It’s true the brain changes as we get older – what doesn’t? And a normal part of that is getting a bit more forgetful. In fact by age 19, our ability to solve problems in a novel way starts to decline. Losing your car keys or forgetting your mother in law’s birthday are examples of normal forgetfulness. It’s getting lost in a familiar place that indicates you might be experiencing a more serious cognitive issue. But getting dementia or a serious cognitive condition such as Alzheimer’s disease doesn’t have to be a normal part of aging. There are a number of strategies that you can employ to keep your mind agile through the decades.

Here are 10 ways to take care of your brain and keep your short-term memory sharp like the proverbial tack.

1. Eat a Brain-Healthy Diet

Researchers found that following the Mediterranean diet, which focuses on healthy fats like olive oil, fish, vegetables and a moderate amount of wine can reduce your risk of dementia by 20 percent over four years. Other brain-loving foods include blueberries walnuts, salmon and broccoli.

2. Enjoy Regular Exercise

Getting a combination of aerobic exercise like tennis, cycling or walking, along with strength training can increase your cognitive function. Even 20 minutes can be effective for keeping your brain agile. And by the way, no one said exercise had to be drudgery, If you like salsa or swing dancing, by all means do that as your exercise. Just be sure to work up a sweat regularly, on average five times a week.

    I think that what you typed was actually very reasonable.
    But, think about this, suppose you added a little information?
    I ain't suggesting your information is not good, but suppose you added something to possibly get folk's attention? I mean IPS Matavén - 10 Ways to Keep Your Mind Sharp at Any Age is kinda vanilla.
    You ought to glance at Yahoo's front page and watch how they create post titles to
    grab viewers to click. You might try adding a video or a picture or two to
    grab readers excited about everything've got to say.
    In my opinion, it might make your posts a little livelier.

    hackers? I'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard on. Any tips?

    know a few of the pictures aren't loading correctly.
    I'm not sure why but I think its a linking issue.
