[The main cause of Alzheimer’s] may be societies’ absence of respect for elderly people.
According to the study,by the Yale School of Public Health.
The study says that individuals who are conditioned by society to believe that they will lose
their mental sharpness when they grow old likely will. People who succumb to negative
thinking and feeling obsolete, it says, will sometimes mentally “retire.”And this withdrawal
can actually change their brains in a way that leads to Alzheimer’s and other kinds of dementia.
The study, titled “A Culture–Brain Link: Negative Age Stereotypes Predict Alzheimer’s
Disease Biomarkers,” was published on Dec. 7, 2015, in the journal Psychology and Aging.
-
The logic of the conclusion is easy to understand: When those who are negative about aging
begin growing old, they will put forth less effort. They will give up more easily in the face of
difficulty and try to avoid challenging situations. And since the brain is a “use it or lose it”
organ, avoiding challenges and reducing effort leads to physical deterioration.

God says younger people should “rise up before the hoary head”
and “honor the face of the old man” (Leviticus 19:32).
God sees gray hair on a person as a “crown of glory” (Proverbs 16:31).
-
But our society today wants to send them off to the old folks home. Other cultures
that still treat the eldest as head of there household, still involved in discisions as
God designed, do not have this problem, but we here just love youth, or to stay young.
