The speed your brain processes information begins to decline around age 24, a study from Simon Fraser University found. You can exercise your brain and counter the aging process. Keeping physically fit and a variety of mental activities are the key.
“One of the main benefits of aging is that we make more accurate decisions with less information,” says psychologist Cynthia Green. “With age, we know more,” she notes. “And we have better emotional balance.”
So how do you know if your brain is in trouble? See a medical professional immediately if you have any of these symptoms:
- You get confused and lost in close proximity to your home.
- You watch Fox News for any other reason than comedy relief.
- You believe a massive fraud occurred in the presidential election.
- You admire Vladimir Putin’s political savvy.
- I, in my infinite wisdom, judge you to be an idiot. (Most Popular) Call me.
