Good health habits are a great place to start but here are a few more options you might want to try to sharpen your mind.

1. Improving Memory In Senior Citizens

2. We have all been there: forgetting what we were going to say but
it is right on the tip of our tongue or losing our train of thought in
mid-conversation. This absent-mindedness or brief moment of
memory loss is very common and is actually no real cause for
concern.

3. As we age, these inconvenient occurrences happen more and
more often due to standard aging and memory loss. So how can
you prevent these cognitive mishaps from occurring? Good health
habits are a great place to start but here are a few more options
you might want to try to sharpen your mind.

4. Repetition
Practice makes perfect, right? Well one significant way to help
sharpen your memory is to repeat the information you have just
heard that you want to retain. Whether you write it down, say it
again in your head or re-read it, repetition reinforces the
memory.

5. Continue to learn
Studies show that higher education plays an important role in
brain function. Even if advanced academics are not an option for
you, there are plenty of ways to accelerate your mental capacity.

6. We suggest keeping your brain
active by taking up a new
hobby, reading whenever
possible or participating in an
activity that challenges the
mind. Some colleges offer free
or reduced tuition to senior
citizens. Inquire at a local
University about enrolling in
classes, even if you are just
auditing.

7. Priorities
We don’t need to overuse our brain for every activity we
accomplish during the day. There are plenty of tasks that we can
for-go over thinking such as remembering dates and times of
events. By utilizing planners, automatic alerts from your cell
phone or a whiteboard, you can focus your mental energy on
more important things.
