JAKARTA - Young people are not necessarily young in the brain. It should be noted that the brain can age earlier than the chronological age, age calculated based on date and birth year.
The age of the brain depends on the health of a person, a lifestyle, and a person's personality. There are several things that indicate a youthful brain, ranging from the ability to speak more than one language to being able to focus on the moments that are happening (mindful).
On the other hand, there are also signs that the brain is aging faster than the chronological age to watch out for. Anything? Check out the following reviews quoted from Healthline.
1. Be a cynical person
Someone who suddenly turns very cynical is a sign that the brain experiences faster aging. This can happen because a person experiences stress.
The effect of the hormone cortisol, aka the stress hormone, is unhealthy for the brain and prevents a person from thinking clearly. If your view of the world tends to be cynical, negative, then try to actively change your mindset to a more positive direction so that the brain remains healthy.
2. Forgetting
Forgetting various things in everyday life is also a marker of the brain experiencing a faster aging process. Such as forgetting to reply to chat, forgetting to put the house key, to other forgetfulness that disturbs yourself to those around you. If you experience this often, you should consult a professional to get treatment.
3. Difficult to concentrate
Another sign of the brain aging faster is the difficulty of concentrating consistently. Attention that is easily distracted is a sign of cognitive aging. This sign usually appears at the age of 30 and can be a sign of Alzheimer's disease as well.

4. Fatigue and sleepiness during the day
Fatigue and sleepiness during working hours or during the day indicates that the brain lacks rest, as well as leads to physical changes in the brain, which are related to aging. Therefore, it is important to maintain sleep and quality for the sake of brain health.
"Stide is a very important brain protection," said neurology professor Neil Graff-Radford.
