How To Keep Your Mind Sharp

Aging takes a toll on the brain. The brain literally
shrinks as we age, losing up to 10% of its size. Research
on aging shows that seniors experience declines in many
key areas of cognitive function.
Here are five activities you can incorporate into your life
to help keep your mind sharp and your brain nourished:

 Exercise:
It has long been understood that the mind and body are
interconnected. What benefits the body will benefit the
brain. Regular exercise goes a long way to keeping the
brain healthy.

 Read a book:
Reading is beneficial on multiple levels. When you read,
not only do you absorb the information contained in the
book, but the act of reading itself builds connections
within the brain that make it more versatile.

 Eat right:
Many foods, including nuts, fish and red wine, have been
linked to a healthy brain. But concentrating on an
all-around healthy diet may be the best nutritional
strategy for keeping the brain sharp. And don’t skip
breakfast!

Maintain good posture:
Maintaining an upright, un-slouched posture improves
circulation and blood-flow to the brain.

 Sleep well:
A good night’s sleep is vitally important to a healthy
mind, especially memory. Get enough sleep and, if
necessary, take naps.


It’s important to note that there are no clinically proven
ways to reverse the course of brain diseases like
Alzheimer’s, but leading a healthy lifestyle that’s both
socially and intellectually stimulating combats normal,
age-related mental decline, and may decrease the risk of
developing Alzheimer’s and other kinds of dementia.
