Exercising The Aging Brain (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

We get older. Or we get lazy. Or unwell. Or just lost in our Twitter feeds and Netflix binges. And one day, our brains just feel like mush. Forgetful. Foggy. Out of it. Not good. What’s the best way to stay sharp? There are a lot of people who will sell you a solution. A book of crossword puzzles. A bottle of Ginkgo biloba. But what really works? To keep our brains as sharp as they can be as we age or fester or lose the thread. There’s a lot of thought going into it. Some answers are very simple. This hour On Point: keeping an edge on your one and only brain. / Tom Ashbrook
