There is no limit to how much you can fit in there, it is just a matter of constantly learning in order to improve your speed. There are people who are older than 60 and have issues remembering names, which is quite common, but when this comes earlier than that, its something to worry about. Overall keep using your brain and stimulating it in order to avoid any unnecessary problems that come along with a rusty brain.

I liked this article because it is totally true and I've seen examples of these personally as well. Its so fascinating to see how people who may not have any education background are so smart and have a sharp brain. There are many people who incorrectly associate memory loss with smartness and this should show how they have misunderstood the situation. I would like to see what kinds of stimulation sharpens the brain, because some activity should naturally be better than others and i would like to know what it is. It is totally true that the more you use your brain, the smarter you will be, whether it be book smart or street smart.
