Flightradar24.com - Live flight tracker! Navegar por Internet ayuda a poner freno al alzhéimer Un estudio demuestra que los pacientes que utilizan la Red reducen el avance de la enfermedad Redacción. Madrid Internet ya no es algo exclusivo de jóvenes. En los últimos años, las personas mayores han mostrado un creciente interés por las nuevas tecnologías, las redes sociales y todo el mundo de posibilidades que les presenta la Red. Este entusiasmo ha motivado varios estudios sobre sus beneficios en la tercera edad. El último de ellos, ‘English Longitudinal Study of Aging’, ha demostrado que el uso habitual de esta herramienta frena el deterioro cognitivo en los enfermos de alzhéimer. Los autores han investigado a 6.442 pacientes con edades comprendidas entre los 50 y los 90 años durante ocho años y han concluido que el uso de Internet ejercita la memoria. Los investigadores han señalado que la lectura o la realización de ejercicios de memoria en la primera fase de la enfermedad tienen efectos positivos en el avance de la enfermedad y también en el estado anímico del paciente.
