Lots of activities are linked to better brain health in old age, like getting more education when you’re younger, physical activity and cognitively stimulating hobbies. Experts say regularly speaking multiple languages may be especially beneficial, though. “We use language in all aspects of daily life, so a bilingual brain is constantly working,” said Mark Antoniou, an associate professor at Western Sydney University in Australia who specializes in bilingualism. “You don’t really get that from other enriching experiences, like playing a musical instrument.”

很多活动都与改善老年人大脑健康有关，比如年轻时接受更多教育、体育活动，以及激发认知能力的爱好。专家表示，经常说多种语言可能特别有益。 “我们在日常生活的方方面面都要使用语言，所以双语大脑一直在工作，”澳大利亚西悉尼大学专门研究双语的副教授马克·安东尼奥说。“这是其他成长体验所做不到的，比如演奏乐器。”
