The professor named four effective ways to slow down the aging of the brain

 With age, a person may experience impaired cognitive functions or develop dementia. However, some actions can slow down the aging process of the brain, which was pointed out by a professor from the United States, Gary Small.

There is evidence of a direct connection between physical activity and the health of the central nervous system. Just 20 minutes of brisk walking a day may be enough to reduce the risk of dementia.

During sports, proteins are released that stimulate brain cells. Do not forget about the diet, trying to choose a healthy diet for yourself.

Improper nutrition increases the chances of obesity, which increases the risk of dementia. You need to lean on fish and nuts, because they are rich in omega-3, allowing you to resist inflammation. At the expense of vegetables and fruits, you can avoid oxidative stress, which leads to wear and tear of the brain.

The professor advises to pay attention to the emotional state. In stressful situations, cortisol is produced, which can harm not only the brain, but also the heart and stomach.

Those who are regularly exposed to stress are more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease. Do not forget to train your brain. This is facilitated by social contacts that involve active conversations.
