For grandmothers, there is nothing more pleasant than spending time with their grandchildren. Scientists have found that it is also useful for them.
The results of a study conducted by the North American Menopause Society show that grandmothers who, at least 1, nursed their grandchildren a day, show better cognitive tests than those who spend less time with their grandchildren, writes Country Living.
Thus, scientists have concluded that caring for grandchildren reduces the risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease in the elderly.
The study involved 186 women of retirement age (120 of them were grandmothers) who underwent 3 types of cognitive tests.
But, as the study showed, the main thing is not to overdo it. Tests showed that grandmothers who spent 5 days a week or more with their grandchildren performed worse on cognitive tasks than those who saw their grandchildren once a week.
In addition, other studies have shown that it is also useful for grandchildren to spend time with their grandmothers, so a child’s trip to the grandmother for a day or two would be a winning combination for everyone.
