Brain Health

When we talk about maintaining brain health, we are referring to the idea of slowing the process of cognitive decline. The goal of maintaining brain health is to keep your mind sharp well into old age. Maintaining brain health is important because a decline in cognitive function can make life much more difficult. It can be frustrating to have a harder time with things like thinking and remembering. It can be embarrassing to have to ask others for help when you need it.
