It is no secret that with age, brain function deteriorates: memory and speed of thinking are not the same as in youth.
But this process can be stopped: according to neuroscientist Emily MacDonald, you only need to eliminate a few things from your life.
Watch less TV
Television programs can increase the level of cortisol in the blood. It is even worse if you devote time to such pastime before bedtime. This leads to the deterioration of sleep, which, as we know, is one of the most important factors for maintaining brain health.
To get acquainted with the news, you can use newspapers or online media, but it is better to avoid watching horror films, reality shows and talk shows.
Listen to upbeat music
Music has a strong impact on the brain: while listening to it, the brain's neuroplasticity is activated - the lyrics heard influence thoughts and feelings.
For this reason, sad or aggressive music may not have the best effect on cognitive functions.
Stop judging yourself and other people
Judging is a surefire way to get stressed.
Stop judging others for their shortcomings and you can stop judging yourself that way.
For reference
The brain is the central part of the nervous system of animals, usually located in the head (front) of the body and representing a compact cluster of neurons and synapses.
