Experts now say the brain can continue to add new functions and regenerate new cells even when you get older. DHA is advised as a nutritional supplement for your brain. It is one of the building blocks. As with the body, EXERCISE is crucial for the brain, in order to make the best use of nutrients you are so careful to make available for excellent functioning. Physical exercise improves circulation in the brain as well as strengthening the body.

Some activities advised to keep your brain active include:

            Do some activities every day that are beyond your usual comfort zone.

            Memorize long lists, which helps your memory to continue working, or even improve.

            Playing a musical instrument involves different parts of the brain, and helps children in school

                       to make new mental connections in other subjects, such as mathematics.

            Try activities with your non-dominant hand, such as writing with your left hand if you are
                        right handed, or brushing your teeth with your left hand.

            Dancing helps the brain, as learning the steps cross-trains all parts of the brain.

            Games like Scrabble, puzzles, and many more, challenge the mind.

            Do get enough rest for optimal mental functioning.
