10-step memory workout for seniors



1. Exercise regularly
2. Stick to a healthy diet: Avoid sugar and saturated fat. And eat lots of antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables such as blueberries, spinach, and beets.
3. Learn new things: Mastering activities you've never done before stimulates neuron activity.
4. Get enough sleep
5. Devise memory strategies: Make notes or underline key passages to help you remember what you've read.
6. Socialize
7. Get organized: Designate a place for important items such as keys and checkbooks. Keep checklists for things such as daily medications or items to pack when you travel.
8. Turn off the tube: Experts say too much TV watching weakens brain power.
9. Jot down new information
10. Solve brainteasers: Crossword puzzles, card games, and board games such as Scrabble improve your memory.
