6 Steps to Healthy Aging

- Mon, 3 Sep 2007

Live a healthier, happier, longer and more productive life by following these basic tips, developed by Professor Larry M. Lynch, a South American author and education specialist.

1. Keep physically active. Walk, jog, take up a sport whether golf, tennis, swimming, or joining a gym - anything that involves doing something for your muscles. This aerobic exercise doesn't only keep your body fit but is now scientifically proven to boost the production of memory cells in the brain and reduce the risk of developing short term memory loss and Alzheimer's disease.

2. Reduce stress. Take time to enjoy life more. Stress is proven to be harmful to health and can even be a killer. Being physically active can ease stress as can modifying your diet to cut down on stimulants like caffeine-rich soft drinks, tea and coffee.

3. Improve your general health. Ensure you get a regular medical check-up and minimise unhealthy habits - quit smoking, avoid recreational drugs and drink alcohol in moderation (no more than 3 units a day).

4. Eat brain-boosting foods. Brain fog can be caused by the foods we eat. Healthy fats like Omega-3,  found in oily fish, olive oil and walnuts slow down the onset of memory loss and keeps the brain alert. Reduce refined sugars, found in bread, cakes and sweets,  which create energy spikes and slumps.

5. Stay mentally active. Doing brain teasers and a variety of different games and puzzles is proven to keep your brain healthy and prevent dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

6. Grow mentally and learn a new skill. Whether it's a new hobby or learning a language, mastering a new skill   can stimulate the health and well-being of your brain and improve your memory .
