Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Negative thinking linked to dementia in later
life, but you can learn to be more positive
Dementia is a disease and impaired condition such as a decline in memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking
skills that affect a person's ability to perform everyday activities including
memory loss. It has been thought that repeated negative thinking increases the
risk of Alzheimer's disease, which is the most common cause of dementia.
Also, those who look at life from a negative
perspective have a higher chance to suffer cardiovascular risk than positive
thinkers. One reason could be the link between positive thinking and health
attitudes, such as a healthier diet and exercising. What do you think about your
attitudes towards life and health? Both positive, one positive and the other
negative, or both negative? But is it that simple to label people by asking if the
glass is half empty or half full? What about those who are kind of between them,
like those who don’t think things so much anyway whether positively or negatively?
Also, is it that easy to convert perspectives from one side to the other even
if you know you should?
Read the article and think if a cloudy day is
better than a rainy day.
