Some old people often feel that their intelligence is not as good as before after retirement. On the one hand, due to the growth of age, mental health care may not be paid attention to.
In order to keep the brain function from declining, it is very important to keep the brain with enough information stimulation and blood supply.
First of all, we must pay equal attention to verbal intelligence and action intelligence. The behavioral intelligence of the elderly declines faster than verbal intelligence, but it is not easy to maintain.
In addition, there is a large amount of blood supplied to the brain during language activities, so for the elderly, we should not only advocate reading books, reading newspapers, listening to the radio, watching TV and participating in recreational activities frequently, so as to maintain enough information to stimulate the brain. At the same time, we advocate reading aloud, reciting poems and other ways of using oral language to increase the blood supply to the brain.
In order to keep the action intelligent, we should do more subtle actions, such as writing, calligraphy, painting, clay sculpture, sculpture and so on.
Secondly, we should pay attention to the "immersion experience". Old people are rich in knowledge and experience, and their ability of analysis, synthesis and insight is easy to maintain, but their psychological experience of studying problems is not as good as that of young people, so it is very important to keep their interest and concentrate on studying some problems, which is very important to prevent psychological aging.
Third, combine interests with tasks. Solving problems in daily life is different from solving difficult problems with tasks. The blood supply to the brain is different. The more difficult the problem, the more urgent the task, and the more blood is supplied to the brain. Therefore, the mental activities of the elderly should not only pay attention to fun, but also set certain difficulties sometimes.
