Cognitive slope This is a problem that usually appears with age and compromises the intellectual functions of the person who suffers. In Spain, the spread of this disease Increases rapidly with age It affects more females than men, although experts emphasize the importance Work our brain before Try to avoid this type of degradation processes.
In normal situations, without a basic mental illness, andThe brain is a plastic organ It always has the ability to learn accurately Its neurological nature. With that ability, and to avoid the natural decline in age, the specialist in health and well -being, Mayur Karthik shares five social networks. Exercises that only need our hands They also help maintain active and healthy neurological attachments.
What is the cerebral gymnastics proposed by a welfare expert?
A The tool for working for mental agility, Maintaining our cognitive skills and avoiding as much as possible Cognitive slope It can be triggered for many years. All of these are possible because the brain is a formatable organ (called neuroplastic), which is always learning and establishing Neurological links.
So, this type of gymnastics does not aim to maintain physical health (however it happens) but mental, petition, placing Focus on memory, concentration and creativity. In order to maintain the brain as active as possible, it is necessary to act and strengthen the brain attachment that enhances the neurological nature of the brain.
1. Hand cross movement to work coordination
The first movement proposed by Professor Karthik Stimulates coordination With a toy cycle, improve the connection on both hemispheres for the best cerebral coordination.
“We put our hands in front of us. We tie our fingers back. Next, let’s go Turning toys in both directionsZigzaging as they followed the movement of a snake. We maintain this exercise for 30 seconds. “
2. Motor skills and stimulated to mental agility
Another gesture that can contribute Activate brain circuitsIn favor of mental agility, “Opening our left hand with the elbow at 90 degrees, then adding all the fingers of the right hand. They match each other. With the fingers of the right hand we slowly beaten on the other side. We change for another 30 seconds.”
3. Glass movements to improve the best motor skills
A slightly complex exercise is proposed to strengthen by the expert Neurological attachments, memory and excellent psycholative skills. “We are looking at us with palms in front of our eyes. We close the two handcuffs: We begin to make the effect of the mirror: we lift the right thumb and the left pink; we repeat the same movement by shutting the handmaster and changing the hands. We maintain this alternative for 20 seconds.”
4. Space concept, combines all fingers
Let’s work now Motor memory and focus“Draw a rectangle with the thumb and index fingers of each hand. Once we have, we turn the wrist to draw another rectangle without taking the thumb and mark that creates the rectangle.
5. Repeated stimulation to more complex cognitive functions
The flexibility of the brain and the intention of maintaining plastics, which prevents the cognitive impairment caused by the elderly, invites us to do the last exercise Accurate movements with each fingerIntegrate them with each other already.
“Since both hands are in front of us, we join the fingers of both hands in their tips. Each one, with the effect of this mirror, the effect of this mirror We first split the thumbWe do over the other, in a sense and rather than the other. When we repeat this movement many times, we are going back to the fingertips and going to the next twins. We repeat the movement for 20 seconds on all the fingers. “
