Is my phone over there? Such questions of confusion or thoughtlessness seem to be common in an aging adult’s life. Simple tasks become difficult to complete yet even remember. What’s the answer to creating a better memory? Of course, the answer is exercise. Considering that adults over 50 report staying mentally strong as a top concern, exercise is a very simple, inexpensive fix. Exercise can boost the size of the hippocampus while also increasing the blood flow to this region which is the key region affected by Alzheimer’s. The increase of blood flow produced by exercise also affects the anterior cingulate (relative to emotional tasks and linked to superior cognition in later life) which indicates a higher neuronal activity and metabolic rate. These factors contribute to quicker firing neurons as well as a greater capacity for memory retention. Studies have even proven that the parts of the brain responsible for critical thinking and memory, the prefrontal cortex and the medial temporal cortex, are shown to be enlarged in those with active lifestyles (Godman). The chief director of the Center for BrainHealth, chair at Dee Wyly Distinguished University, and researcher of physical and emotional health states that “physical exercise may be one of the most beneficial and cost-effective therapies widely available to everyone to elevate memory performance”. One study using 86 woman age 70-80 with “subjective memory complaints” were divided into…
Cognitive changes that occur in late adulthood are the loss of memory, mostly the working memory or short-term memory. In general, those in later adulthood are less able to integrate numerous forms of information at once. Though late adulthood has its challenges it can often be a time of rewarding experiences with family, friends, and reconnecting socially to the world. This paper will address the changes in late adulthood and help potential clients and their family’s better understand this stage of life and how to proactively deal with all the changes.…
