5 rules for maintaining sanity and reason

Dr. Gene Cohen, director of the George Washington Center for Medicine, after some research proved that the peak of human wisdom occurs at the age of seventy! And there is nothing strange in this, because at this age a person is already gaining enough experience and in many situations makes the right decisions automatically. After all, the human brain has already seen a lot and in some situations it can act like a template. But there is one small "but"! The chance to enjoy the realization of one's wisdom is possible only if a person has retained his common sense. There are certain rules on how to do this.

5 Rules for Maintaining Your Sanity and Reason

1. Gym

If you heard somewhere that athletes are "not smart" people don't believe it. BCAA amino acids, popular among athletes, pump not only muscles, but also brains. And scientists at the University of Pennsylvania can attest to this. This will help maintain mental clarity in old age. Also, American scientists have proven that people who have nothing to do with sports are more at risk of developing dementia, since this happens much less frequently with physically developed people. As Jean-Jacques Rousseau said: “A pitiful delusion — imagine that bodily exercise harms mental exercise! As if these two things should not go side by side, as if one should not lead the other!

2.Reconnection with nature

Imagine: a forest, a river, fresh air, a cozy little house - wonderful, isn't it? Sometimes, you just need to forget about all the problems and just relax in the fresh air, in order to maintain your psychological health and, accordingly, your sanity.

3. A handful of nuts

Nuts are extremely beneficial for your brain as they contain essential vitamins, minerals, fiber and essential nutrients that stimulate the brain. It is also good to use them for the treatment of the cardiovascular system and metabolic syndrome. Therefore, it will do you good to start the day with a couple of nuts.

4.Mug of chocolate

The beneficial properties of hot chocolate have been talked about for a long time (preventing heart disease, slowing down aging and just raising your mood), so hot chocolate will not greatly affect your figure, as it contains much less sugar than black and, moreover, milk chocolate. Therefore, a mug of hot chocolate a day is what you need to keep your sanity!

5. Minimum stress

Stress is an integral part of the life of a modern person. Hard work, problems in the family, high employment - all these factors can cause chronic stress. However, chronic stress should not be confused with short-term stress. Short-term stress can cause not only negative emotions, but also positive ones, for example, buying a new house, replenishing the family, acquiring a pet is also stressful. Chronic stress is also a cause of Alzheimer's disease. Do not worry about trifles, otherwise this disease is not far off. Temple University claims that stress hormones can lead to this disease. Therefore, it is worth thinking before exposing your body to any stress.

Probably, each of us thought about our old age. Where will we spend it, with whom, how secure will we be? Everyone imagines themselves surrounded by close people who love children, traveling the world, enjoying a well-deserved rest …Only one question: is all this possible if a person has not retained clarity of mind and common sense.
