These days we keep reading bad news about the reduction of the brain when we get older and the huge impact on us. As brain for a big part is also the source of our personality and we would change dramatically if that happens. Reason enough to do as much as we can while we are still healthy to avoid these developments. Here are the top ten tips for mental fitness:
-
Think of your life as lifelong learning process. Anybody can learn in any age. Even in your 70s it can be helpful for your next trip to a foreign country overseas to learn another language.
-
Stay curious allways and whereever you are; embrace new experiences and encounters. You are widening your mental horizon.
-
Let your phantasy play whenever possible. This is the best way to keep your brain young and sometimes in human history even led to amazing new discoveries.
-
Dont be shy to fool around and be silly sometimes even in higher ages. As we all know laughing is best medicine and the positive hormons can help you keep your body healthy.
-
In older age go on a journey of discovery into your inner self. Perhaps you feel so far undiscovered hidden talents; keep developing and maintaining them. This will keep your mind flexible and thus your actions. You will not get stuck in frozen categories.
-
If you notice you keep forgetting important information, do it as the drop of water – cove the stone. Keep repeating important information and amaze your friends with your knowledge. Keeps you fit and is fun!
-
Even if you are stressed by your job keep going to social events and clubbing. Every experience will be stored in your brain, enrich your horizon and build new brain connections.
-
Meet with friends frequently and socialize. Each conversation has some challenges for you and your brain.
-
Take part in discussions, be it local affairs or world politics. You sharpen your intellect!
-
Do something for your body on a regular basis, too. Eat healthy. A healthy body is the palace for a good brain.
