What can we do to keep our brain healthy, fit and functioning well for as long as possible? Physical activity, meditation and a healthy lifestyle are increasingly recognized as important factors in maintaining brain health. But what does the research actually tell us about their impact – and what does this mean for healthy ageing?
In an in-depth interview with the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina, Prof. Dr. Emrah Düzel, neurologist at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg and spokesperson of the DZNE Magdeburg site, discusses the latest findings from brain research. He explains how we can support brain health as we age and what role physical activity, meditation and our lifestyle can play.
