Caring for the mind is caring for life.
📖 Learn new things
New knowledge creates new neural connections in the brain
Examples: read books, listen to audio books, learn new language, solve crossword puzzles, or learn something new.
🏋️ Stay physically active
Physical activity improves blood flow in the brain
Examples: go for a walk, do light exercises, ride a bike, dance or work in the garden.
🎭 Socialize
Socializing and connecting with others help protect the brain
Examples: talk with family and friends, socialize with neighbors, join a club, or participate in community activities.
🥗 Eat healthy
Averied and healthy diet is fuel for your mind
Examples: Eat more fruits and vegetables, fish, nuts (walnuts, almonds), lentils, beans, and whole grains.
🛌 Get enough sleep
Quality sleep is essential for a good memory.
Examples: Go to bed and wake up at about the same time each day, establish a calm bedtime routine, and avoid coffee and using your phone late at night.
Memory games are a great way to exercise your brain.
Play every day for at least 10-15min
