How “SuperAgers” Keep Their Memory Sharp

“SuperAgers” are adults whose brains perform 20–30 years younger than their peers on memory tests. What’s surprising? Their advantage isn’t genetics, brain games, or caffeine. Instead, researchers identified a specific brain function that appears to protect memory—and it can be supported at almost any age.

NativePath breaks down this research in a short, reader-friendly guide explaining what Northwestern discovered, why it matters, and how some people report feeling sharper in as little as 45 minutes. If you’re over 55 and want to preserve your memory the smart way, this is worth a look. Read the Northwestern discovery.
