John Donne was a Poet, Satirist, Lawyer, and Priest. (1572-1631). Neuroscientists have caught up with the wisdom of this great poet and value the importance of poems that he wrote. They have also realized their essential essence; we must stay coordinated and committed with other people. Our cognitive acuity requires socialization along with physical activity, nutrition, spirituality and mental stimulation. That is the complete recipe for brain fitness. Folks who are deprived of human contact suffer from serious psychological effects along with physical deficiencies. Mental diseases are not always prevented when you are socializing adequately. Socialization will help us to think more clearly and remember a great deal more. The size of the brain has been associated with the size of the social group that the animals generally form. So as we age one should take steps to socialize eg. join a social club, play challenging games with a group of people, meet an old chum for dinner, Learn to ballroom dance with a group. Enjoy a movie night and on and on it goes. Learn a new card game with others.
