DO YOU KNOW YOUR BRAIN DOESN’T STAY THE SAME SIZE FOREVER?
Yes, our brain gradually becomes smaller.
As we age, our brains naturally lose a small amount of volume. This process usually begins in adulthood and becomes more noticeable later in life.
But don't panic, this is a normal part of aging.
Your brain is constantly changing. While some neurons and connections are lost over time, the brain can also form new pathways through a process called neuroplasticity.
Factors that help keep your brain healthy include:
• Regular physical exercise
• A balanced diet
• Quality sleep
• Lifelong learning
• Social interaction
Although some shrinkage is expected with age, rapid or excessive brain atrophy can be associated with neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and other disorders.
Growing older is inevitable, but keeping your brain active can help it stay healthier for longer.
