Normal brain aging may mean slower processing speeds and more trouble multitasking, but routine memory, skills, and knowledge are stable and may even improve with age. It’s normal to occasionally forget recent events such as where you put your keys or the name of the person you just met.
Beside above, how does the brain change with age?
As we age our brains shrink in volume, particularly in the frontal cortex. As our vasculature ages and our blood pressure rises the possibility of stroke and ischaemia increases and our white matter develops lesions. Memory decline also occurs with ageing and brain activation becomes more bilateral for memory tasks.
In this regard, how do you reverse brain aging?
Regular aerobic exercise in combination with a heart-healthy diet appears to reverse some effects of brain aging and might reduce the risk of dementia, according to a new study that reinforces the value of lifestyles changes for keeping both heart disease and dementia at bay.
