Do you know anyone who is elderly?
November 8th 2006 11:32
Just a reminder
Do you have relatives, friends who are elderly.
Studies have shown that those older people who have access to computers suffer less depression than older people who do not?
What do you think is the best way for them to be able to access computers.
Do you talk to older people?
Do you have access to them through some organization such as Church or community activity groups.
Do you think their use of computers could enhance their lives?
Do you think that learning about and using computers could enable them to exercise their brains and encourage the growth of neural connections to help postpone dementia and other degenerative brain diseases?.
Do you think they could be assisted to maintain their memories? How do you think this could be done?
Do you have any ideas or opinions about these things?
Given that one day, if you are fortunate, you will be elderly too, wouldn't you like to be given and practice techniques to help you maintain your memory longer and defer the ageing effects of degenerative diseases.
How long do you expect to live?
These questions and more need to be answered as part of the plan to maintain mental acuity in an increasingly ageing population.
What are your views?

This post was so thought provoking, it brought a sense of urgency to treat our elders with the respect they deserve. As my answer to you started, it became a post in itself. You'll find my answer at my forum. I misplaced my regular glasses, so forgive me if this is the wrong address: http://www.orble.com/harmony's-forum-for-you/b2/
Ok, I think it's right. Give me a shout when you have the chance.

That's true. But studies have shown that the elderly who have a computer show less depression than those who do not.
Your nutrition comments were excellent, but there are other things and I am addressing those, progressively, but comments from others are always helpful.
So, once again, thankyou
