Healthy Ageing – How to Remain Mentally Fit and Active
Let’s talk about how we can protect our brains from ageing
We have been taught how to look after our bodies (for the most part). But what is missing is a conversation about our brains – how can we preserve our mental abilities as we age?
Every heartbeat, every thought, and every feeling is determined by our nerves. But how do they age? How does the brain actually age? And what can we do to keep it working, to keep ourselves young and healthy on the inside? Marianne Koch delves into the science of what protects us against Alzheimer’s and dementia. She explores why it is so important for our cognitive reserves to continue learning throughout our lives, why we should pay attention to good sleep, and what we can do to avoid loneliness in old age.
- Wonderfully vividly explained and informative
