A simple test shows you if your brain is healthy!

Seoul – Scientists at the Seoul National University are certain: you can easily test the health of your brain. Apparently, people can use self-badysis to find out "how good their brain is."

The results were summarized in their study in the journal Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience. And best of all, the test will "taste" many people – especially women –

According to experts, it can point to "general brain health" when people really feel younger than that. Real age says. Because who feels younger, have more gray matter in the brain. As I said, feel young, not "young".

How can we measure this? Doctors scanned a lot of brains. He showed that people who perceive themselves as younger in certain areas of the brain have more matter / gray cells. This is considered an indication of the healthy functioning of the brain.

The gray in the brain thus fulfills many functions, "including the purification of harmful substances and the transport of glucose". In addition, subjects who feel younger are better at preventing memory tests and less developed depression.

Who did you investigate? A total of 68 people aged 59 to 84 were asked about their age and age.

Then he went to the brain scan. According to Professor Jeanyung Chey of the Seoul National University, young people feel the same "structural features of a younger brain"

This means in plain language: activities have a huge influence on perceived age.

And, conversely, it appeared that those who feel older can be a sign of possible brain aging. The increase in perceived age can therefore indicate serious problems – such as the early stages of dementia. "Awareness of one's subjective age is especially important as it can provide information about brain health."

Anyone who practices sports or stays in nature often knows how to be fit and feel younger. And the result is: you have a healthier brain, say the doctors.

Conclusion: Much of what is commonly considered healthy is reasonably amusing. But if you want to do something in the age against the reduction of natural age in the brain, you can do it with pleasure. Playing board games, for example, can delay mental decline, according to the magazine "Psychology Heute" (issue 8/2018).

Just like sports, especially dance and yoga. Even those who maintain a strong social network may later be cognitively more effective. Even the Kaffeeklatsch with old friends is so good for your own mind. Let's go!
