This might be a fine introduction or cursory overview of lifestyle choices that positively affect brain health, but offers very little to anyone with any basic knowledge of the subject. Things related to brain health, that I thought were common knowledge, are reiterated only on a very surface level. Basically....physical exercise, proper nutrition, learning a second language or musical instrument, social interaction, meditation, creativity etc. are good for boosting longterm cognitive function. Nothing profound here and very little depth, in my opinion.
