For that you begin to enter the age of candlelight, do not be afraid to be elderly (elderly man). Proverb “Old is certain, the healthy choice” may be the spur you to immediately apply healthy lifestyles.

The first research done in Australia reported that the sport regularly can improve memory in elderly people and delay the opportunity for early senility. Conclusion is drawn based on the research of 170 Australians aged 50 years or more, with some type of interference not recall that category senility. Half of the participants are asked to make minor sports such as walking for 50 minutes, three times a week. While the other half of participants do not exercise at all.
Six months ago, researchers conducted a series of memory tests and other tests to the participants, including considering a list of some words and then asked them again. The results are evident that the test results from participants who regularly exercise walking more brilliant than those who do not exercise.
“This study is the first pilot test of how the positive benefits of sports to the improvement of cognitive function of elderly with mild cognitive dysfunction,” such as written in the report published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
The report also mentioned that the benefits of physical activity appear more evident after six months. Even if the stop and then do so, this benefit continues to survive at least until a year later.
The second research more unique because more is done to the octogenarian, namely, the elderly aged 80 years or more. In conclusion, the information age (elderly) who perform activities of a foot or more hours per day to last longer and lower-risk or infected with various serious diseases than those who rarely move.
In a study published by the Elsevier group in the Dutch journal Preventive Medicine, the researchers involved 248 participants of the population living in the Italian mountain environment. Their age average is 86 years old.
During two years of research, there were 12 percent of participants who die are elderly who rarely do sports or only a little physical activity.
In addition, the trend of depression, cognitive disturbances, heart disturbances, osteoarthritis and high blood pressure also found in the more elderly who are lazy physical than they are diligent exercise walking.
Nevertheless, physical exercise for elderly can not be generalized. This means that the individual, depending on the level of health and fitness elderly are concerned. To suggest that medical records are withdrawn.
With the explosion of the elderly population in the world, the WHO estimates about 37 million of the world’s population currently live with the disruption dementia, especially dementia Alzheimer’s disease.
The estimated amount will continue to increase rapidly to 20 years. That is why medical experts and a number of researchers continue to work to find a way of delaying senility attacks and improve the quality of life of elderly overall.
