Alzheimer’s disease is a common disease of the elderly, which has a great impact on the body and daily life of the elderly. So how can we effectively prevent Alzheimer’s? In fact, you can do more brain exercises.
1. Often sticking out the tongue: The survey found that the biggest cause of human aging is brain atrophy, and the most prominent symptoms are rigid tongue and dull expression. It is recommended that the elderly often stick out their tongues when they are fine. This can indirectly stimulate the nerves of the brain and face, thereby slowing down brain atrophy and preventing the aging of facial nerves and muscles.
2. Play to your heart’s content: Find opportunities to play happily, travel, watch movies, go shopping… Have fun, and the efficiency of life will be multiplied with half the effort.
3. Put a pen and paper at the bedside: If you are often entangled by your thoughts before going to bed and can’t fall asleep, you can put a pen and a piece of paper at the bedside, and write down the things you remember. Helps relax the mind.
4. Make a list: When we wake up every morning, our brains will be circling all kinds of to-do items, which can easily affect the bandwidth of the brain, reduce work efficiency, and make people feel restless. The easiest way to do this is: Get the to-do list out of your head – make a list. Keeping all these to-do items in a medium outside the brain can completely free the brain.
5. Tapping the buttocks: The human body has two important meridians connecting the buttocks and the brain, which are the bladder meridian and the Du meridian. Among them, at the coccyx in the middle of the buttocks of the human body, there is a Changqiang acupoint, which is the starting point of the Governor Vessel, from which qi and blood will be transported to the head. Often hitting the Chengfu point on the coccyx and buttocks (the midpoint of the horizontal line of the buttocks) can stimulate the Qi and blood flow of the Du meridian and the bladder meridian, thereby improving the blood supply to the brain.
6. Shaking the whole body: Shaking can stimulate the meridians of the whole body, including the meridians, collaterals and tendons, so that the qi and blood of the brain are sufficient. The practice is also very simple, just like dancing a swing dance, just gently shake the limbs and torso.
