This might come as a surprise to you, but there are actually certain things you could do to get smarter. We can tune up our brain by engaging in social activities, being more being more physically active and challenging ourselves mentally.
Studies have shown that the fitter you are, the healthier your brain becomes. Just 30 minutes of aerobic exercise 5 times a week can keep your brain sharp because physical exercises not only give you a healthy heart but can also increase the size of your hippocampus (a part of the brain crucial to making memories). Likewise staying socially active can sharpen your thinking capacity especially when you’re growing older. Finally, the food we consume that will save your heart can also save the brain.
Here are 3 major tips can that can help you develop a healthy brain even as you advance in age:
Be Physically Active
Exercise is when you plan and repeat an activity such as cardio or weight training frequently. Activities that get your body moving like walking, gardening or housework all count when it comes to boosting your brain’s health.
Almost every year, scientist have realized that being physically active is like drinking a Lucozade booster for your brain. When you exercise, blood immediately rushes around your body, including your brain. Your brain takes advantage of this added nutrients and refreshes itself, building new neurons and connections.
Be Socially Active
Getting involved in more social activities can be rewarding in itself. Just ten minutes of social interaction can greatly increase your brain performance. And it might surprise you to hear that this kind of simple social interaction with other people can deliver greater benefits than more widely practiced brain workouts like playing chess or solving difficult crossword puzzles
Interacting with other people gives great nourishment in terms of brain health. We humans are highly social species, joining a science club, a community service, a choir or a sports team are all ways of escaping isolation if you find it difficult to raise your share of social interaction. Or you could just have a regular meeting with your friend to kick things off. Social interaction is like a penetrating fertilizer to your brain. It braces your brain cell to new connections and builds those already formed.
Challenge Your Brain
The secret ingredient to staying young in mind is mental stimulation. This involves you challenging your brain, getting it to jump those mental hurdles it might shy away from. If, for example, you like to play easy puzzles or the simple crossword, move over to the difficulty levels and get your brain to sweat a little. Exhausting your brain in this way will improve your mental sharpness and it might fly off some of the negative effects that aging has on the brains, helping you stay brain fit as you age.
Conclusion
This tip will definitely help you improve your thinking capacity and helps to create an amazing atmosphere around you as an advance in age. Developing a healthy brain is vital because it gives us a platform for better ideas in life.
