Those of you follow this blog know that I have been curious about brain fitness for several years, and that I have even bought and tried out a few of the online brain fitness programs, including the Posit Science Brain Fitness Program to see what the results would be for my Boomer-soon-to-be-Senior-Brain, and believe it or not, the three that I tried all made a difference. I also began to read the literature about the Pillars of Brain Fitness and discovered that neurogenesis, or the growth of new brain cells and neuroplasticity, which is the term used to describe how neurons connect to each other, could be encouraged by attending to the pillars of brain fitness. In fact neurogenesis was not even discovered until about 20 years ago, and did not have much support in the neurological sciences until about 10 years ago, and now folks are saying that we can encourage neuroplasticity and neurogenesis by living a life that is a brain fit life, which means we get some physical exercise daily, we eat foods as grown, get good sleep, manage our stress, and engage in novel learning experiences. The most important of those is physical exercise, and that may conjure up images of gyms, sweat, heavy barbells, and pain, but that is not the level of exercise required for neurogenesis and neuroplasticity. In fact, in today’s NY Times there is an article discussing How Exercise Can Strengthen your Brain
