3. Myth: Your brain is no longer active and stops developing
And no, you do not stop developing after age 5. This is just another myth that was created some 30 years ago. As long as you do not lead a passive lifestyle and keep reading books, studying and learning new languages, your brain continues developing. You can be smarter than you were last year even if you are now at your 60’s. Make your brain work and be actively engaged in various challenging activities.
4. Myth: Genes are responsible for your aging processes
Genes do play some certain role but only if you follow a healthy lifestyle. You cannot expect to look young and feel strong and healthy at an older age simply because you were born in a perfectly healthy family. If you drink, do drugs, never exercise, then your aging processes will be different.
