AM I AGING HEALTHILY ?

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines healthy aging as follows: Learning, growing, being active, meeting basic needs and socializing, and contributing to society. Protecting brain health is also an important part of ‘healthy aging’. Nourishing the ‘brain’ as much as the body, benefiting from healthy fatty acids such as Omega-3, doing various exercises for the brain, and continuing to learn and produce are important elements for brain health. Indicators that our brain health is in place are having balanced energy, being able to sleep in good quality, having a sharp memory, good mood, and fast learning skills. Therefore, the better we nourish our brain, the more our quality of life increases, and we can even have a young and dynamic brain that produces new nerve cells in our old age.

1. Am I aging healthily?

2. Am I consuming brain-friendly foods?

3. Am I exercising my brain enough?
