Physical exercise, positive relationships and a passion for life help develop and maintain our brain's basic structures as we age.

Summary

Steinar Brandslet writing in Neuroscience News, makes the following points:
Three factors contribute to good brain health-
  • An active lifestyle helps to develop the central nervous system and to counteract brain aging.
  • Being with other people, including conversation or physical contact, supports good brain function.
  • Passion, or a strong interest in something, can lead us to learn new things, which helps to maintain our neural networks.
