Brain exercises to help you flex your mental muscles. Be social It sounds like a cheat, but getting out and having fun with friends and family is a great way to stimulate your brain — especially while doing fun, new activities.
Want your brain to be healthy for the rest of your life? Treating it right is the first step. Just remember, when you feed your body, you feed your brain — so feed it something healthy! Stay social: Staying social is important in every stage of life, but recent research shows a link between isolation and an increased risk of dementia in older adults. Having strong connections with other individuals is beneficial to many areas of cognition — including memory and language.
Volunteer, find a friend or a group that shares similar interests, call someone on the phone. Even online social networking sites can be beneficial in increasing and improving social ties. If you have more interest in research about cognitive health, especially in older adults, go to www.

Flex Your Brain April 05, By Alexander Germanis As we age, the fight to stay fit and strong can certainly get harder and harder, but it also becomes more and more vital.
Not engaging in regular physical activity can lead to muscle atrophy, or the loss of muscle tissue, in as little as three days. A workout regimen and proper diet can make all the difference in staying strong, healthy, and yes, even feeling younger.
Not a Muscle, But Close While exercise for the brain does not involve pumping iron, the main organ in the central nervous system does benefit from the same things muscles do and, consequently, suffers from poor health choices. Stress can play havoc on how we feel physically, but in the brain stress can deplete the stores of beneficial chemicals and even prevent the brain from repairing itself. Stress also impairs the ability to think clearly and quickly.
A lack of sleep, vitamin D, and water also affects the brain, inhibiting memory, concentration, and even influencing mood. As the brain is nearly three-quarters water, a lack of proper hydration can result in effects similar to those of dementia. According to the UK Natural Hydration Council, consuming at least 67 to 84 ounces for women and men respectively per day is necessary for proper brain health.
Of course physical exercise benefits brain function as well. While the brain itself is not going to increase in size as a result of lifting weights, its operation does improve. A study published in the Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society illustrated a simple workout session immediately improves cognition.
