★ 5 secrets of 'the unaging brain' ★

1. Keep bothering your brain

Crossword puzzle (crossword puzzle)It has not been clearly demonstrated whether using the brain, such as playing this cube, helps maintain brain health.However, it is clear that a lack of education undermines cognition.The more you learn, the better your mental health is as you get older. The key is to challenge something new.It is much more useful to challenge something new than to fit the same piece over and over again.

2. Don't take brain health supplements

Recently, criticism has been raised that brain health supplements are just a waste of money, similar to complex vitamins. Brain-related drugs such as ginkgo and melatonin (sleep disorder treatment drug) are not very helpful and can cause side effects.
Even if the ingredients are natural ingredients, they cannot be free from potential side effects such as high blood pressure, indigestion, infertility, and depression.
Even for healthy people, medicine made from ginkgo leaves is not helpful to the brain at all other than the placebo effect.(In some cases, the placebo effect was greater.)

3. Calm down

Stress harms the brain by producing large amounts of harmful chemicals in the hippocampus or other parts of the brain that are associated with memory.Some scientists argue that relaxation and social activities such as balanced living and yoga can reduce stress and slow memory loss.

4. Eat fish

Studies have shown that as fish appeared in the diet, human cognitive ability has developed dramatically. Essential fatty acids such as omega-3 are not only critical to brain function, but have also been proven useful in treating brain diseases such as depression.
Since studies on the efficacy of omega-3 have shown complex results, it is recommended to take something extracted from flax seeds, fish, and herbivores. 

5. Enjoy your coffee

There is growing evidence that caffeine-eating habits protect the brain. According to a large-scale longitudinal study, obtaining caffeine satisfaction twice to four times a day can avoid cognitive decline and reduce the chance of developing Alzheimer's disease by 30 to 60%.
It is not clear whether this effect is caused by caffeine or by antioxidants in coffee or tea.
