The brain is the most amazing part of our bodies. But just like our bodies, it needs care. Getting a good night’s sleep, eating a balanced diet and taking deep breaths are all important ways of looking after both your body and your brain.
Many people think their brain will slow down with age and their memory will get worse. The truth is, just like your body, you can also improve your brain, I’ve found I can improve my memory by picturing what I need to remember. For example, if I’m going shopping and I need bread, milk and a birthday card for my brother, I picture a loaf of bread, a bottle of milk with a cow in the front and a birthday card with a foot-ball on it.
The same kind of thing can be used with important dates. If you have a picture in your mind of a special event it’s much earsier to remem-ber than just a number.
Another way of improving your mind is to make sure you often visit new places and have new experiences. I find learning Spanish is a great way to keep the brain working, but communication in any language is important.
