When entering the age of 30, the ability to think someone could have started to decline. Even at the age of 60, aging nerve cells in the brain can not be avoided, so that often triggers dementia or dementia.

Although this aging process can not be avoided, but no attempt was made to dementia can be avoided or at least postponed. According to experts, depression and dementia can be avoided with healthy lifestyle habit and cognitive stimulation in order to make the brain cells continue to be active. Thus, nerve cells will continue to produce the neurotransmitter substance of the brain needed.

Well .. so that your brain's ability is maintained until old age. There's a good idea to do some activity below the age adjusted.

30s:

Flossing every day:
Habits like candy and forget about flossing is common. Both contributed to cause dental plaque, and also turned out very bad on your brain.

"Slap in the tooth can cause an immune reaction that can attack the arteries, which can not send vital nutrients to brain cells," says Michael Roizen, MD, author of YOU-The Owner's Manual: An Insider's Guide to the Body that Will Make You Healthier and Younger. Then what is the solution? Do flossing every day activity started in the morning.


Eating fish:
Look to the sea to provide "feed" your brain to eat. DHA, a type of omega-3 fatty acids that can be found in salmon, trout, and some fortified foods, such as yogurt can improve your memory.

"DHA reducing inflammation and improving arterial repair the protective layer around nerves," he said. Roizen. "As a result, related to age, less decline in memory, reduced Alzheimer's disease, depression, and thoughts more quickly."

40s

Steal Little toys:
There's a new version of the Rubik's Cube you ever loved as a child. Three-dimensional shape such as 360 degrees and this is very good for the brain at each age, they may sharpen the ability to solve problems, says psychologist nerve, Karen Spangenberg Postal, PhD, who is also president of the Massachusetts Psychological Association.

The key: When you play, you work with memory, spatial skills and strategies needed to improve brain health. What if you are frustrated playing Cube? Do not worry: any game that requires you think would be very helpful.

Sempatkan sports:
Paculah your heart rate three times a week for 20 minutes. Even just on foot, will supply your brain with oxygen and help grow new cells.

"Aerobic exercise two to three times as effective as brain exercise activity," said Sam Wang, Ph.D., professor of neuroscience at Princeton University and author of Welcome to Your Brain: Why You Lose Your Car Keys but Never Forget How to Drive and Other Puzzles of Everyday Life.

No matter if you do not have time to go to the gym on weekends.
Recent studies show that moderate to heavy exercise despite
only once a week (eg weekends jogging) can make
You keep 30 percent of your cognitive functions such as your age.

Begin bridge club:
If you're bored with the book club and tired with the party that night, bridge card game faster is recommended by doctors. Combination of strategies and memory on the bridge to challenge the brain to learn new information and training so that the cells do not die, said Dr. Postal. Socializing and playing cards also provide refreshment for the brain, which can not be offered on the game solo.

Age up 50an

Use chopsticks
Research shows that by involving nerve cells at the tip of the finger directly stimulate your brain, "said Maoshing Ni, PhD, author of Second Spring: Dr. Mao's Hundreds of Natural Secrets for Women to Revitalize and Regenerate at Any Age.

Wearing chopsticks, knitting, or playing with a pen or pencil between your fingers, can help the brain by improving blood circulation.

Video games
You do not need to feel too old to play the Wii or other games that train the brain. "When there is something new in the video game, you'll stimulate different parts of the brain that normally do not you use from day to day," says Reon Baird, PhD, a psychologist nerve from Long Beach Memorial Medical Center.

Be careful with drugs
Be careful using sleeping pills or pain relievers. Research in the Clinical Interventions in Aging shows drugs without a prescription can cause "cognitive impairment" as confusion in middle-aged people. Drugs known as diphenhydramine (found in many allergy medications and pain relievers at night) has the effect of "anticholinergic", which block the relations between nerve cells.
