In old age, you need to take special care of your mental health.

Simple habits can help prevent disorders.

As biochemist Alexandra Shchetkina noted during a conversation with Lenta.ru , pensioners need high social activity.

To do this, you can visit clubs based on your interests.

For example, take part in a choir, since singing is useful for training memory and maintaining brain activity.

You can also start learning new languages, find a new hobby, as this will help you maintain your usual rhythm of life. The fact is that when a person studies unfamiliar difficult material, he forms new neural connections.

In addition, the doctor emphasized the importance of communication with family.

Don't forget about physical activity. In this case, you can consider gymnastics, walks, or even gardening.
