Just how healthy is your brain?

A friend sent me over to this fellow's blog, The Rat Race Trap -- Tools to improve your mind and escape the trap. Mr. Rat Race became aware of how his health -- especially his ability to use his brain -- had slipped from his 20s, and decided to see if there was something he could do about it. Turns out there is, and here are a few of his essays (with links) on the care and feeling of your brain. Things have changed quickly in this field, and there's a lot of new info, so it's worth taking a look when you have a few moments.

To sum up what I've read on his site: Do you want to spend the rest of your life doing and being things, or sitting on a couch somewhere drooling? Me, I'm into doing and being. So I'm going to take a break from the work and walk to the mailbox (that's a mile for me, BTW.)
