You’ve heard of being “young at heart,” but what about young in the brain?
Many people especially men wonder why ladies always lie about their actual age, perhaps the reason behind the lie will shock you but the truth of the matter is women’s age are determine by brains and not the year of birth.
A new study suggests that, by at least one measure, women’s brains are biologically younger than men’s of the same age.
The researchers hypothesize that having a metabolically “younger” brain might provide women with “some degree of resilience to aging-related changes” in the brain.
This in turn may help explain why women tend to experience less of a decline in thinking abilities as they age.
The researchers noted that the difference between men and women’s brain ages was relatively small compared with other well-known sex differences, such as height.
