3. What is Brain Health?
The smell of a flower - The memory of a walk in the park - The pain of stepping on a
nail. These experiences are made possible by the 3 pounds of tissue in our
heads...the BRAIN.
It has been estimated that the brain contains a staggering 100 billion inter-
communicating nerve cells or neurons. Everything that happens in our waking and
sleeping life, whether we breathe or swallow, look, listen, touch or taste, read or write,
sing or dance, think silently or speak our thoughts, love or hate, walk or run, plan or
act spontaneously, imagine or create, all occurs in and is controlled by this huge
number of neurons.
Like physical fitness, brain fitness can be improved by various challenging activities
such as playing chess or bridge, dancing regularly, practicing yoga and tai chi and also
by engaging in more structured computer based workouts. Research shows that brain
stimulation can help prevent age-related cognitive decline, reverse behavioral
assessment declines in dementia and Alzheimer’s and can also improve normally
functioning minds.
