Brain function may decline due to restrictions on going out as a result of the Covid-19, and it is said that elderly people in particular are concerned about the progression of dementia and mild dementia (MCI). In addition, some people in their 40s and above who work from home feel that their minds do not feel clear all day long.
\nStaying at home is important to prevent the spread of Covid-19; however, refraining from going out and working from home have reduced the opportunities for aerobic exercise and communication, which are important for maintaining brain function. In addition, if “stay at home” is prolonged, this may lead to the habit of not going out or exercising, which may accelerate the decline of the brain.
\nThe Japan Society for Dementia Prevention recommends that (while wearing a mask and following social distance) elderly people should perform “aerobic exercises and gymnastics to move the body for about 30 minutes a day.” It is also suggested that if you have a child, enjoy quality conversation with your family can also have positive effects on the brain.
\nIf you have an elderly family members, invite them for a walk in a place with few people, frequently contact them by phone or video call, give them a brain training app or brain training drill that you can do at home and give them chances for a good living environment for their brain.
\nAlso, working people can do aerobic exercises at home, devise communication methods with colleagues even at home work, have trendy online drinking parties, challenge new language and qualification acquisition, and other activities to keep the brain functioning. If you want to train your brain effectively, we also recommend the “Active Brain CLUB”, which is a personal brain training for 5 minutes a day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
