Signs that show your brain is staying young or aging

Feeling younger or older than your actual age is common for many people. Some may feel like they are 12 years old when playing with their children, while others may feel like they are 70 after a tiring day at work.

But when it comes to the brain, science shows that it can age at a different rate than biological age. Here are three signs that your brain is staying young:

You feel younger than you are
If you feel younger than your biological age, this can be a positive sign. This phenomenon is called "subjective age," and it's an indication that your brain may be reporting a slower rate of aging.

Speak more than one language
Studies show that people who speak two languages ​​have more centralized and specialized neural connections. Speaking two languages ​​makes your brain select information more efficiently and conserves energy, allowing it to stay young.

Live in the moment
Mindfulness practices, such as meditation, can help preserve the brain's gray matter, which is essential for memory. Meditation can be an effective way to reduce stress and maintain mental health.

While the signs that indicate that the brain is aging are:

You're cynical
Negative stress and cortisol, the stress hormone, have harmful effects on your brain. A cynical mindset can be a sign of cognitive aging and can help impair your capacity to think clearly.

Your attention is lost.
Easy distraction is a possible sign of cognitive aging, which can appear at the age of 30 and may be an indicator of Alzheimer's.

Forgetting a lot of things
If your friends start commenting that you have memory problems, it's time to worry. Listen to their comments and get the opinion of a specialist.

You are tired during the day.
Poor sleep and lack of brain rest can lead to direct physical and mental changes that are linked to brain aging.

Staying aware of these signs can help you maintain mental health and prevent early brain aging./TAR
