Cognitive decline and
prevention activities
Over the years we are not only losing our memory, but also the visual-spatial perceptions, attention, executive functions, etc.
Cognitive decline has been monitoring us since the age of 30 and is a normal process of aging, but it can occur in a more intense form as a result of various causes, which also represent risk factors for cognitive decline (brain damage, cardiovascular disease, dementia, unhealthy lifestyle, poor social inclusion, low cognitive activity). Problems seen in cognitive decline may be mild, moderate or progressive. The consequences of cognitive decline can also be reflected in changes in emotion and behaviour. At the same time, some cognitive abilities improve over the years. We are talking about wisdom and experience when we better understand others and ourselves and the nature of interpersonal relationships. Our vocabulary and general knowledge gets richer as we grow and gain experiences. We become emotionally more stable, and the years are also a good thing for planning activities.
There are important risk factors that we can have influence on. Maintaining good psychophysical fitness and health is key. Preventive or preventing the progression of cognitive decline includes our targeted efforts that have the greatest effect when they are multisensory, multi-tasking, timely and intense enough! Changing of risky habits should be an opportunity for new challenges that will include mental, sensory, sensorimotor, communication, emotional and social activities, healthy nutrition and movement.
The most effective cognitive activities are those that involve multiple complex cognitive functions at the same time (e.g. spatial orientation, motor memory, planning, speed of information processing). A number of studies have shown that we can influence our cognitive decline. We cannot completely prevent it, but with certain preventive activities and exercises we can stop it to the point that it does not advance too fast. It can be alleviated, and some abilities can even be improved with certain activities or by regulating the risk factors that we can influence.
