If you've been experiencing increased forgetfulness or slower decision-making, it's time to pay attention. In fact, from the age of 50, the function of the prefrontal cortex, the brain's command center, begins to decline, which can easily affect cognitive functions like memory, thinking, and judgment. However, studies worldwide have shown that activities such as reading and writing kanji, calculation drills, and reading habits significantly increase blood flow in the brain compared to when at rest. Furthermore, these brain training exercises create a "sense of accomplishment." The pleasure of solving a problem correctly stimulates the brain and promotes the secretion of neurotransmitters (like dopamine). This helps to suppress irritation, anxiety, and chronic stress, thereby enhancing learning ability and motivation. In addition to brain training, moderate exercise, sunbathing, and a balanced diet are also effective in promoting the secretion of "happiness hormones." Let's maintain a youthful brain by experiencing small joys in our daily lives. The book is supervised by Mitsuo Kodama, a mental trainer for professional athletes and a right-brain activation trainer. Is your cognitive ability okay? First, check your brain age!
