• Power Of The Mind
Yaakov Stern, professor of neurophysiology at Columbia
University in New York, then 1,800 adults for seven years and found that most
social outings and hobbies pursued - as playing cards, attending conferences, gardening - lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, one of the most
devastating forms of cognitive impairment. "All these things give a
certain amount of stimulation of the brain, reinforcing mechanisms and help
with troubleshooting" he says. Use the following tips to keep in shape
mentally.
• Stay Active Socially
No need to go from introvert to extrovert overnight.
"Just join a social group is a step forward," says Denise Park, T.
Boone Pickens Distinguished Chair in Brain Science, University of Texas, Dallas
Finding a cooking club or book club. - Or better yet, organize. Select books
outside their area of spiritual comfort.
• Love To Learn

• Explore Extensively
Always travels you can, if it is as simple as a day trip to
the museum or festival in a nearby town, or as difficult as a visit to a
foreign country where you do not speak the language. "Travel can be
mentally and socially stimulating," says Park, "especially when a new
language involved."
• Volunteering Volunteer
If you're like most people, often "voluntarily"
for many things, but the real benefits come when you get into a noble pursuit
of their own choice. Identify new needs of his book from the local library and
design a diversion of funds. Find a way to realize this community park. Bite
great legacy project at least once in their life.
• Faithfully Exercise
As the heart goes, so does the brain. If your cardiovascular
system is healthy, your brain will too. This can not be stressed enough:
Studies repeatedly show that regular exercise is one of the best things you can
do to mental health. A study by the University of Illinois found that walking
45 minutes three times a week for six weeks significantly improved mental
ability of older people with dementia without. After six months, the brains of
Walker became even larger in size, appears more like the brain of some two or
three years younger. Walk, take a dance class, go swimming, doing what moves
can move.
• Know About Nutrition
There will be a genius of the food you eat, but that does
not mean that some options are not smarter than others. Go in many fruits,
vegetables, nuts, legumes, healthy oils (such as olive oil), and lean sources
of protein to keep your heart and your head, healthy.
• Manage Your Stress
Chronic stress is the enemy of a healthy brain. It may hurt
memory and attention and even kill neurons for the long term. Finding a source
to relieve stress that works for you.
