17 Dec. 2023 – Dr. Teerawat Hemajutha, Director of the Emerging Disease Health Science Center Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn University posted on Facebook regarding “When you’re 80 and over, what do you do to have a brain like you’re 50?” stating that whoever said old age must have a bad brain. People everywhere It is often accepted that as people get older, their memory begins to shrink or they can’t remember some things. And when I forget, sometimes I can figure it out. In conclusion, it is normal for everyone to have dementia and dementia occurs with age.
But in reality What seems or is thought to be normal is actually abnormal. Or it is a disease which can occur for many reasons, especially a degenerative disease of the brain such as Alzheimer’s, or it occurs from a general blockage of the blood vessels or one that is scattered in important locations. Or there are many causes together. But at the same time, it has been noticed that elderly people aged 80 and above have a memory as bright as people who are less than 30 years old, and are called “superagers” or bright-brained or elderly people. But the brain is still super.
These are the origins of a large-scale study by the Institute of Neuroscience. This is a Spanish study in collaboration with German and Finnish institutions and published in the Lancet Healthy Longev journal, July 2023.
However, there is a choice of Saw, clear brain or super brain. From the population in the Vellecas project and with long-term follow-up By recruiting volunteers starting between October 10, 2011 and January 14, 2014, age 79.5 years or older.
It assessed memory status (delayed verbal episodic memory score) using the Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test and with three non-memory tests (the 15-item version of the Boston Naming Test, the Digit Symbol Substitution Test, and the Animal Fluency Test) In this regard, the clear brain specialist must have specific test results. Is at the level of people aged 50 to 56 years or has a higher score and must receive a score of Is at the same level or higher for people of the same age and level of education
Follow-up is between five and six years since study entry.
At the end of the study, there were 64 people with clear brains, with an average age of 81.9 years, 59% women and 41% men, and 55 people with normal brains, with an average age of 82.4 years, of whom 64% were women and 36% were men.
Saw clear brain from evaluating 89 indicators related to General credentials Lifestyle behaviors, lifestyles, and characteristics of each person were found to
1-There is constant body movement. (This doesn’t mean you have to exercise endlessly.) Do physical activities, garden, water the plants, walk around.
2- Have excellent mental health, not obsessed with worry, depression, or depression, even when alone. Because your life partner has passed away or is divorced I don’t care who says it’s bad. (Because people who think badly and are stressed out, the brain will deteriorate on its own. This is what the doctor said.)
3- Musical instruments are played whether amateur or professional. Since middle age, it’s been going on forever (I’m good at playing or not. It’s not specified. I hope you’ll be happy. The doctor said it himself.)
It does not depend on economic status. Educational height Even physical diseases
In addition, these bright lights were also found from the examination. detailed brain computer with atrophy and withering The cerebral cortex in various locations is slower than normal, and there is also slow atrophy in the inner temporal lobe that is involved with memory. and the center of the brain Related to vigorous movement, not sluggishness. And all of these things should be used as strategies. If you are active, have physical activity, don’t waste time in your daily life, walk, you will have good mental health. not worried depressed Happy mood, music, listening to music, until learning to play a musical instrument. or already playing from middle age Improves memory and makes your brain age 30 years younger.
Another strategy, in the journal frontiers Neuroscience, July 2023, people aged 60 to 85, in good physical health and with memory assessed. By smelling an odorant diffuser for 2 hours per night, including scents such as rose, orange, eucalyptus, lemon, peppermint, rosemary, lavender.
After six months, the examination revealed that memory had improved by 226% and this was confirmed by the evaluation. efficiency of nerve fibers It was found that there is a connection between the frontal lobes. The orbitofronatal cortex connects to the temporal lobe via the uncinate fasciculus.
However, we must not forget that the type of food, vegetables, fruits, longan, nuts, grains, refrain from reducing meat, eat fish, reduce starch, your body and brain will be even brighter. The nature of food is life-saving food and the brain. If the body is good, it will also result in protecting the brain.
This is because inflammatory substances will not be created from the intestines if there are bad microorganisms from eating “life-destroying food,” not life-saving food. Eating land meat, flour, and desserts will cause the production of inflammatory substances from bad microorganisms causing the intestinal lining wall to leak Inflammation flows throughout the body. Abnormalities of blood vessels in the body and blood vessels in the brain occur. which will accelerate the stimulation and cause inflammation “Second round” in the brain and stimulates the creation of twisted toxic proteins in the brain without being able to completely unravel or drive away
and causing brain cells to become abnormal in sequence Metabolically, it exceeds the level that can be tolerated. This causes an initial change in brain function and continues to affect the structure of brain cells until permanent damage (Micro and Macrocellular damage) occurs.
It is possible that lifestyle strategies like the above can actually help prevent pathology or damage that occurs in the brain. Because the atrophy has clearly slowed down. But it’s possible. that will be optimized In the communication and transmission of information between brain cells in the same area and in different areas throughout the brain through nerve fibers, such as when smelling a volatile aroma Sleeping makes you happy, but it also helps. Even if we exclude the issue of having special human genes, all the information up until now still confirms that even if you are born with a bad fate, But we can still overcome.
And this is important. of conduct Even though there is brain damage, the outside still looks good (resilience) until it is slowed down to prevent brain damage and the paradigm of energy use is adjusted to be in the form of autophagy, which is to use energy economically when garbage and recycling. there Good health and a clear brain depend on yourself. You have to invest. Don’t think that there are any shortcuts. Having money overflowing in the sky can’t help you.
