Pathway To Improved Brain Power

Improving concentration and attention

Of course, certain capabilities fall off as you approach 50.

Memories of where you left the keys or parked the car mysteriously vanish. Words suddenly go into hiding as you struggle to remember the guy, you know, in that movie, what was it called? And calculating the tip on your dinner check seems to take longer than it used to.

Focusing attention is effortful. And as we age it often gets harder and harder to concentrate. But focusing our attention on the task at hand is key for better memory performance... so what can we do to improve concentration AND memory?

Brain experts have long assumed that what's good for your body is also good for your brain — and we all know that regular exercise and eating right are one of the best things we can do to improve overall health and well-being.
