A healthy brain is key to a great
quality of life. The brain, of course, figures in everything
we do – our work life, our relationships, the way
we feel and the way we perceive the world.
Any damage to
the brain — through aging, substance
abuse, trauma or other surprising factors — can affect
our quality of life adversely. At the same time, making
an effort to maintain a healthy brain can make every other
aspect
of your life more positive and more enjoyable.
