They think in terms of birthdays, knowing that the more candles on the cake, the more we should anticipate things like joint pain, lines on the face and even foggy thinking. Yet the most recent research shows us that we have the story all wrong around brain health. The brain changes we associate with aging (for example, memory loss) are far more dynamic and modifiable through the choices we make each day than people realize.

I was lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, spending a year between college and medical school working as a singing waiter in a restaurant called the Hollywood Savoy in the 2nd arrondissement. It's still open, but it looks like the waiters don't sing anymore. Tant pis. In any case, living on a French waiter's salary back then wasn't easy.
