The surprise has arrived!
The director of the George Washington University School of Medicine maintains that the brain of an elderly person is much more practical than is commonly believed. At this age, the interaction of the left and right hemispheres of the brain becomes harmonious, which expands our creative possibilities. That is why among people over the age of 60 you can find many personalities who have just started their creative activities.
Of course, the brain is no longer as fast as it was in youth. However, it gains in flexibility. Therefore, with age, we are more likely to make the right decisions and less exposed to negative emotions. The peak of human intellectual activity occurs around the age of 70, when the brain begins to work in full force.
Over time, the amount of myelin in the brain increases, a substance that facilitates the rapid passage of signals between neurons. Due to this, intellectual abilities increase by 300% compared to the average.
Also interesting is the fact that after 60 years a person can use 2 hemispheres at the same time. This allows you to solve much more complex problems.
Professor Monchi Uri, from the University of Montreal, believes that the elderly brain chooses the path that consumes less energy, eliminates the unnecessary and leaves only the right options to solve the problem. A study was conducted in which different age groups participated. The young people were very confused while passing the tests, while those over 60 years old made the right decisions.
Now, let's look at the characteristics of the brain between the ages of 60 and 80. They are really pink.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BRAIN OF AN OLDER PERSON.
1. The neurons of the brain do not die, as everyone around you says. The connections between them simply disappear if one does not engage in mental work.
2. Distraction and forgetfulness arise due to an overabundance of information. Therefore, you do not need to focus your whole life on unnecessary trifles.
3. From the age of 60, a person when making decisions does not use only one hemisphere of the brain, like young people, but both.
4. Conclusion: if a person leads a healthy lifestyle, is mobile, has viable physical activity and is fully mentally active, intellectual abilities DO NOT decline with age, they simply GROW, reaching a peak at the age of 80-90 years.
HEALTHY TIPS:
1) Don't be afraid of old age.
2) Strive to develop intellectually. 3) Learn new crafts, make music, learn to play musical instruments, paint pictures! Dance!
4) Take an interest in life, meet and communicate with friends, make plans for the future, travel as best you can.
5) Don't forget to go to shops, cafes, shows.
6) Don't shut up alone, it's destructive for anyone.
7) Be positive, always live with the thought: following: "all good things are still ahead of me!"

I just did. Tks. This should turn more than a few preconceived mantras upside down in some families, I'm sure.

AND...on another note, we are still viable humans responding to these awesome brains. Not to carry my own flag and brag, because I absolutely had no choice. I am one of the oldest members here and yes, I do pass over a lot of the financial tutoring because I just do not comprehend it. BUT...I was put in the position to sit in the emergency room with my husband after I had dodged the pandemic until this year. Within days, I was in an ambulance headed back to that same hospital, totally out of my mind with the virus. In the garage entrance for ambulances, my brain fought back and my physical body did a somersault off the gurney and onto the cement below. I landed on my head folding my neck underneath me and I was 'done for'. It was explained to me later that my heart 'did a little dance and then stopped'. But at 76 years old, my marvelous brain gathered all of its' powers together to jump start this elderly body. As it turned out, I had pneumonia as well as 'the dreaded virus' and my heart stopped and restarted itself; all on the same night. I spend three weeks in two separate hospitals, one hospital to help with the viral infections and the next hospital because it was the best 'heart' hospital in the state. This has been a struggle, don't get me wrong; but bare in mind that my brain has been running this show for every minute and every second since 1946. Every night before I go to sleep, I visualize myself receiving healing energy and light from above, down through my brain and spiraling through my entire body. BRAINS!! Our spiritual and magical connections to life!!
I know that WSOMN members have stories of their own about their miraculous brains. Let's hear them!!
