When two elderly people are conversing, you often hear them say, "Remember the good old days?" and they launch into a long ago memory of something that occurred in their youth.
My Healthy Seniors explains that reminiscing and getting nostalgic is good therapy for seniors and a way to judge mind clarity. Recalling the past is one of the best methods of improving the memory and when therapists are striving to improve a seniors memory they encourage them to become nostalgic about the past.
Remembering when they were young and times were easier is relaxing for the senior and makes it easier for them to think clearly.
