.: May 2010 --> Middle aged brains are generally smarter than teenage brains

Middle aged brains are generally smarter than teenage brains

» Good news! If you're middle-aged, your brain works better than it did when you were 25. Bonus: Maximize those advantages in one simple step.

There's a lot of hype in this field in terms of brain improvement. I did set out to find out what actually works and what we know. What we do with our bodies has a huge impact on our brains. Our brains are more like our hearts in that everything you do for your heart is thought to be equally as good or better for your brain. Exercise is the best studied thing you can do to your brain. It increases brain volume, produces new baby brain cells in grownup brains. Even when our muscles contract, it produces growth chemicals. Using your body can help your brain.
