Summary: "You can become physically stronger from the comfort of your armchair just by doing exercises in your imagination. Education moulds your brain, growing new connections between brain cells, building brain power - it's not all down to genes. The more education you have in your life, the less likely you will be to suffer from dementia in old age. Talking to babies builds their intelligence. Teaching children to read properly physically builds their brains. Severe fear and stress can cause brain cells to shrink and even die. Learning to play a musical instrument as a child enlarges the left side of your brain and improves your memory. Being mentally active as you get older keeps your brain in better working order. Love grows the brain"
