Socialization
Socialization has been part of our DNA since the beginning of time. Research now suggests a potentially important health role for maintaining socialization throughout your life. The activities you engage in have an impact on your brain health and perhaps affect your vulnerability to neurodegenerative disease. People who isolate or segregate themselves have been shown to be at greater risk of developing dementia than those who remain integrated into society. Socializing with others provides an opportunity for communication, critical thought, creativity and emotional expression. It also plays a vital role in boosting personal meaning and identity. Fortunately, there are many ways to expand our social networks and develop new roles and purpose to ensure brain health even as we enter retirement.
