The brain is the most amazing part of our body and despite all medical research nobody really understands everything about it But just like our bodies it needs to be cared for in ways that can be quite simple Getting a good night’s sleep, eating a balanced diet and taking deep breaths are all important methods of looking after both for your body and your brain
Many people think their brain will slow down with age and their memory will get worse
as a result The truth is, just like your body, you can also improve your mind I’ve found I can improve my memory by imaging 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 imagine a loaf of bread, a carton of milk with a cow on the front and a birthday card with a football on it
The same kind of method can be used with important dates If you have a picture in your mind with of a particular event it’s much easier to remember than just a like number on a calendar
Another way of improving your mind is to make sure you regularly visit new places and have new experiences Personally I find learning Spanish is a great way to keep the brain working, but communication in any language is important Having a conversation is so much better for your brain than staring at a computer screen or at other people talking on TV
