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.

    You really make it seem so easy along with your presentation but I
    in finding this topic to be actually something that I believe I would by no
    means understand. It sort of feels too complicated and extremely huge for me.
    I am having a look ahead in your next submit, I'll try to get the dangle of it! http://Beneficialfinancialservices.com/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php?d=http://Www.previo.co.kr%2Fbbs%2Fboard.php%3Fbo_table%3Dqa%26wr_id%3D1176

    Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add
    to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.
    I've been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like
    this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your
    blog and I look forward to your new updates. https://Cl-system.jp/question/dosseret-de-cuisine-blanc-sur-le-quebec-elegance-et-fonctionnalite-13/

    Currently it appears like Wordpress is the top blogging platform out there right now.
    (from what I've read) Is that what you're using on your blog?
