We all are aging. This is the fact. The physical and mental capacity of our bodies is declining - especially when not in use. Physical exercise can reverse the body aging to some level. The same goes for the mental capacity. One of the most exciting medical findings of last decade is that the brain has high capacity for change - so called "plasticity". Even in aged brain one can trigger decline reversal, by appropriate training. Although it is reported that the most important to maintain mental sharpness is daily physical aerobic activity (increased blood-flow in brain) the mental activity is important as well. I am finding more and more difficult to remember things, to calculate simple math, to calculate route to known places etc. Sometimes it almost equals muscle pain. I need to work on it. Need to be disciplined and do mental exercise...
