RealAge Tip of the Day
Monday, January 24

Don't put up with chronic pain. Doing so could age your brain.
A small decrease in gray matter is a normal part of advanced aging.
Chronic pain appears to lead to similar declines, a new study revealed.
The longer the study participants lived with chronic pain, the greater was
their loss of neocortical gray matter, regardless of age. Seek treatment
promptly for chronic pain to help keep your brain young.
