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.

    The aim of this neighborhood service is to develop knowledge
    and understanding of the completeness of utilization procedures of Ventolin Inhalers
    by using videos as visual coaching to achieve expected therapeutic effect and help asthma patients in controlling/avoiding
    asthma relapse. The mostly used preventer asthma medications in Australia contain an inhaled
    corticosteroid (which is anti-inflammatory) and a long-acting
    bronchodilator, which is a symptom controller-a really
    perfect mixture. People who find themselves
    prescribed common asthma preventer medications should proceed to take them throughout the COVID-19 season to
    maximise their probabilities of staying well. Correct
    preventer use might lead to so few symptoms you might not
    must take reliever medications for many weeks and even months.
    Sadly, there was a latest run on the reliever salbutamol
    in Australian pharmacies. Many individuals believe their
    asthma is being treated in the event that they use their blue reliever inhaler as wanted.
    Asthma is an obstructive chronic pulmonary illness which
    causes shortness of breath and requires distinct diagnostic methods and treatment management.
