4 Steps to keep Your Mind sharp

4 STEPS TO KEEP YOUR MIND SHARP

Regular physical activity helps keep your heart, lungs, and muscles in condition and can stave off the effects of aging. In much the same manner, exercising your brain can help keep your mind sharp and your memory intact. Here are two ways to activate your brain.

Keep learning and growing

A higher stage of teaching is linked to better mental performance in old years. Experts think that advanced education may help keep memory strong by getting a person into the habit of being mentally active. Challenging your mind with mental practice is thought to activate processes that help maintain individual brain cells and stimulate communication among them. Many people have jobs that keep them mentally active, but pursuing a hobby, learning a new skill, or volunteering for a project at work that involves a skill you don’t usually use can function the same way.

Engage yourself in some Art

Many of us learn about the benefits of meditation but sometimes find it difficult to make out.  Fewer of us know about the profound benefits of artistic expression. Creating art, however, is another way to access a meditative state of mind and the profound healing it brings. “Art is a guarantee to sanity,” said Louise Bourgeois, a French-American artist

An Apple a Day

It’s self-evident, that a fit and healthy individual won’t spend as much money for health care as the average unfit person. But being fit doesn’t only save your money today, it will likely do so in the future as well. A 2012 study by the University of Texas-South western and the Cooper Institute examined the health care costs of 20,000 middle-age men and women over a 10-year period. The study concluded that the healthiest participants had 38 percent lower medical costs later in life than participants who were not fit.

Strengthen your memory

Memory is our most vital mental faculty. Strengthening memory is an important component.

Learn a new word every day

Learning new words not only enriches one’s understanding of the world but also enhances the brain’s language centres and the prefrontal lobes where judgment and executive function are mediated.
