Members Ha**** Posted November 26, 2022 Members Posted November 26, 2022 Keeping your mind active is key to mental health as we age. In fact, there's a field of science dedicated to just that: brain plasticity, or neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is the brain's capability to constantly re-wire itself - to alter its connections. Without neuroplasticity a person's brain would not be able to properly develop from birth into adulthood. While neuroplasticity does lessen with age, it never completely stops. A person can encourage their brain to be 'plastic' regardless of their age. This improves memory, allows for better processing of information better, and even lessens anxiety, stress, and depression. There are several nutritional supplements that can help with neuroplasticity. There are also simple non-dietary ways to keep the brain neuroplastic. Reading - especially fiction - helps. Continuing to learn also helps. It almost doesn't matter what a person is learning, as it's the process of learning new things that makes the brain stronger.
