Pandemic stress may have aged your brain by 5.5 months, new study finds

A new study reveals that living through the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated brain aging by about five and a half months, even for those who weren't infected. Researchers attribute this to the stress and disruptions caused by the pandemic. Men, the elderly, and those with compromised health were affected the most. Although the study didn't focus on reversing brain aging, experts recommend maintaining brain health through a healthy diet, exercise, and adequate sleep, particularly in stressful times.
