(BPT) - Just like our muscles, our brain functions at its best when it's given a "workout." Challenging your mental acuity — whether through reading, playing word games, completing puzzles or taking on math challenges — is a great way to keep your brain in top shape. Staying sharp as we age, though, is a whole-body activity. While changes in brain structure and function can potentially slow us down, declining coordination and "reduced ability to modify movements to respond to changes in the environment" can also impact our ability to react.
