Question:

Does your brain slowly deteriorate as you get older even if you have a healthy and normal brain?

I read somewhere that EVERYONE'S brains deteriorate and the intellect goes down as they get older even if they are born with a healthy, normal, and sharp brain. I also heard that the brain starts to go down hill for everybody when they are in the mid-20s. Is that true?


Answers:

I haven't heard about the mid 20's thing, but people's brains do get slower as they age. The best way to prevent some of the loss is exercising it. This is a valid case of "Use it or lose it." It has been shown that seniors who do things to make them think lose less memory and brain function than those who don't. Do crossword puzzles, computer games, read, etc.
