Episode Synopsis

We know that music, pets, and exercise make us feel good - but did you know they can also make our aging brains stronger? It used to be that getting older meant forgetting more, slowing down, and acting more and more like our grandparents. But no more. We can add years to our lives and boost our brain power by learning to play an instrument, jog around the block, or even bond with our dog.Support the show: http://wnpr.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
