6 Best Habits To Keep Your Brain Fit
It’s true that the brain typically finishes developing in our twenties, after which there is a gradual cognitive slowing with age, so it’s good to start thinking about these things early.

In short, there’s reason to be optimistic because there are things you can do – lifestyle habits you can adopt – to maintain your brain sharpness and protect yourself from risk of dementia.
