Learning to Speak Alzheimer's: A Groundbreaking Approach for Everyone Dealing with the Disease
By
Joanne Koenig CosteElderly people who maintain an active social life may be giving themselves some of the best therapy available when it comes to keeping their minds sharp and functioning well. So says a report in the May 29, 2008 edition of the American Journal of Public Health.

The elderly who had significant social contact with friends, family members, and spouses showed slower decline in memory than their more isolated peers. Social interaction may help keep older minds agile by keeping them engaged and presented with new challenges ... things to think and talk about, problems to solve, interests to pursue. Find more details in the HealthDay article here: Active Social Life Helps Keep Aging Mind Sharp

Not surprisingly, the same issue of the journal published a Finnish report showing that elderly people who have recently lost a spouse are significantly more apt to need long-term institutional care, especially in the first month following the spouse's death.

This risk lessens as time goes on, suggesting that emotional recovery over time does help restore resilience, and that feelings of shock, despair and anxiety do diminish. Still, grief contributes to such physical distress as increased susceptibility to disease, loss of appetite, loss of concentration and cognitive functions, fatigue, confusion and insomnia.

Both studies suggest that staying socially engaged ... and getting back into life following the death of a partner ... are essential elements in staying mentally alert and maintaining an independent lifestyle for those willing to take steps to help themselves live a full life in their later years. Family and friends can certainly help, too!
