Mental Attitude:
Mental Fitness
A
study on the effect of
formal mental training on elderly volunteers, with an average age of 73
at the
start of the study, showed the brain appears to benefit from regular
exercise,
even as we age. After 5 years of
training, a positive effect was seen when evaluating the subjects’
ability to
do the activities of daily living. The
training involved using things like mnemonics, acronyms and rhymes to
aid
memory; however, the author of the study believes other mental
exercises such
as doing Sudoku puzzles, would be effective as well, especially if done
regularly. The research is being hailed
as showing promise as a non-drug treatment to combat mental decline
associated
with aging. JAMA, Dec 2006

begin to: lose calcium, form joint adhesions and compress.
If not addressed, after 8 weeks, the changes
can be irreversible. Craig Liebenson, DC
