The brain is not in vain considered the most complex organ of our body.. This is the control center responsible for everything that happens in our body.. And although modern neuroscientists understand quite clearly which parts of the brain are responsible for which functions, many questions still remain unanswered.. For example, why some people get Alzheimer's disease, while others live to old age in their right mind..

In addition, there is a lot of misinformation about brain aging.. But we can be sure of one thing: if we want our life to be more comfortable and interesting, we need to take care of brain health.. Moreover, there are certain exercises that allow you to delay the onset of its aging for quite a long time..

According to a study published in The Future of Aging Neuroscience, there is one secret to keeping your brain young, and it has a lot to do with how you see the world..

Jongyan Cho from the Seoul National Institute in Korea decided to investigate the relationship between subjective and real brain age.. Her team recruited 68 healthy volunteers aged 59 to 84 and scanned their brains using MRI to determine the amount of "

Participants also filled out a questionnaire in which they indicated how old they were, whether they felt older or younger than their age, and also answered questions to assess cognitive abilities..

People who claimed to feel younger than their age tended to perform significantly better on memory tests. In addition, they considered themselves to be healthier overall and were less likely to be depressed and anxious..

And it’s not just the higher test scores – those participants who said they feel younger had higher gray matter volumes in the brain regions involved in language, speech, and hearing..

“The results of our study indicate that the brains of people who feel younger than their real age actually have the characteristics of a younger brain.. And more importantly, this factor has an impact on brain health even when we take into account all other factors, including personality, subjective health, depressive symptoms, or the influence of heredity,” writes Cho in an article summarizing the research..
