Stimulate The Brain For Better Memory

   Posted by: jude   in Senior Health

I try to exercise my brain and keep it active and stimulated so I can improve my memory. I know that eating Omega3 fatty acids like flax/hemp seeds and fish will give the brain a boost of energy and plenty of fruits and vegetables especially blueberries provide antioxidants that rid the body of toxins. Processed foods should be avoided as much as possible and limit intake of caffeine and liquor, sugary drinks should be replaced with green tea and water, exercise and plenty of rest also keeps the brain in good working order.

I know all these things, but some I don’t follow like I should especially now that I’m older. Many need to take supplements because when our body lacks essential vitamins and nutrients it’s harder to stay focused. It also affects our mood and the actions we take throughout the day. When we eat the right foods our mind will also be healthier and you can concentrate better with less stress. You should never skip breakfast, it doesn’t have to be a huge heavy breakfast which would make the brain and body sluggish just something light will do.

The older I get the more I simply want to take a nap right after I eat and that’s not good. I’ve been trying to find other ways to stimulate my mind because it’s frustrating when I can remember what happened 30 years ago as opposed to something just last year. That’s why I started blogging because writing helps to stimulate the brain because it’s a good way to clear your mind and put things into perspective, it’s also therapeutic and helps reduce stress. Today I got more concerned about my memory and decided I better take further actions to make sure I start writing every transaction in a ledger that I get involved with online.

I decided I must be losing my mind and memory because today I received an e-mail for a program I must have bought a year or so ago and it was set for auto renewal. I must have given the information because it was deducted from my checking account. Of course I sent an e-mail to cancel and request a refund because I honestly don’t even remember using the program, now that’s bad. If I ever purchase anything else online I need to make sure I have it set for manual renewal and not auto renewal and keep a record.

I have also recently set all my domain names to manual renewal because I had forgotten that they were also set for auto renewal and I had planned on letting them just expire, but payment for them also went through and I was thinking what if I hadn’t had the money in the bank at that time. Hopefully I haven’t purchased any other programs that I may have forgotten about that will auto renew because my money supply is definitely getting low and I’d hate to pay bank charges apparently I’m not as organized as I thought I was.

Neurobics is something I’ve been looking into, if your not familiar with the term just do a Google search.

I know what you mean here. Life can be such a hassle sometimes with all the stuff we have to keep track of. Just this week we got a $14.95 charge on our phone bill from findyourdiet.com that just showed up out of the blue and neither my husband nor I signed up for anything from that. I called the phone company and sent an email to them through findyourdiet.com. Have no idea what this is about and am sick of paying for stuff we don’t need, want or use.
