Even Motor Cyclists do it.

You wouldn't normally see a post like this on a motorcycle blog, but one of my main interests is the fitness and health of the aging athlete (and athlete wannabes). Brain health - the ability to focus and concentrate, absorb new information, retain what we've learned, etc. - is critical to staying active and healthy over the long term. Too much of what we've accepted as natural consequences of aging are little more than a misunderstanding of how the brain works.See the link at top
Medina is a molecular biologist and delves into how the biology of the brain affects our ability to function, and how many of the things we believe to be true about brain function really aren't. Jim highlights 12 rules Medina uses to organize the story in his book:
1. Exercise boosts brain power
2. The human brain evolved, too
3. Every brain is wired differently
4. We don’t pay attention to boring things
5. Repeat to remember
6. Remember to repeat
7. Sleep well, think well
8. Stressed brains don’t learn the same way
9. Stimulate more of the senses
10. Vision trumps all other senses
11. Male and female brains are different
12. We are powerful and natural explorers
