Stay sharp

Aging is associated with many cognitive dysfunctions such as forgetfulness, inattention or slow processing. Despite the fact that life expectancy is much higher than one hundred years ago, cognitive abilities are becoming less sharp after 65 and are under the risk to advance to dementia.
Recent researches prove that brain functions can be managed during lifetime, modifying the risk factors that affect our genes. Not long ago people still believed that Alzheimer’s disease is an ordinary process of aging. Indeed, dementia cases are proved to be delayed by lifestyle factors that keep our brain in shape.
