Exercise Your Mind
Mental stimulation improves brain function as we age and protects against cognitive decline. Use it or lose it. The Franklin Institute says that even in old age, new neurons develop. Most age-related loss in memory and motor skills results from inactivity and lack of mental exercise and stimulation. Read, engage in stimulating conversation about current events with a partner, spouse or friend and try learning a new word or fact each day.
