"Senile", "senile", "set off in my old age ..." We often hear it. This nobody want. Themselves or their parents. But what to do? Years a go! They take their... In this article - easy way to keep a clear mind to old age. And no, it's not a tablet or even crosswords.
In the photo - Viktor Korchnoi. His 80th birthday, he meets with an international rating of 2553. It's a lot.
I've been watching the veteran chess players in real life. Most - adequate, optimistic and keep a sober mind to old age. Yes, they look younger than their years!
You guessed it, a way to "eternal youth" of the brain I suggest - CHESS!
Prevention of dementia
Elderly people who load up to age your brain longer retain mental clarity. It is easy to explain.
Especially now, when we know that nerve cells can be restored at any age.
Crossword, quiz - it's all good, but ...
It is a pity that it is not listed the top most mind-numbing classes. Although there is clear - view telemusoroprovoda.
Let me give a couple of quotes.
Working head, you create new neural connections and stimulate your body to produce new nerve cells to replace damaged cell disease... Perhaps it is not far off the day when doctors will prescribe the regular practice of chess on a par with proper nutrition and physical exercises.
brain training can give a serious positive effect.
For centuries we have been told that nerve cells do not regenerate, but it turns out it is not.
When the last time you turn on your brain to the full?
Sometimes you go out after the game all the lather. The brain is boiling! Already pulsing - TUK-TUK-TUK.
Feel the blood drove - be healthy! Neural connections spawn!
No job, even the most creative, does not give a pumping!
To load your brain... different!
Why chess?
They are loaded with different types of brain activity, see:
- Planning and identification of patterns
- Improvisation
- Memory
Chess - it's not just an improvisation, but memorization. We must remember certain rules, positions, openings, and so on.
- The sense of time
Time moves. How many moves it takes to carry out a particular plan? Whose pawn queens will break faster and so on. Plus the time in seconds. Play chess clock. That such:
- Calculations and visualization
When calculating you do not move the pieces on the board - all this is happening in the mind. This loads your "processor" is more likely. Multipass options will make your ears blush. And your brain))
- Intuition
Not everything can be calculated. Sometimes intuition comes to the rescue.
- sense of space
The game is limited to 64 cells, and your plan is to be entered into this framework.
- Reaction
When the clock of a second, it is all about reaction. Respond quickly to move an opponent, put before him a challenge and force him to waste precious time.
There is probably no type of brain activity, which is not worked out during the game. Well, unless you can compare it with the same crossword puzzles?
