We all know that doing physical activity is good for your overall health, and even if you do shittiest lamest girly lifts, you prolong your miserable lifespan and increase the number of years before you need a walker.Does this apply to your brain too? Suppose I spend 30 minutes a day doing mental exercise. Say, learning Swahili on Duolingo, solving puzzles, or whatever. Does this make me less likely to suffer from dementia once I get old?
>>75723962Yes. Mental capacity slowly goes down the gutter when old people retire.
No if you dont want dementia then spend time with other people, loneliness causes early onset dementia
test
>>75724125Are you retarded? You don't need people to not feel lonely.
>>75724044this is why it's so important to have a hobby when you retire, like art or gardening, and social activities. People who are just couch potatoes when they retire die and/or get dementia early.
>>75725560Yep. But when poor people are "retired" they are put in a box often worse than death, so they deteriorate to vegetable status no matter what they attempt to do about it. I've seen this a thousand times here. Retiring people like this is an industry and art by now. >>75725531You can distract yourself with media, sports, hiking, and other hobbies, animals maybe. But it's not the same.
There's plenty of shit you can do to keep your mind in good shape. Reading, doing creative shit, meditating, and generally the same things that keep you physically fit and healthy in general like good eating, sleep and minimizing your vices.There's also stuff that's harmful if done too much. If you play vidya for a half an hour a day it's not that bad, but if all your free time is spent with games, 4chan, series and brainrot you turn yourself mentally retarded.
>>75725602If you feel lonely and thinks interacting with a person will help to fix it you are either a woman or literally retarded
>>75725619Works for me. Maybe it doesn't if you have schizoid personality disorder?
>>75723962yes, learning new languages is one of the best ways to keep your brain healthy, and just learning new things in general. find new hobbies and make new friends, and make sure you get your hugs in.
>>75725531>bro i got a petYoure lonely and coping
>>75725652>>75725755>needs someone or a pet to not feel lonelylmao literally female thinking show tits please
>>75725755>Youre lonely and copingYeah and what are you gonna do about it?Give me a kiss? pfft, faggot*cries*
>>75723962playing an intense video game can be good for your brain, something like dota 2 where you are constantly analyzing everything going on such as your character build, the map, and fighting other people while organizing with your team. games in general are good for the brain but you may as well do the most intense ones to get full advantage.
>>75725793kek you're definitely a coping friendless loser
>>75723962Not on duolingo or meme stuff like thatYou have to do stuff that's hard and takes effort the kind of stuff that's hard to focus on
is browsing 4chinz a mental excercise?
>>75726530no
>>75723962Yeah and exercise does good for your brain too via myokines.The most kind of proven things that slow cognitive decline are big think kind of a games like mahjong(not the solitaire kind), shogi, go, chess were you have to think out longer distance outcomes constantly. Things that demand dexterity and hand eye coordination also have a strong association like drawing. Reading is also up there but I think the kind of reading matter, I think it has to be focused reading on something as opposed to like posting here and reading all the retarded (you)s straight from Facebook on everything.
Yes. Its been studied extensively that mental games like soduko, cross word puzzles, chess, etc. played regularly preserves and even increases cognitive capabilities.My great grandmother lived until she was 99 and did crosswords every weekend from the newspaper. She never had dementia symptoms, even in her final years.I have noticed playing shitty TCG mobile games like the new Pokemon Pocket, Storybook Brawl, etc. helps keep my mind sharp.
>>75724125This is also true.I know recluses who have gone insane in their 40s.Also, if you study horrorcows like NickBates, they pretty much always spent most of their childhood alone playing video games and only had the internet as means of socialization, resulting in the horrific things we see online from them.
>>75724125How do I spend time with people? The only people I like I can't meet almost at all because I work when they have free time. I can't make new friends because I'm not in a club of any sort or whatever and I work when those are open.
>>75726593>NickBatesHow can I return to not knowing about this guy.
>>75726562Yeah but wrong gamesit has to be stuff like call of duty for the brain effects
>>75727689Sorry. I probably should have put a warning in my post beyond just "horrowcow".
>>75727738I'm breddy sure it's all fine to play as long as you're thinking strategically and getting the cognitive brain power churning. When I played CoD I feel like I didn't use enough strategy and just was mindlessly trying to kill shit in front of me.
>>75724125I thought dementia was like type 4 diabetes or something.
>>75727501Volunteering, local bars, church
