Advanced | 年轻的心态有益我们大脑的健康 | Keep Young At Heart Is Good For Our Brain Health | Mandarin Chinese Story

The brain is the most complex organ in our bodies, and while scientists are pretty sure what functions different parts of the brain are responsible for, but for many brain-related diseases still remain as a mystery. However, there is one thing for certain, the secrets to keep our brain healthy is to stay young at our hearts. Data from a group of South Korean scientists shows that people who think they are younger than their actual age are more likely to score better on memory tests. They were also less likely to be depressed. People who feel younger have a younger brain structure. And those who feel older may have come to terms with their true age, a perception that limits their actions and makes them less active, further affecting their cognitive abilities. If you have any thoughts on this theory, please let us know. We’ll see you tomorrow!Join other motivated Chinese learners on your journey with maayot.
