Neuroscience Says This Simple Habit Improves Cognitive Health
It also makes your brain act younger
Do things like this ever happen to you?
- Someone asks you about a restaurant nearby. You love it, you tell them; you go there all the time. Then, you realize the last time you actually visited was several years ago.

Time catches all of us eventually. But what if I were to tell you that a new study suggests there’s a simple thing you can do every day that can improve brainpower and restore cognitive health, to the point that your brain functions as if it were several years younger?
Writing in the journal Annals of Behavioral Medicine, researchers at the Penn State College of Medicine say they may have found just such a thing.
