We all are dead without a brain. We can get a liver, heart, or even kidney but not a brain. The brain is the only organ in the human body that cannot be transplanted. Hence, our master organ is incredible.

It is known that many changes will happen in our body when we get older. It is important to care for our brain's health as we age.

What happens to the brain as we age?

The brain is our master organ. It's important to maintain a healthy brain during our lifetime. As we age, we find difficulties finding words and recalling names from our memory.

Our brain may shrink in size, and the communications between the neurons in certain regions may be lost or inefficient.

Neurons are the functional units of the nervous system. It cannot be regenerated once it degenerates.

Brain aging is inevitable. But, we can follow some tips to maintain it healthy. Here are some of the social and healthy factors that help to protect and preserve our brain function.
