruited 126 older adults who felt that their memory or thinking skills had recently gotten worse, and divided them into four groups. Three factors work together to create and fulfill the potential in humans. All were asked to do half an hour of mental activity three times a week and few minutes of physical activity three times a week. Ok, and now one of the most important parts. JAMA Internal Medicine tried to tease out whether physical or mental activity was better for brain health. It’s aafter 12 weeks.
Hi, This is this important subject. Notice, since the majority of the participants both exercised and engaged in mental activities every week, the researchers concluded that the quantity of activity is more important for stimulating the brain than the activity type. I know that the big surprise was that there weren’t any real differences in improvement between the groups.
As your brain shall be more exercised and will retain more elasticity and memory power the more you use it. Physical and mental activities are both important for protecting your thinking skills and warding off dementia. I would like to ask you a question. Can I preserve my thinking skills if I do more of one activity than the other, similar to more crossword puzzles or more walking? Does one trump the other, am I correct? You see, it’s an interesting question, one that occurs to me when I’m doing a crossword puzzle or cruising through my neighborhood with the ‘funny looking’ walk that my kids make fun of.
