Keep your brain busy

Increased mental activity can protect against age-related memory loss and impaired brain function. Dr. Thomas Crook, author of “The Memory Cure”, says keeping the mind occupied can help prevent the loss of brain stimulation and keeps your brain building new spines of dendrites, which receive impulses from neurons. They are damaged by ageing, but exercising the mind can make them grow. Here are some helpful tips that Dr Crook suggests:

1) Cutting back on TV

2) Reading thought-provoking material instead of mindless page-turners.

3) xercising your memory everyday, even if it’s only memorising your shopping list
