Keep Your Brain Working
Many people are too concerned about keeping their body in shape and forget their brain needs exercise, too. To keep your brain in tiptop condition, you need to give it a daily workout. You can keep your mental function sharp with a few simple neuro-boosters. Try testing exercises such as crosswords or Sudoku puzzles (you could buy a book or get them from newspapers), or video games that require an alert mind and focus. You could also learn a new language or go back to school. You could also join your kids as they try to figure out difficult jigsaw puzzles or building blocks. In addition, eat some brain-friendly food such as oily fish including tuna and salmon. Meditation and reading are also good exercises for the brain.
