Protecting your brain

As baby boomers pass the half century age mark, more and more conversations seem to be related to complaints of forgetfulness.

As we age, the brain does in fact start to change. Recently, numerous studies have focused on this subject to see what we can all do to preserve our brains and reduce the risk of dementias and Alzheimer’s disease later in life.

One of the absolute best things you can do for your brain is to exercise. People at all different levels of fitness can maintain some level of physical movement each day. Even those limited by use of a walker or wheelchair can move body parts that send more oxygen and nutrients to their brains.
