Unlock Brain Potential to Protect Against Decline

Unlock Brain Potential to Protect Against Decline

@...@Our brain is probably the most neglected, abused and poorly understood organ of our entire body// While sports concussions and Alzheimer*s awareness are at ©an all~time high, many of us fail to protect our brain from potentially reversible decline// The No// 1 cause of cognitive decline is not the 13 percent of us who will develop Alzheimer*s disease nor the millions of traumatic brain injuries reported each year// One of the leading causes of diminishing cognitive capacity is healthy people letting their brain lose ground//

@...@Fortunately, it does not have to be that way// There are a ©number of actions people can take to maintain and support life~long cognitive capacity in the absence of disease// Research shows that the brain is inherently changeable throughout life// Just as lifestyle interventions can spur weight loss and decrease bad cholesterol, we now ©know that implementing healthy brain habits can improve neuron nourishing brain blood flow and strengthen weakened connections between brain regions producing positive cognitive change//
