Things to Keep Your Brain Sharp and Healthy Later in Life
These behaviors and activities are proven to help keep your brain young.
Keep learning new things.
Learning new information and skills throughout your entire life helps to keep your brain strong even in the later years of life. Activities that have the highest value for brain health are novel and complex to each particular person. What is easy for one person may be challenging for another.
Exercise regularly.
Exercise can improve our energy levels, sense of well-being, sleep, and brain health. Identifying why we do not exercise permits us to systematically break down our barriers, and to slowly change our behaviors towards a healthy lifestyle.
Socialize and have fun!
Friends provide opportunities to enable the sharing of experiences, new learning, challenge, emotions, trust, and understanding. Friendship also provides the necessary motivation towards activity and involvement. Engaging in new pursuits with friends often helps develop new life roles, which provide us with an opportunity to feel appreciated, enjoy life, laugh, and have fun.
Be health conscious.
It is important for us to take control of our health and understand that we are in charge of managing of our bodies. Once we establish our own role in the management of our health, the importance of a close and trusting relationship with our physician becomes apparent.
Slow down and appreciate the silence.
Our brains require time to process information more deeply, in order to gain more benefit from our daily experiences. A fast-paced lifestyle can cause chronic stress and have other negative effects on our health and well-being. Reducing demands we place on ourselves is an important step towards stress reduction, and a more fulfilling life.
