There's a article in the latest Grazia Australian edition called 'Brain Training', I don't have a scanner and it's not on their site...so I'll have to break it down for you
Step 1
Make lists
You know like that game you play when your a kid and you try to remember everything on the list? It helps form new brain cells and 'Studies show that by the time you've played that game for the equivalent of 1 hour, 20 times more of your brain will be acting 10 years younger than before' of playing
Step 2
Do Something Creative
Paint, write, redecorate your house. It uses a part of our brain we don't always use in our day to day lives (but I'm guessing that depends on what you do for a living!)
Step 3
Workout
Regular exercise can reduce the risk of Alzheimer's
Step 4
Eat More Curry
"India has the lowest rate of Alzheimer's in the world and scientists are pointing the finger at turmeric as the reason why. Turmeric is a more powerful anti-oxidant than vitamin E and has a greater anti-inflammatory effect then ibuprofen"
"Turmeric also has the ability to break down the plaques that form in the brain causing its decline. If your not a big curry fan eating a turmeric spiced dish once a month can cut your risk of cognitive impairment by 38 percent. Once a week spice eaters reduce risk by 49 percent"
Step 5
Enjoy Chocolate
Is it me, or is chocolate the cure all for everything these days? :rolleyes"
"It's a brain preserver because it increases blood flow to the brain, say experts at Harvard University". Trick is you've got to be consuming the darker sort with 70% cocoa or more.
Step 6
See Your Friends - A Lot
"People with good social lives have a 38% lower chance of developing Alzheimer's in later life. Whenever we do something our brains light up in one or more areas. If you're sitting down reading about something two or four brain areas will light up. But discuss that same subject with a friend and it will light up all over".
Info taken from 'Brain Training' article in Grazia latest edition
Lately I feel like I've been overworking my brain. Everyday starting from evening my brain ceases functioning; it feels like all my brain juice has been drained and I can't engage in activities that require more cerebral energy, such as studying, typing up essay, and even reading (tabloids are okay though because they really don't stimulate the brain.) I'd like to know ways to revitalize and types of food that nourishes the brain.
