Guest guest Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 A Boost for Your Memory Feel like your memory is getting worse with every passing birthday? It happens to all of us as we age, but a growing body of medical evidence suggests that lifelong stimulation is the key to building brain cells, staving off memory loss and maybe even preventing Alzheimer's disease. Research has found that doing interesting work (paid or volunteer), pursuing hobbies and engaging in an active social life can help. Try challenging yourself with music, language lessons, or a new computer program; plan a trip with friends; or just hunker down with a good crossword puzzle this weekend - anything that makes you think in different ways is challenging for the brain - and beneficial to your memory. And while you're at it, do it all with a smile. Studies show that a positive emotional state is also good for your brain. -- Diana Gonzalez Nothing wastes more energy than worrying - the longer a problem is carried, the heavier it gets. Don't take things too seriously - live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets. -Unknown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
