Here's a few tips on how to keep your brain sharp into your 80's and beyond...

#1. Exercise - Surprise, surprise! A recent study published in a Neurology journal found that people who exercise or get active at least once a week have a longer lasting memory.

#2. Be Friendly - If you live with someone, or do volunteer work, you improve your memory by almost 25%! Presumably because you keep the mind stimulated, by meeting and speaking to other people.

#3. Do Puzzles - Those newspaper puzzles like Sudoku and crosswords improve your memory, brain speed and vocabulary too! Plus they're fun and a great way to pass time productively if you commute to work by public transport.

Your brain is very much like your body, if you look after it, you'll receive years of healthy, happy living. Start today!
