Again, this starts with the brains. As we learn to rely on weakening vision, and are going through a crowd, we get bumped and look down as we lose a sense of our normal mental judgment, which is when our brain is level. But if we begin to get out of our long learned sense of balance, we an easily lose it and stare at the ground that we drive ourselves towards.

Mindful attention is the key, to pay attention as we age. If we can pay attention to what we are attending to, it is vital that the mental plasticity that is now being spoken of is crucial. We need to be aware that attention can make something more famous in our brain. If we are distracted, however, with a loud bang or other, we can be pulled away. But it is vital to increase our cognitive ability in turning on these plasticity capacities on while natural aging lets them decline.

You will get the addition bonus of a more alert, bright, and happy mind if you only stay with what you know. If you keep moving your life into transition. We are seeking comfort in our golf game, rather than challenge ourselves in trying something new tasks and challenging our minds. This is the best way, lies in our hypocampus. An example of a cyst on that portion of the brain can cause one to lose a decade of memory, and only after time they are send out to the cortex.

Best examples are in places where former stroke victims or many recent war victims where memory is lost when specific areas are damaged, whether a stroke or violence. Now the tragedy is that the natural processes of aging and damage to the brain are being rebuilt with older people through aging, as well as young people being injured in wars that should end.

Whether learning to play the piano, or through dial up the activity that brings memories of joy or happiness, are now being seen possible. It is as others have said, it is not simply a matter of getting older, it is improving our abilities and exercise our mind and retain our vitality and our personal essence.

We need to continue to live our lives in ways that keep our minds challenged and alert, our bodies well fit and flexible. And now we know the brain is so much a part of us that we all need to be trained and kept alert and able.
