Brain maintenance tips;

I know we always cover topics that relate to the outside of the body and to a lesser degree, the inside as well, but today i want to touch upon an often overlooked organ that is as equally important, the brain. While thumbing through my latest issue of psychology today, i came across an article titled, "Brain maintenance tips" and felt i should share this with you all. We do not need to worry so much about our brains when we are young, it is however, a necessity as we grow older to keep our brains active and sharp by not only working out but by challenging our brains on a daily basis as well to ward off such diseases as alzheimer's disease. Psychology today recommends these tips;
1. Exercise your mind by reading, playing challenging games and following current affairs.
2. Exercise your body to help your heart and blood vessels healthy and increase blood flow to the brain.
3. Eat a healthy diet to provide your brain with plenty of fuel.
4. Get a good night's sleep to help you retain information.
5. Stay socially active and learn new hobbies to engage your imagination.
Get into good, positive habits while you are young in order to keep your brain working as well as it is now, well into your golden years.
