In our last post, we talked about aging in general or the signs of aging and how to reduce them. Though it is true that aging cannot be stopped, it is also true that you are as old as you think yourself to be. It depends on your brain or thoughts. If you can think like a young mind, your body will respond accordingly and you’ll feel young. Here, the role or thought process of male or female brains comes into picture.

It is a great news for women, because now they can proudly claim to be mentally younger than their biological age.However, in some women, metabolic rate declines very fast around menopause, which may lead to Alzheimer’s disease.
An assistant professor of radiology and neurology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, says “Females had a younger brain age relative to males,”

The same is true for development of their creative skills, which develop more as girls start maturing. This is partially due to the structural difference between male and female brains.
You must have noticed that girls in general speak more than boys. The reason behind this is that they have verbal centres on both sides of the brain. Males have verbal centre only on the left side.
