Why do old people generally suffer from brain disorder?
All old people
suffer from brain atrophy.
Some old people
suffer dementia.
The brain cells
(neurons) you were born with are all the brains you’re going to get, and every
day 1,000,000 of those precious cells die. Yet you can lose half your brain and
still retain personality and memory.
Every time you
get drunk or concussed, you lose another million or so.
Smokers’ brains
atrophy quicker than non-smokers.
Alzheimer’s
respects neither age nor intelligence.
Cherish your
mental muscles. Exercise them, and don’t say ‘I don’t have the brains’ as an
excuse for not wanting to do something challenging.
The brain
behaves like a muscle, has more connections than there are stars in the known
universe, and is a miracle of nature.
The brain is so
complex that half of all your genes are required for its complex development.
