An email from one of my friend... Taliking about the disease of Dementia.
Maybe some of you may not heard about this (me lor) before...
Here are the info about Dimentia ......
>a group of symptoms caused by disorders that affect the brain.
> People with dementia may not be able to think well enough to do normal activities, such as getting dressed or eating & lose their ability to solve problems or control their emotions. Their personalities may change. They may become agitated or see things that are not there.”
>Memory loss is a common symptom of dementia. However, memory loss by itself does not mean you have dementia. People with dementia have serious problems with two or more brain functions, such as memory and language.
Symptons : Recent memory loss. Difficulty performing familiar tasks. .Problems with language. Time and place disorientation.Poor judgment. Problems with abstract thinking. Misplacing things. Changes in mood. Personality changes. Loss of initiative.
Sound abit scary hor... But actually there are ways to prevent it...
It is......TRAIN YOUR BRAIN..........
Lets start taking care of our brain in 30s & 40s or even earlier.... 20s....
Tips-tips to train your brain : PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
1. Join clubs or organizations that need volunteers. If you start
volunteering now, you won't feel lost and unneeded after you retire.
sometimes I feel lost in my life (esp when i am having a bad day)..I heard from my lecturer, if you wanna be really happy to your life, life is all about giving and sharing. Human is greedy, cant denied it at all. Normally we will oli ask sth from others but unwillin to giv wat v hav to others who really need it..... So...i really would like to join some volunteering event but duno where to join la...maybe i am jus creating an excuse for myself. Well. at least I am starting to look for it now..at least one....
2. Develop a hobby or two. Hobbies help you develop a robust brain
because you're trying something new and complex.
hobby?hobbies? I cant think of ONE at all... ermm... sleeping?eating?watchin TV? Is not new at all wor...How a? How to develop the interest????? yeah..maybe diving??aha....I hope I can dive later by this year...
P/s : Pov Pov, wei..rmb you promised me to dive together ya...don CON me wor.. ^ ^
3. Practice writing with your nondominant hand several minutes every
day. This will exercise the opposite side of your brain and fire up
those neurons.
My left hand alw is useless and retarded de. Cant write at all..maybe can la...but..definitely UGLY!!!
4. Take dance lessons.
wee...wee.... I am loving it!!!!! Again..NO TIME.
ahahahaha...alw watch tv and noticed that people who know to dance look so attractive and SEXY...kids are even cuter and adorable... Why? I am wondering... why my mama never send me to dance lesson when I was young?
5. Need a hobby? Start gardening. Researchers in New Zealand found
that, of 1,000 people, those who gardened regularly were less likely to
suffer from dementia. Not only does gardening reduce stress, but
gardeners use their brains to plan gardens; they use visual and spatial
reasoning to lay out a garden.
NO WAY!! I hate mosquito!! and my blood is damn bloody sweet to them.
6. Buy a pedometer and walk 10,000 steps a day. Walking daily can
reduce the risk of dementia because cardiovascular health is important
to maintain blood flow to the brain.
Walk from car park to office less than 10,000 steps... But should be okay la. At least I am walking everyday!!!!
7. Read and write daily. Reading stimulates a wide variety of brain
areas that process and store information. Likewise, writing (not
copying) stimulates many areas of the brain as well.
Read, read, read ...reading almost everyday especially at office. Surfing net on market news, palm oil news, gossips, fashion, ppl's blog....
Write, write, write...Typing in MSN, YM..definitely not copying la....all my own copyright la.
8. Start knitting. Using both hands works both sides of your brain. And
it's a stress reducer..
Wat is Knitting a?Using both hands...ermmm....when normally we will use noth hands de..ah ya..when i shop till i drop..using both hands to carry the bags...wao...should shop more la then...ngek ngek ngek...
9. Learn a new language. Whether it's a foreign language or sign
language, you are working your brain by making it go back and forth
between one language and the other.
Language that I know... Hakka (with mama n family), Mandarin & Cantonese (with frenss), Malay (national laguage wat), english (broken wan can gua..), japanese (arigato, komuchi, yamateh...hohoho), korean (o-pah, salaheyo, ....), & I am learning a new language de... Oun Srolagn Bong, Oun Somlagn...yeah....
10. Play board games such as Scrabble and Monopoly. Not only are you
taxing your brain, you're socializing too.o.)
Tak Suka la.
11. Take classes throughout your lifetime. Learning produces structural
and chemical changes in the brain, and education appears to help people
live longer.
Kindergarten -> primary -> secondary -> ACCA -> wat else??? But i am tired la....if without exam, it will be wonderful..but...impossible la hor.
12. Listen to classical music.
No comment.
13.. Learn a musical instrument. It may be harder than it was when you
were a kid, but you'll be developing a dormant part of your brain.
DRUM?????simply hit la....
14. Travel.
Believed that everyone love travel ....
15. Pray. Daily prayer appears to help your immune system. And people
who attend a formal worship service regularly live longer and report
happier, healthier lives.
TGIF!!! Thanks God is Friday!!!!
16. Learn to meditate. It's important for your brain that you learn to
shut out the stresses of everyday life.
17. Get enough sleep.
alw fishing at office....sigh....
18. Eat more foods containing omega-3 fatty acids: Salmon, sardines,
tuna, ocean trout, mackerel or herring, plus walnuts
sahsimi = salmon!!!! expensive lar...
19. Eat more fruits and vegetables.
vegetarian is good!!
20. Eat at least one meal a day with family and friends. You'll slow
down, socialize, and research shows you'll eat healthier food than if
you ate alone or on the go.
