Is the brain shrinking?

As we age, most of our organs shrink due to the stopping of cells growth. Doesn't that mean the brain also shrinks?

Due to a study conducted by Oxford University on the elderly, researchers are saying that higher levels of vitamin B12 may make the difference between a brain that loses volume.

Naturally a shrinking brain translates in to memory loss and difficulty in problem solving and understanding and responding to questions.

Ok, now, the effect of vitamin B12 on the brain:
It is discovered that the higher the level of vitamin B12 in our body leads to less shrinkage but yes, the shrink occurs however. It is nature at work!

So, what are the sources for vitamin B12?
Since it is one of eight B vitamins that is important for the normal functioning of the brain, we must ensure proper intake of vitamin B12 containig food.

Vitamin B-12 is naturally found in meat, shellfish, milk and eggs.

Oh no, what am I going to do? I am a vegetarian?!And the fact that plants do not supply B-12 to humans makes it more difficult for me.

According to the U.K. Vegan Society, the only reliable vegan sources of B-12 are foods fortified with B-12 that includes some soy products and some breakfast cereals.
