Brain is a vital part of the body and needs our constant attention. Here are a few tips to keep it fit.
Many of us don't
bother a lot about our fading memory. A startling observation has come
out in a study carried out by the University of Virginia in the US.
Memory problems can surface as early as in somebody's 20s.
Researchers
noted that by the age of 27, brain-speed, puzzle solving capabilities
and abstract reasoning take a hit in most people. There's no need to
ring the alarm bells on reading, it wouldn't happen that you'll forget
your girl's name but at the same time it's important that you realise
that brain is a vital part of the body and needs your constant
attention. Here's how you can keep it fit:
Stay Active
Staying
physically fit is favourable for the brain as well. It is very likely
to magnify the size of your hippocampus - the region of the brain
connected to long-term recall. Jogging and swimming are a boon for the
brain, however, anything that gets you blood flowing can be handy.
Eat Healthy
What's
good for your heart is good for your head - this may not hold otherwise
but it makes
perfect sense if you care for your brain. Experts advise an
anti-oxidant-rich diet, coupled with omega-3 fatty acids to maintain a
healthy brain.
Organise and Visualise
Get
involved in various mental exercises. Teach yourself mental prompts. If
you need to remember numerous different items, try organisinf them into
smaller bunches. Take your credit card number. You probably know it by
heart as it is already arranged into groups of four.
Play and Relax
Contrary
to what some people say, video games don't ruin your brain. In fact,
there are several games which help to strengthen and train your brain.
Relaxing is also big stressbuster.
