Through the information we collect with the 5 senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste) the brain interprets and identifies everything around us.
With brain function, we are able to think, have emotions and feelings, remember, walk, run and many other things that make us living beings with activity.
Even if our body is physically well, if our brain stops or doesn’t function properly, we can’t engage in activities like walking, talking or thinking.
The brain is a muscle and so it needs daily training to function properly. The more active it is, the healthier and sharper your brain will be.
In this way, experts highlight the importance of engaging in activities that activate your cognitive functions: language, memory, attention, gnosis, praxis, executive functions, etc.
In addition to physical exercise, healthy eating and stress reduction, exercising the brain is one of the ways that can help us age actively and prevent neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease.
