Brain White Matter

My parents were in their first fifties when I turned 22 and the abyss that separated we seemed insurmountable. My father had his hat and his attaches on everywhere it is alledae”maame when it mowed the lawn. My mother kept to the house most of the time and we warned the girls that no man would marry a woman a chestnut does by the sun. I wondered if their brains had turned to the end.

Now I look at my son and my squawk of 22 years to the abyss that yawns between we. With his mp3 did a buckle of a permanent manner on his neck, its too ample pants and cuffed, it seems of a foreigner of a distant star. I have without any doubts the according to it, my brain went to the end.

Nevertheless big as these differences seem, the research suggests that there is the very small difference in the capacity between one of 50 years and a brain of 25 years. The post myth 40 declines of brain is just that -a myth. According to Gray Dan in "The Strength Etonnant of the Brain Aging," (Jan of Time 16/2006) the neurologists and the psychologists conclude that "the brain to the ripe age -a period defined more and more as the years 35-65 and even beyondae”is a lot more elastic, a lot more supple one than never imports that went counts". Far to decline, the brain of 50 years can reorganize and can reinforce its neuronal networks in response to the new stimuli and the new experiences. The basic network for the neuronal growth that was set up in our first childhood continues to develop and increase even when we age and the structural capacity for this growth is limitless. In the gasoline, the brain is as the toileae”il there has not any end to his capacity of memory or to the functional capacity.

The gray reports in particular on 2 aspects of activity of brain that are living and well in the 50 + the group.

The one is the increase of white question in the region of prefrontal of the brain, that is composed from sheathed of cells of nerve with myelinae”la sticks neuronal that does the possible connections. Myelin is the Grandiose Central train Station of emotional connections and intellectuellesae”le sits of our intelligence and our humanity. Provided that we maintain a high level of activity of brain in our average age, we can increase the "myelination" brain.

A second aspect is the tendency of the two hemispheres of the brain to work together. This is another reason why the 50 + the brain can surpass often its younger counterparts. A study to the Center of Baycrest for the Cares To The Persons Agedes found that as the people age, their capacity to set up itself on an activity in a part of the decreases of brain, that explains why the oldest people easily are "misled". Nevertheless this distraction suggests that the different sectors of the brain work simultaneously that explains why the oldest people often can attain the highest processes of reasoning (as the intuition) while using the two hemispheres at the same time.

As no other muscle, the brain can work only to his capacity maximum when it uniformly is used. Which are the steps that we can take to guarantee a fort and healthy brain in our later years?

1. to follow activities of leisure. Read books and magazines. Knit with the friends, to take a walk, plays bridge. The leisure activities can reduce the risk or delay the insanity beginning. A study implying close to 1800 people in top to age 65 showed that those that were implied with the leisure activities had 38% less than risks insanity in the process of development.

2. to read and write Poetry. In the Etude celebrates Religious, the researchers concluded that the sisters that had brains more of the rubber bands later in life were the a that had tendency to use words multi-syllabiques and the richer vocabulary in their newspaper entries. Those that developed insanity tended to use the simple words and monosyllabiques. The sisters with the more elastic brains showed also stronger "idea density" in their inquiring edcritureae”quels defined as the average number of expressed ideas in every grouping of 10 words. Idea density reflects the brain capacity to integrate the memory, the language, the thought and the emotion in a word complex. The prose of writing or the poetry that creates of the put to bed direction in a metaphor is the better example of density of idea. It is sensible that writes usually, writing in particular poetry, can supercharge your brain.

3. many and many times, the studies confirm the relation between the exercise and a healthy brain. A recent study shows to this exercise creates significant anatomical differences in the sectors of gray and white question of the brain. The ageing provokes one to shrink of these sectors that equals closely declines in the cognitive execution. Nevertheless, health cardio-vasculaire by the exercise slows down in fact this decline.

4. to eat a healthy system. Food Eviter that are rich in red fatty meats and the big dairy entire products that contributes to the high levels of cholesterol in the brain; the cholesterol promotes the production of a toxic protein that attacks myelin and the cuts down below the neuronal connections in the brain, leaving a plate track that impede the brain function. Eat grains and of the leguminous entire one as these are rich in the lecithin. Eat fish, high in the omega 3 fatty acids (the fatty vouchers) that has property anti-arsonists that can prevent the plate formation in the brain. Have 5-7 portions of fruit and the vegetables for their advantages anti- powerful oxidizers. At last the consumption of increase of Protein of Soja, rich in phytonutrients and you give all the advantages of protein without the fatty one.

5. to learn from new things and take risks. The proof shows that learning from new activities (beginning a new project, a hobby, a matters or dares) is exactly what is necessary to prevent the loss of myelin in the brain. The brain is in plastic that that means that the this is able regeneration when stimulated by the new activities. New every sensations or the experience cut a new neuronal way in the brain. The newspapers of Darwin are filled with the bag bottoms; these were risks it took and never stopped taking until the time became ripe for his apparition. The better manner to nourish your brain is to cultivate a vision, then to approach your vision of the different angles without abandoning the way, taking of new bends when the last the one does not work for you, always to want to take more complete risk, in does to count to do the errors not only because errors use the guides more significant but because the success that comes finally Numbers.

6. Without forgettingae”l' love and appreciates that you have. Etre recognizing for the abundance that you were blessed with and gives generous to those lss can serve you. A positive direction of goal and
