Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp
Everyone is forgetful, but as we
age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit—and that can be a very
annoying thing. Read on for some techniques worth trying.
⒈
People who regularly made plans
and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of
Alzheimer's disease (阿茨海默症), according to a recent study. Something as simple as setting a goal to have
a weekly coffee date with a friend will do. There's evidence that people who
have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals appear to
do better. In other words, keep your brain looking forward.
⒉Go for a walk.
Mildly raised glucose (葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of
the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood
glucose down to normal levels. In fact, exercise produces chemicals that are
good for your brain.
⒊Learn something new.
Take a Spanish class online, join
a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of
aging on memory and the mind. But the best thing for your brain is when you
learn something new and are physically active at the same time. Or go dancing with your friends.
A. Focus on the future.
B. This can be especially harmful to the aged.
C. It should be something like learning gardening.
D. So take a few minutes each day to do some reading.
E. But don't worry if your schedule isn't filled
with life-changing events.
F. Luckily, research shows there is a lot you can do
to avoid those moments.
G. In other words, when you take care of your body, you
take care of your brain.
