We all Want to Grow Old Gracefully....But How?

There are many proven facts out there that help a person to grow old gracefully. (Whatever “gracefully” real means!).  Of course exercise and eating right will help to keep you fit, healthy and energized but you also need to workout your brain to keep you mind active to fight off memory loss illnesses.  Its as easy as playing a board game, recall exercises or even jotting down  your day in a diary.  You can also encourage better memory taking a supplement such as Ginkgo.

Another way to improve your “brain health” can be done with changing up your exercise technique.  This will help with the weaker side of your brain that we all have.  Start your exercises or repetitions using the opposite foot, hand, arm, etc. than what you would normally use to start.  For instance, when I normally do walking lunges, I start with my right foot.  Change it up and start with the left foot.  You really have to put some mental effort into using the opposite limb!
