Tip #1 - physiCal ExERCisE
A great way to improve the health of your entire body,
including your brain, is through physical exercise. Committing
to a regular form of exercise is one of the most difficult things
to do. It requires a time commitment and dedication. The good
news is that an hour in a gym every day is not a requirement
for good health. Consistent, low-stress workouts, like a brisk
walk a few times a week or yoga, can make an impact. Even
everyday activities like gardening and cleaning promote good
brain health. The normal process of aging can put stress on
your brain, but regular exercise can help maintain fine motor
skills, improve concentration skills and support mental health.

Tip #2 - mEnTal ExERCisE
Just as proper diet and physical exercise are important, so is
directly stimulating your brain with mental exercises. Activities
such as crossword puzzles, word games and math problems
are not only fun, but also strengthen connections within your
brain. If you continue to challenge your brain, you may be able
to curb mild memory problems, and become a better problem
solver. More and more scientific evidence is showing that you
can fight aging by challenging your mind.
