Everything parents do for a child from the very beginningbirth, for the sake of his future. They lay the educational platform, instill moral norms, educate the sense of tact, talk about ethics and etiquette ... Yes, you can enumerate endlessly. And did you know that even from infancy you can be involved in the prevention of Alzheimer's disease? No? And no one knew until this thought was brought to the humanity of Italian scientists.Photo:GettyImagesThese pranksters scanned the brains of 85 people diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Half of them spoke only their native language, the other half knew another foreign language. And it turned out that those people who speak two languages ​​are, on average, five years older than those who speak only their native language. And they are at the same stage of the disease. Another discovery: bilingual people have a more developed part of the brain that is responsible for decision-making. And what happens? Not only do people who speak a foreign language make more logical decisions, but they are also protected from a rather unpleasant age-related disease. “The earlier you start learning another language and the more often you practice, the stronger the protective effect on your brain,” added Professor Daniela Perani, lead researcher at the University of San Raffaele. Do you hear? You need to start early and use it more often! But this is a great reason to go on an extraordinary trip abroad... Or at least make friends with a foreigner on a social network. By the way, according to the latest data, about two million people in Russia suffer from dementia, including Alzheimer's. And this is despite the fact that it is generally not very common for us to consult a doctor about problems related to diseases of old age. So if you are still wondering whether to burden your child with languages ​​or not, don't think. Burden him. After all, modern medicine is unable to cure dementia. Medicines can only slow down the progression of the disease. See also:
