Someone asked me to elaborate on what I mean by brain fitness. The brain is just like your muscles in that it also needs exercise to keep in shape, and it will deteriorate with disuse.
The way to "exercise" the brain is to engage it in tasks that require thinking, learning, and the use of imagination.
Typically, as someone gets older, they do less new things and less things that require in-depth thinking, and life becomes a routine that involves very little learning, just repetition of the same tasks every day, because repetition is safe.
Unfortunately, this allows brain degradation.
It's a vital part of the Total Fitness philosophy because what good is a strong heart and muscles if your memory and wits are in poor condition?
P.S. Cardiovascular exercise is also good for your brain. You can read about that in an article I wrote by clicking here.
