Brain fitness is similar to physical fitness, but instead of exercising your body you are strengthening your mind. In this episode, we’re talking about how engaging in consistent mental effort activates different parts of your brain and how this ultimately affects your cognition (e.g., memory). To help us better understand how an engaging lifestyle can delay cognitive aging and change your brain, I’ll be sharing the research and work of Dr. Denise Park – Director of the Park Aging Mind Laboratory in the Center for Vital Longevity at the University of Texas at Dallas.
