"The explanation.'
Brains of older people are slow because they know so
much...
People do not decline mentally with age, it just
takes them longer to recall
facts because they have more information in their
brains, scientists
believe.
Much like a computer struggles as the hard drive
gets full up, so to do
humans take longer to access information, it has
been suggested.
Researchers say this slowing down it is not the same
as cognitive decline.
The human brain works slower in old age, said Dr.
Michael Ramscar, but only
because we have stored more information over time
The brains of older people do not get weak. On the
contrary, they simply
know more.
Also, older people often go to another room to get
something and when they
get there, they stand there wondering what they came
for.
It is NOT a memory problem, it is nature's way of
making older people do
more exercise.
SO THERE!!
I have more friends I should send this too, but
right know I can't remember
theirnames...
So please forward it to your friends, they may be my
friends too..
