constantly forgetting
where you put your glasses or
keys? Do you agree that without
your daily planner you would feel lost
and miss many scheduled events? If the answer is yes,
don’t fret, you are not alone; this is a normal part of the
aging process.

our brain is actually responsible for every
emotion, thought, and behavior. Believe it
or not, your brain is made up of 60% fat; it
is actually the fattiest system in your whole body. This
fact is a perfect example as to why it is vital that you
consume healthy fats on a regular basis.
A
s we age, our brains do, too; that is why it is
extremely important that we are constantly
exercising our brains over our lifespan.
Throughout life, it is important to expose your brain
to enriched environments
so that your brain will
produce new cells.
Having
increased
cellular connections
is what helps delay
the aging process of
your brain.
