JOG YOUR MEMORY – TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR BRAIN

img_2624

As we age, memory loss becomes a factor. It is not always the result of a degenerative neurological disease. There are many factors than can contribute to your memory seeming to slip away.  Some of those are:

  • Poor nutrition
  • Sleep deprivation
  • Poor circulation
  • Stress

Along with managing the factors listed above, we need to constantly stimulate our brain and make it work harder.

This can be done in a very light hearted, non-stressful, socially active manner. Mental acuity can be attained through a variety of fun mental games.

Examples of these are:

  • Scrabble
  • Crosswords puzzles
  • Jigsaw puzzles
  • Dominoes
  • Sudoku
  • Card games

Think of this type of activity as MENTAL FLOSS.
