Psychological Articles Resolving Elderly Problems for Baby Boomers
Every muscle in our body needs exercise as exercise allows our bodies to work longer and to fuller potential. Similarly, it is important to exercise and refresh the energies of our brains. Some common elderly problems the baby boomer generation suffers from are depression and Alzheimer. By exercising the brain baby boomers can keep these problems at bay. Psychological articles suggest eight ways to re-invigorate the brain:
1. Ask Why? Questioning the reason behind things is a healthy exercise for the brain. As we move farther into adulthood we suppress questioning, which can restrict our brain power. Therefore let’s make our brains challenged and get curiosity percolating by asking why for at least 10 minutes a day.
2. Laugh. Laughter releases endorphins and other positive chemicals into our system and makes us feel great by relieving us of stress, another one in the list of elderly problems. Laughing is great medicine to improve brain health.
3. Remember. Recalling things can serve as a brain energizer; as it provides new solutions to problems, as well as creating positive emotional states as one remembers moments from past history. Therefore, it is advised that you take down your picture albums and frequently sit and reminisce about past joys.
4. Do a puzzle. Working on puzzles keeps the brain active and refreshed. It serves as a great brain exercise and is strongly recommended for brain re-energizing. Additionally, online optical illusions are a great way of keeping the brain alert and beating elderly problems facing the boomer generation.
5. Play. Playing different types of games refreshes mood and spirit and leaves a positive impact on brain energy by providing an opportunity to think logically and strategically. Listen up Baby Boomers! We need to remember to play and have fun.
6. Learn new things. Learning new information increases brain energy. Try learning something new everyday, it can be a certain work topic, a word or some leisure activity teaching, but learn, grow, learn. It can be as simple as looking up and learning one new vocabulary word per day as it helps the brain to think in new ways, hence bringing new ideas to the mind and energizing it.
7. Write. Writing journal entries or blogging is terrific brain energy. It helps generate new ideas and encourages the mind to be more creative. Thinking up new ways to use words in varying patterns is great brain fuel and truly expands brain’s capacity. Psychological articles also advise that it is doubly effective if you write with the purpose of having someone read your work. So Baby Boomers, how about writing stories for your grandchildren to read or writing newsletters, or journaling, or one easy way to start is to write your story or share your dreams at Boomer Yearbook, the website for elderly problems facing the boomer generation.
8. Exercise. Exercise brings more blood flow to the brain, resulting in more oxygen which ensures a healthy and beautiful brain. Oxygenated brains are also capable of fueling fresh and new ideas; and of course exercise is not only great for the brain but also for combating elderly problems such as osteoporosis and high cholesterol levels. Exercise possibilities are limitless, such as dancing, swimming or just a walk around the block with your dog.
