Brain Health Awareness—Staying Sharp

brain health

A healthy body is a common topic.  But what about a healthy brain?  Brain health is something we should all be aware of and ready to cope with as we age.

A basic healthy brain begins with:

  • Regular physical exercise
  • Proper food and nutrition
  • Sound medical health
  • Adequate sleep and relaxation
  • A fit mind
  • An active social life

As they say, a sound body leads to a sound mind.  Studies show that those with a healthy body and regular exercise routine suffer less from the effects of dementia and Alzheimer’s in their later years.

Eating right puts the right nutrients into your body and bloodstream.

If you regularly see your doctor and make an effort to stay healthy your mind should follow suit.

Sleep and relaxation are how your body, and mind, recharge.

Keeping your mind sharp with regular stimulation—doing that crossword in the Sunday paper, for example—will help you stay mentally on top of things.

Having an active social life with circles of friends keeps your mind—and smile—working.  Remembering names, engaging in conversation, keeps your brain running smoothly.
