Sharper Minds

Many of us notice that we’re not as mentally sharp as we used to be. Here are a few recent research findings on how you can make lifestyle decisions that improve your acuity. The more you have tried to learn, the better you’ll be at mental sit-ups as you age. The challenge of tackling a new skill or new information is likely to be more beneficial than putting together the same jigsaw puzzle over and over again. Stress takes a toll on the brain by washing harmful chemicals over the hippocampus and other brain areas involved in memory. Living a balanced lifestyle and pursuing relaxing activities such as yoga, socializing, and crafting may delay memory impairment by reducing stress. Growing evidence suggests a caffeine habit may protect the brain. Two to four perk-me-ups a day may stave off normal cognitive decline and decrease Alzheimer’s by 30-60%. It’s unclear whether the benefits come from caffeine or antioxidants found in coffee and tea, but it’ worth imbibing. When we rest and dream, memories are sifted through, some discarded, others consolidated and saved. When we don’t sleep, proteins build up on synapses, possibly making it hard to think and learn new things. Chronically sleeping poorly is linked to cognitive decline. Scientists are starting to think that regular aerobic exercise may be the single most important thing you can do for the long-term health of your brain. While the heart and lungs respond loudly to a sprint on the treadmill, the brain is quietly getting fitter with each step, too. For mental fitness, aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity every other day. ...read more

Brain Games Help Driving

It is so hard when the time comes to give up the keys to the car. Without convenient transportation, it's easy to find ourselves socially isolated, lonelier, and perhaps undernourished because it becomes cumbersome to buy groceries and unprocessed foods. According to an article in the Los Angeles Times, a new study suggests that the answer to staying sharp enough to keep the keys might be "brain training." In this study, older drivers who completed 10 sessions of brain training had about half as many motor-vehicle collisions in which they were at fault than those who had no training. The study led by scientists from the University of Alabama, Johns Hopkins University, Indiana University, Penn State and the University of South Florida suggests that the right kind of brain training can produce cognitive improvements that transfer to real-world skills. Amazingly enough, the effects of the computer-based brain training lasted at least six years. The scientists involved reviewed the study participants' driving records over a six-year period and found that those who had classes in reasoning and problem-solving skills had half as many at-fault car crashes as the control group. Those who took classes in memory training did no better than the control group. "Considering the importance of driving mobility and the cost of crashes, cognitive training has great potential to sustain independence and quality of life in older adults," said Jerri Edwards, associate professor of Aging Studies at the University of South Florida, and co-author of the paper. "But importantly, this study provides further evidence that the right kind of brain training program can generalize to improve real-world activities among older adults." The speed-of-processing training program used in the study is available to consumers as part of the DriveSharp and InSight brain-fitness programs.
