Doctor Warning! Exercise. Anti-dementia.

Exercise has a positive effect on the brain in terms of brain structure and brain function.

1. Helps to strengthen brain structure

Exercise stimulates the secretion of important substances, such as BDNF, which play a role in repairing and regenerating neurons.

It also reduces inflammation in the body, and makes the vascular system work better.

The consequences are

- Blood flows to the brain.

- The brain gets more oxygen.

- Helps regulate pressure, sugar and blood lipids

All of these are important factors that help care for long-term brain health.

2. Help practice brain activity directly

Especially exercises that require thinking, decision-making, and body coordination, such as racket sports or martial arts.

These activities require the brain to analyze situations, plan movements, and react quickly within seconds, thus activating multiple brain functions simultaneously.

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวที่ได้ลองนำนิสัยการออกกำลังกายมาปรับใช้ในชีวิตประจำวันกับผู้สูงอายุในครอบครัว พบว่าการออกกำลังกายที่ต้องใช้ความคิดและการวางแผน เช่น การเล่นกีฬาแร็กเกตหรือศิลปะการต่อสู้ ทำให้ผู้สูงอายุมี mental alertness ที่ดีขึ้นและมีสมาธิที่ยาวนานขึ้นอย่างชัดเจน โดยเฉพาะการเคลื่อนไหวที่ซับซ้อนทำให้สมองต้องประสานงานหลายส่วนพร้อมกัน ไม่เพียงแต่ช่วยเสริมสมรรถภาพร่างกายเท่านั้น แต่ยังช่วยกระตุ้นการหลั่ง BDNF ซึ่งเป็นสารสำคัญตัวหนึ่งที่ช่วยซ่อมแซม เซลล์ประสาทและสร้างเซลล์สมองใหม่ได้ดี นอกจากนี้ การออกกำลังกายสม่ำเสมอช่วยให้ระบบหลอดเลือดทำงานได้ดี ส่งผลให้เลือดไปเลี้ยงสมองเต็มที่ ทำให้การนำออกซิเจนและสารอาหารไปสมองมีประสิทธิภาพมากขึ้น ซึ่งทั้งหมดนี้ช่วยชะลอความเสื่อมของสมองโดยเฉพาะในกลุ่มผู้สูงวัยที่เสี่ยงสมองเสื่อม ผมแนะนำให้เริ่มจากกิจกรรมที่เหมาะสมกับสุขภาพ เช่น เดินเร็ว, ว่ายน้ำ, หรือเล่นกีฬาเบาๆ ที่ต้องใช้สมองตัดสินใจและตอบสนองเร็ว การทำกิจกรรมเหล่านี้ไม่เพียงแต่ช่วยให้ร่างกายแข็งแรง แต่ยังส่งผลดีระยะยาวต่อการรักษาสุขภาพสมองในวัยสูงอายุด้วย สุดท้ายแล้ว การใช้ชีวิตประจำวันร่วมกับกิจกรรมออกกำลังกายที่เหมาะสม ถือเป็น 'ยาต้านสมองเสื่อม' ที่ไม่มีผลข้างเคียงและยังสามารถทำได้ง่ายๆ ด้วยตัวเอง ควรจัดตารางออกกำลังกายให้สม่ำเสมอและมีความหลากหลายเพื่อกระตุ้นสมองในหลายๆ ด้าน พร้อมทั้งรักษาความสมดุลระหว่างร่างกายและสมองไปพร้อมกัน
