The Senior Brain: Use It or Lose It!

I received the following email from Wings Of Success publishers.
I found it enlighting and thought provoking. I thought you might
also enjoy the information.

Wings Of Success publishers offers several good books for
the over 50 crowd. You will find them listed on the side panel
to the right.

Your brain is one of the most important things for you to take into
consideration in any health regimen. For the Baby Boomer, it is
even more vitally important to care for your brain.

Today, the number of Alzheimer's patients is quickly on the rise.
There are numerous situations in which people are forced to realize
that the years are slipping by and they no longer can keep a grasp
on time.

There are a number of things you can do, actually, each of them
offering their own benefit. Here are some.

Learning is one of the very best things you can do to your brain.
As you age, many stop doing new things and looking for new areas of
the world to explore. That is what starts the shut down of the
brain. Because you aren't using it as much, especially for new
things, you aren't making it function as much as it needs to.

When you keep your brain functioning, you encourage it to continue
to be active. On the other hand, if you don't, you lose the
necessary functions that you need.

Some ideas here include taking a new class, learning to do
something that you enjoy such as a new hobby, and even learning
history. You can take courses at your local community college or
start a discussion group about the books that you are reading.
Learn to plan a new instrument. Learn to cook like a professional.

Keeping your brain active is very important to your overall well
being. Without taking in these considerations, you put your brain
at risk for becoming ill and functioning less optimally. As you
can see, though, this is one of the most prosperous and easy parts
of the Baby Boomer's lifestyle that can be changed for the better!
