I forgot that June was Brain Health Awareness Month. And then I stumbled over several interesting research articles that say it’s never to late — or early — to learn.
According to Dr. Louise Dye, a nutrition and behavior professor at the University of Leeds in England, our brains go through major changes in our lifetime, especially when we are very young and very old.
Children’s brains increase in mental capacity as they grow and learn, says Dye. In our middle years, our goal is to maintain our brain function with good habits such as adequate sleep and dealing well with stress.
