Brain fog or fair? Decoding cognitive changes

Aging was in my mind recently. It may be associated with the seventy -year round. However, it is also a topic that has been great for me since my early years. This may be the result of raising in a three -generation immigrant family. I often heard my father and Adi complain of their painful bodies. It is interesting that one of my first papers at the university was called “How to advance safely”, written as an expert in this topic.

Compared to others, I feel that the elderly in my family are all safe. My grandfather died in eighty -three during surgery to repair the aortic vascular expansion, and on the day before his death, swimming in the Atlantic Ocean. My mother will celebrate her ninety -fifth birthday next month, and although she is in a home care house, on a wheelchair and on oxygen, she told me that she is still not ready to die.

Two months ago, I released a book, published, called Women in Golden: California poets on 60 and beyond. I am surprised by the diversity of the presentations and topics that were discussed by the 175 chosen poets. Some poems were nostalgia, some of which were written with a Feeling humorOthers discuss the emotional, physical and psychological aspects of aging. The general public message was to live at the present time, enjoy every day as if it were the last, transplantation, and honor your life wisdom.

It is time to take the idea seriously that the residents are progressing and needing preparation. According to the World Health Organization (2024), by 2030, one in every six people will be more than sixty years, and about 14 percent of those over the age of sixty will have mental health disorder, which will definitely be linked to changes perception.

Changes in perception

Over their life, many people notice memory Changes. Once you reach middle age, and after that, many of us are aware of because we are slowly and psychologically slowing. We may forget, and when we remember, it may take longer to access information.

Many of us notice and Fearful The arrival of memory loss. It may be simple as going to the kitchen and forgetting what we went there. Forgetting is normal at any age, but it becomes more common with our age. According to the National Institute of Agency (2023), there is a difference between the natural forgetfulness of regular aging and Difference. It is important to note that dementia is not a natural part of aging. For example, it is normal to make a bad decision from time to time or forget the week and remember it later, sometimes lose things, or forget the word or name of a person. However, it’s time to see your internal specialist if you lose in places you know well, you are confused when you try to remember the details of people and places, or lose time. You may need to see your doctor if people mention that you are asking the same question over and over again, or they say that you do not take care of yourself as you used to. None of these may be more serious signs Cognitive retreat Who needs medical attention.

Study memory loss

With population aging and children’s children now in their upper years, there were more and more studies on the effects of the aging process. One study, for example, (EKSTROM, others, 2024), examined who is more likely to lose memory. They found an interesting relationship between low memory loss and those who have more years than official education. In other words, one continues education Beyond high school seems to delay the emergence of cognitive decline. Researchers suggest that this may have to do with the growing memory capacity. Interestingly, they have also identified that those who have fast walking speed have a slower cognitive decrease.

The researchers also found that women were more likely than men in cross memory, or the type of memory that includes calling events, experiences and related contexts. This can be described as a kind of time travel or the ability to return yourself in a position as if you actually return it.

Cognitive maintenance

While cognitive maintenance is recommended at any age, it should never last in the upper years. This can be done by keeping your mind active by reading, doing puzzles, and communicating with others. Diabetes and depression In some cases, it was linked to the cognitive decline, so it is good to ensure that these conditions are determined and treated early.

Another study (KRENDL, others, 2024) showed that socialization reduces the rate of cognitive decline in the elderly. In particular, the researchers found that communication with uncommon social networks every day is linked to a higher social and cognitive function.

Chapter Supreme

Although healthy aging is characterized by something deep from accepting the aging process, it can also be considered a wonderful new chapter to arrest him as we gather and think about the threads of our lives. While mental and physical activity is important to reduce the chances of memory loss and/or mental health problems, early detection of problems is the key to treatment.

There are behaviors and attitudes that contribute to aging well, such as maintaining a positive and emotional position Steadfastness. When the individual adopts healthy behaviors and characteristics in their aging, his wonderful energy exceeds those who come into contact with them, and who in turn want to spend more time communicating with them. These relationships and interactions are great ways to help mitigate Feeling lonely.

While maintaining a strong feeling of goal is necessary throughout life, it is especially important in the upper years. The presence of a cause for waking up in the morning is invaluable, but sometimes it is very difficult, especially for those who live alone. The elderly does not come with the book of instructions, but the ongoing efforts to challenge ourselves, learn more about our strengths and weakness consciousness One of the typical challenges with our age can help us to move better in this final chapter of life.
