Stay Mentally Active
Mental decline as you age appears to be largely due to altered
connections among brain cells. But research has found that keeping the
brain active seems to increase its vitality and may build its reserves
of brain cells and connections. You could even generate new brain cells.
You don’t have to turn your life upside down, or make extreme changes
to achieve many of these benefits. Start with something small, like a
daily walk. After a while, add another small change
Keep your brain active every day:
- Stay curious and involved — commit to lifelong learning
- Read, write, work crossword or other puzzles
- Attend lectures and plays
- Enroll in courses at your local adult education center, community college or other community group
- Play games
- Garden
- Try memory exercises
