We now know for a fact with certainty that adult humans are producing new brain cells all the time.

And there are things that increase it, such as exercise.

So I strongly recommend exercise above all the other

five pillars of brain health.

Exercise is really the fountain of youth.

If you want to have, if you want to do one thing and one thing only,

It would be to exercise about three hours a week and maintain a level of fitness.

You should be able to go up to flights of stairs like that.

You should be able to walk three miles like that.

It shouldn't be a big deal to do these things.

You should have flexibility in your body.

Whether it's yoga or Tai Chi or just stretching that you could do by yourself to make sure that your body parts are lubricated and not stiff, because as you get older, you may be at higher risk of falls.

When you exercise with weight training, you strengthen your muscles and you increase myokines, which are proteins from the muscle which go to the brain and have neuroprotective properties.

So my exercise is a no-brainer.

Yes.

See, this is what we need to advertise.

This is what we need to tell more and more people that if you maintain a level of fitness and have a decent diet and make sure you sleep well, you get your 80s and you enjoy life.

It's not just you live longer.

You're actually enjoying your 80s.
