"Use it or lose it" is especially true about your brain
Research indicates that keeping your brain active as you age may help to generate new brain cells and make new connections in the brain.

Stimulate your brain cells with activity

Strive to keep your mind active by engaging in brain-boosting activities.

Here are some helpful tips for a mentally engaged mind:

· Commit to lifelong learning. Intellectual curiosity, pursuit of education, reading, learning new activities and skills and even playing games are fun and easy ways to exercise your mind.
· Find a brain-stimulating activity you enjoy such as reading, crosswords, learning a new language, whatever — and engage in it regularly.
· Learn something new each month. Attend lectures, enroll in continuing education classes or join a hobby group.
· Try memory games and exercises.
· Keep a mentally engaged mind by living with a “use it or lose it” philosophy throughout life.
