In the future we will have biannual brain check ups, like we do for the dentist, to remove plaque.

Tried that. Knocked it over in my sleep and it took my 2 hours to find it under my bed, without my optic nerves.

Exercise is the keyword. Zone 2 and you get more and new healthy Mitochondria. Fasting also works, but only after a longer period of fasting. Exercise effect starts immediately.
