Overview

Cognitive aging refers to the natural decline in cognitive abilities such as memory, processing speed, and problem-solving skills as people age. This process varies among individuals, influenced by genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Maintaining brain health is crucial in mitigating the effects of cognitive aging. Regular physical exercise, a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, and mental stimulation through activities like reading, puzzles, and social engagement are beneficial. Adequate sleep and stress management also play significant roles. Emerging research suggests that interventions like mindfulness meditation and cognitive training programs can further support cognitive resilience. While cognitive decline is a normal part of aging, proactive lifestyle choices and interventions can help preserve cognitive function and enhance overall brain health, promoting a higher quality of life in older adulthood. This book traces the progress of this field and highlights some of its key concepts and theories. This book includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to cognitive aging and brain health. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
