Why should older people need to talk more.....?

A doctor once told me that I must talk more when I am retired and old because there is currently no way to prevent memory loss. Talking more may be the only way.

There are at least three advantages, if the elderly people talk more.

First

Speaking will activate the brain and keep the brain agile because language and thinking communicate with each other, especially speaking quickly which naturally exercises the rapid reflection of thinking and also enhances memory. An elderly person who is not talkative is more susceptible to memory loss.

Second

Speaking can release a lot of psychological stress, expel mental illness and reduce mental tension. We often say nothing but bury it in our hearts and suffocate ourselves. This is the truth! So, it's a good thing to allow elderly people to talk more, not less.

Third

Speaking can exercise the active facial muscles and at the same time, exercise the throat and even increase the lung capacity and at the same time it can reduce the decline of eyes and ears and reduce latent dangers, such as dizziness and deafness. 

To summarize, when a person is old, talking as much as possible and actively interacting with people are the only ways to prevent Alzheimer's as there is no cure or full treatment as yet.

So, let us talk more.....


Tailpiece.

Got up around a half past 6, the chores and was ready by quarter past 10. Washing machinex of the bed linen was carried out.

Saw the programme on Lata Mangeshkar on Sony Channel. Lekha and I had listened many-a-time all the numbers because we have two CDs of Lata Mangeshkar's live-in programme at the St Albert's Hall in London in the early '70s. But it was nice, all the same. 

Helped Lekha in watering the plants.
