While this is certainly positive it allows research to become more focused and illuminates that the brain is vastly and endlessly complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Senior Brain Health FAST FACT: Even though<\/em> the human brain represents only two percent of the body\u2019s weight, it <em>receives nearly a quarter of the body\u2019s total blood supply.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite all of its mysteries, one thing we do know is that the brain \u2013 like all of our organs \u2013 does indeed age. As we get older, the brain\u2019s overall volume gradually decreases (at approximately 5% per decade after the age of 40), causing nerve cells to lose certain connections. Reduction in blood flow and certain cardiovascular conditions can add to this as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For seniors, these factors may lead to occasional forgetfulness or lapses in memory. Significant memory loss, however, is not a normal part of aging and may be indicative of Alzheimer\u2019s disease or other forms of dementia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seniors who are experiencing memory loss or have had problems with language skills, perception, or other mental functions must address these concerns with a physician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Senior Brain Health: Four Ways to Keep the Senior Brain Healthy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Research suggests that there are several strategies seniors can adopt to help reduce the risk of cognitive decline. These may also benefit overall health. Encourage your aging loved ones to incorporate the following practices into their daily routine. However, before starting any new exercise program or dietary changes, ensure they consult with a physician and dietitian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1. Stimulation:&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the last few years, there have been numerous research studies in the area of neurological plasticity, which refers to the brain\u2019s ability to structurally modify in response to new experiences. This \u201cre-wiring\u201d of nerve cells is actually what is at the center of most cognitive and physical rehabilitation practices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, it essentially serves the same function for those looking to keep their brains healthy, and it can be done simply by learning new skills or keeping the brain regularly \u201cexercised\u201d through puzzles or games.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many suggest that seniors enroll in a class or other form of organized learning \u2013 which will help not only in developing new skills but also in cultivating socialization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2. Exercise Regularly:&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While it\u2019s not exactly news that exercise is good for the body, it may come as a surprise to some that regular exercise also has quite an impact on mental health. Physical activity improves cardiovascular health, which in turn helps supply the brain with blood.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also helps in developing new\/increasing existing neural connections (see neurological plasticity above), allowing the brain to be more adaptive. Research suggests that regular exercise can also significantly reduce mental stress.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some seniors may choose to join a class with close friends for exercise, but it can just as easily be done at home. The key is to ensure that the heart rate is elevated through moderate activity, for at least 20-30 minutes every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3. Watch Your Diet:&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The food we consume has a direct effect on our mental wellbeing and health. To operate at its optimum level, the brain requires fuel in the form of vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your current diet consists primarily of salt, sugar, fat, and refined\/processed foods, consider switching things around. Studies show that diets consisting of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, sources of B vitamins, and lean meats can significantly reduce anxiety levels and even the risk of depression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4. Stay Social:&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although it\u2019s not entirely understood how socialization bolsters brain health, studies show that a correlation between having strong social connections and longer life expectancy does exist. Interaction, whether it be with friends, family members, or next-door neighbours, appears to reduce the risk of cognitive decline and improve overall mental well-being.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is especially evident in those who volunteer their time to help others. Try reaching out through organizations, community centers, or schools to see how you can help make a positive impact on others \u2013 and the health of your brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Senior Brain Health Best Practices for Optimal Brain Function<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What unifies all of these best practices for maintaining brain health? The key, as countless scientific studies would suggest, is engagement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Comfort Keepers<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Edmonton Can Help<\/strong>!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your loved ones are working to improve their mental well-being and want to incorporate the aforementioned best practices into their lifestyle, we can help.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Comfort Keepers<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Edmonton is Proud to Offer a Wide Range of Home Senior Care Services<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our trained caregivers will ensure your loved one is comfortable, independent and safe in their home.
