Maintaining a sharp mind in our old age is something everyone wants. Consequently, many have tried to capitalize on this naturally lucrative market by o ering supplements (like that stu made from jelly sh) and other remedies that purport to keep the brain young and as sharp as the proverbial tack. But solid scienti c research shows that one of the best ways to keep one’s mental faculties running on all cylinders has nothing to do with drugs, vitamins or supplements. New research shows that seniors who have strong social networks and who interact with a lot of people maintain a superior level of cognition. Emily Rogalski is a professor of cognitive neurology at Northwestern’s Feinberg School of Medicine. She recently led a study that looked at 31 so-called “super-agers” who were 80 or older and in possession of terri c memories. The study was published in the PLOS One medical journal. mattdapore.com/staying-sharp-as-you-age/
