Increase Mental Clarity & Concentration – Keeps the Mind Alert
Here are a few tips that help seniors in New Jersey maintain a sharp brain:
• Play pool/billiards – engaging in an activity of this type requires you to plan and create a strategy. It also requires you to ignore environmental distractions, and incorporates aspects of physics and geometry, though it’s use of angles and shapes.
• Play chess or cards – you’ll be required to use your memory for recall, and also benefit from the social aspects of playing with a friend
• Sign up for an informative newsletter – as long as the topic has some element of education, for example “world of the dayâ€, “quote of the day†or “this day in history†there are benefits to the mind. The mental stimulation increases your comprehension skills and adds to your knowledge
• Learn something new – take a class, learn to cook or register for a new activity. Your mind benefits from the retention skills and memorization that are involved
• Speak a foreign language – learning a new language and engaging in conversation, watching TV, or reading that requires your new skill keeps your brain flexible
