The brain is arguably the most complex organ in humans. Throughout human evolution, our brains have played an immeasurable role in setting us apart from all other animals. The brain controls and coordinates everything you do, ultimately shaping your identity. We often take our brains for granted, and most of us are guilty of neglecting habits that keep our brains in peak condition.
Just as physical therapists help maintain overall physical fitness, neurologists have developed strategies to nurture brain health and prevent cognitive decline. Experts believe establishing healthy brain habits as early as possible-ideally in the teenage years-can lay the foundation for lifelong brain health and reduce the risk of cognitive decline later in life. However, it's never too late to start improving your brain health.
