Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Volunteering in late life may protect the brain, research finds
What is volunteering? It is to spend time doing something for others, communities
or societies, activities or causes, or the environment without being paid, but
not the time on helping one’s family or friends. Volunteering gives one the
chance to connect to their communities and others while helping or improving
them. Various pieces of research show that there seem to be positive links
between volunteering and cognitive function, especially for elderly people who do
not usually engage in social or business activities including retirees. True. You
volunteer something because you want to help it. Also, if you take part in
activities you like, you feel involved and satisfied. Furthermore, you can put
something to do on your calendar, which makes your life more productive and fulfilling.
Indeed, doing something not for money but for others makes one’s life
meaningful, especially for those who have retired from work.
Enjoy reading the article and learning about how beneficial volunteering
is for your brain health.
