450 Use it or Lose it

* Your brain has over 200 billion neurons.

Side by side that’s 60,000 miles (95,000km)

* It also has over 500 Trillion synapses with

125 Trillion synapses in the Cerebral Cortex (Information Processing).

* The brain operates at over 100 million instructions… per second.

Ok, so?

Use it or lose it. Use your brain and the connectors thicken, don’t and they lighten. Just like your muscles build up when you exercise, so does the brain thicken its neural connections when you exercise it.

The latest research shows that your blood flow as you age is the problem and not your brain itself. Keep that blood flowing and you don’t age mentally.

Sudoku, crossword puzzles, certain computer games, etc. also all help.
