23-28 YOUR BRAIN IS WELL LOOKED AFTER

Well done! It looks as if your lifestyle is keeping your brain happy and healthy. And don’t worry if you’ve said you need a coffee to kick-start your day – it’s packed with antioxidants which help boost brain health, found a study from the University of Finland.

Plus, congratulations if you follow a Mediterranean diet – fresh fruit, vegetables, lean meat and olive oil all

help protect against cognitive decline, according to research in the Journal of Neural Transmission.

If you struggle to exercise but manage to squeeze in the occasional yoga session, do try to keep it up. Your brain will thank you for it! Neuroscientist Sara Lazar found experienced meditators aged between 40-50 years had just as much grey matter as the average 20-30-year-old.
