Jude Walter: BrainFit coach warns people to prioritise brain health this Brain Awareness month - The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin

Experts are calling on people to look after their memory and overall health this Brain Awareness month.

Research shows the brain can grow and change - and deteriorate - over the years, so strengthening your mind is essential to stopping health conditions later on in life.

BrainFit coach Jude Walter says the brain needs a variety of challenges to stay in shape.

"Our brain is not a muscle, but it behaves very much like any muscle in our body. If I was to go to the gym and lift weights only with my left bicep, I'd have a beautiful rippling muscle on one side and nothing on the other."
