The secret to a younger brain is foreign languages. Speaking more than one language rejuvenates the brain by at least 13 years, and this confirms as always that culture and knowledge are invaluable.

The result of a research presented at the Federation of European Neurosciences in Barcelona is not unexpected, because speaking languages other than the mother tongue has only benefits.

But this time science has confirmed through calculations in years that it affects organism.

The research work has included about 900 volunteers from the Basque countries, who, precisely because of the location, speak more than one language, among them Basque, Spanish or French.

By comparing the biological cerebral age with the real one, it turned out that speaking more languages brings extraordinary benefits, in such order that someone who speaks two languages had a brain 6 years younger, and who spoke 4, including mother tongue, 13 years younger.
