Bilingualism Delays the Aging Process of the Brain

There are many ways to protect the brain from aging, such as exercising regularly and having a balanced diet. But if you want to further protect your brain from aging, learning another language might interest you, as this research from Singapore University of Technology and Design suggests that bilingualism has a protective effect against cognitive decline in aging.

Researchers… examined and found that active bilingualism – the regular balanced use of two languages and language switching – will offer protection against the brain’s aging process. The paper was published in the Journals of Gerontology: Psychological Sciences.
