This is the research finding of a teamof Japanese doctors, who say that most our brains are not getting enough exercisesand as a result ,weare ageing unnecessarily soon.Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japanappeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age ,and how the process ofageing could be slowed down.With a team a colleague at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes ofa thousand people of different ages and varying occupations.Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volumeof the front and side sections of the brain, which no late to intellect and emotion, and determine thehuman character. The rear section of the and brain, which controls functions like eating and breaking,does not contract with age, and on can continue living without intellectual or emotional facilities.Contraction of front and side parts as cells die off was observed in some subjects in theirthirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty and seventy year olds.Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is simple remedy to contraction normallyassociated with age using the head.The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in thecountry that in the towns. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by universityprofessors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however,as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants.Matsuzawas findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood mustcirculate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells says, The best way tomaintain good blood circulation is through using brain, he says, Think hard and engage inconversation. Dont rely on pocket calculators.36. The team of doctors wanted to find out _ .A. how to make people live longerB. the size of certain peoples brainsC. which people are most intelligentD. why certain people age sooner than others37.
