For an Aging Brain, Looking for Ways to Keep Memory Sharp

In many ways, the mind is still a scientific mystery and we are constantly trying to understand it more. One thing is certain though: your brain can deteriorate if you don't take care of it. 

Hey, it's not all bad news. Some studies show the aging brain is more capable than its younger counterpart at creativity and innovation, which means my best days thinking are yet to come. But memory tends to be fleeting, regardless of which side of the study you tend to favor.

This week, a look at how to keep your memory sharp as the brain ages.

TTFN, Fred.
