The Plastic Brain

How to Stave Off Cognitive Decline

By: Victoria Daini

Narrated by: Christy Lynn

Although every creature on the planet ages, there are still many people that fear the process of aging because you might think there is a loss of control of how you look or how your brain functions. Our cognitive functions, such as memory, learning, focus, and concentration, naturally start to decline when we age. This decline, especially in memory formation and recall, is what people fear about aging the most. When we grow older, we may lose memories that we once held dear, and our ability to form memories becomes hindered. This loss of control of what we can remember is scary to many of us. However, though cognitive decline associated with age is natural, you can slow the process of decline with a little knowledge and effort.

Depending on your lifestyle and habits, you may start to see cognitive decline sooner in life. The frequency and strength of your cognitive decline are entirely dependent upon how you live. Cognitive health is not only connected to the health of your brain. Physical, mental, and emotional health are all connected to cognitive health. No matter your age, there are various techniques and practices that you can try that will reduce the amount of cognitive decline that you see. In this book, you will learn how all the aspects of your body are connected and how sleep, exercise, hobbies, meditation, amongst other practices, help preserve cognitive health.
