Strengthening Your Brain

A healthy lifestyle can help keep your brain sharp as you age, preventing cognitive decline.
The American Academy of Family Physicians suggests how to stay mentally sharp as you get older:
  • Eat a healthy, balanced DIET and maintain a healthy body weight.
  • Get regular exercise, aiming for 30 minutes of exercise, at least five days per week.
  • Join a club, play a sport, volunteer or visit frequently with friends.
  • Read frequently, work puzzles and play memory games.
