If you don't keep your mind active, studies have shown that your brain loses some of its functionality as you age.
What forms do this take? Memory loss, brain fog, and even Alzheimer's.
So what can you do to keep your mind well-stimulated?
Activity.
Below are exercises and brain boosting activities.
Note: To get the most out of these brain boosting activities, mix them up and do a variety of them at different times. Just choosing one won't boost your brainpower, however, combining and alternating them will give your brain the added boost you need now and in the long run.

Reading stimulates the brain as it activates your imagination.
Reading also helps with memory retention and problem solving, especially if you're reading a mystery. Also, self-help books stimulate your brain by helping you to think for yourself, as well as find solutions in your mind.

Sleep.
Don't underestimate the power of sleep. Our lives are so hectic and chaotic that most of us dont get adequate sleep.
Sleep clears out brain clutter and reduces brain fog. When you don't get enough sleep at night, your memory and normal brain function suffers.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 -

Omega-3's (Fish & Krill Oil).
Taking high-quality fish oil supplements is literally like membrane material for the brain. The two primary components in fish oil, DHA and EPA, strengthen the emotional center of the brain and boost focus.
** I personally take super high quality omega-3's DAILY.
Most of the fish oil you see or buy on the shelves at the store are useless or rancid.0 0 0 0 0 0 0
