That’s all well and good, because your brain runs on heavy fuel. It vacuums up two out of every ten calories you consume. If you’re swaying in the hammock under a shady tree and contemplating life’s mysteries (or havin...

A good night’s rest facilitates that nightly brainwash, which prevents disease and slows down the brain’s aging process. Images b...
