| Fancy anti-ageing face creams are all very well, but how many of us stop to think about the importance of keeping our brains young? With the average lifespan tipped to rise to 100, we're living longer lives and asking more of our bodies than ever. But losing our memories doesn't have to be part of the pact.
A study at the Massachusetts General Hospital found that a small number of "super agers" in their 60s and 70s could perform memory tests as well as people in their 20s. Fortunately, being a super ager isn't simply luck of the draw. Scientists have discovered that far from being genetic, there are lots of environmental factors affecting brain health and ageing.
