Fighting brain age - expert offers 10 brain fitness new year's resolutions!

- Mon, 7 Jan 2008


Keeping your brain healthy should be a key New Year's Resolution for all of us. If you're up for the challenge, then Alvaro Fernandez, a leading authority on brain research, says, "There are three things we can strive for: novelty, variety and challenge."

Based on these three things, Fernandez has come up with a list of 10 ways to keep your mind in peak condition in 2008. For the full report in the Huffington Post, click here.  Among his resolutions:

* Learn about the brain. The Dana Organization for brain research has a good list of recommended reading on their website. To see it click here.

* Go out of your way to make whatever job you have more stimulating - and make a point of meeting and engaging in conversation with new people.

* Encourage yourself to think critically.  Instead of accepting everything at face value, ask yourself 'where is the evidence' at least once a day. The more you practice it, the more you stimulate the brain and refine your judgement.

* Try a computer-based brain training program - Alvaro recommends one that has been designed by a neuropsychologist - a scientist who understands brain cognition, brain structure and function.
