Akatswiri anasonkhanitsa zambiri zokhudza kutenga nawo mbali muzochitika zopindulitsa anthu ammudzi monga gawo la ntchito yodzifunira, gulu lachipembedzo, gulu la anthu oyandikana nawo, gulu la ndale kapena kuyesa kuthetsa mavuto ena a anthu.
Pausinkhu wa zaka 50, maphunziro onse anayesedwa molingana ndi kachitidwe ka maganizo, kuphatikizapo kukumbukira, kulingalira, ndi kulingalira. Zinapezeka kuti omwe adachita nawo adapeza bwino pang'ono pamayesowa.
Ubale umenewu unapitirirabe ngakhale pamene asayansi anaphatikiza zopindulitsa za maphunziro apamwamba kapena thanzi labwino lakuthupi pofufuza.
Pamene akugogomezera, sizinganenedwe momveka bwino kuti ndi kudzipereka komwe kumathandizira mwachindunji kuchita bwino kwaluntha m'zaka zapakati.
Ann Bowling, yemwe ndi mkulu wa kafukufukuyu, akugogomezera kuti kudzipereka kwa anthu kungathandize anthu kuti apitirize kulankhulana ndi luso la anthu, zomwe zingateteze bwino ubongo ndi kuchepetsa ukalamba, choncho ndi bwino kulimbikitsa anthu kuti azichita izi.
Dr. Ezriel Kornel, dokotala wa opaleshoni ya ubongo wochokera ku Weill Cornell Medical College ku New York, ali ndi maganizo ofanana. Komabe, akugogomezera kuti anthu omwe amacheza nawo ndi gulu lapadera kwambiri la anthu. Nthawi zambiri amakhala ndi chidwi chofuna kudziwa zambiri za dziko komanso nzeru zapamwamba komanso luso la chikhalidwe cha anthu.
Komabe, ziyenera kukumbukiridwa kuti kudzipereka kokha sikokwanira kuti mukhale ndi luntha kwanthawi yayitali. Moyo ndi thanzi, mwachitsanzo, kaya tikudwala matenda a shuga kapena matenda oopsa, ndizofunikira kwambiri. Kafukufuku akuwonetsa kuti zinthu zomwezo zomwe zimawonjezera chiopsezo cha matenda amtima zimathandizira kukula kwa dementia.
Kuonjezera apo, pali umboni wochuluka wosonyeza kuti kuchita masewera olimbitsa thupi kumapindulitsa mwachindunji pa ntchito ya ubongo, akuwonjezera Dr. Kornel. Zotsatira zake zopindulitsa zidawonedwa ngakhale mwa anthu omwe ali ndi vuto lochepa lachidziwitso, pomwe maphunziro a luso lamalingaliro sanapereke zotsatira zabwino zotere.
