"Speaking two languages save one's brain" is the formula of human life and the brain of bilingual and multilingual work fast as compared to the people who know single language.

Competency in more than one or two languages also saves the brain from getting weaker with age.

According to a recent research of Canadian University, the brain of a person who is frequent in speaking two languages work quickly and soundly for long period as compared to those who know single language.

The researchers of Canadian university have performed an experiment on 104 people between the age of 30 to 88 which proved that those people who are proficient in speaking two languages, their brains work more fast comparatively.

The research of Psychology and Over-aging tells that the mental condition of people who are proficient in speaking two languages is not affected with growing age factors as of others.

The research also revealed that the people who spend their time in playing musical instruments, study and dancing, their mental health decline passively as compared to others.
