My sister is always saying she can’t think of two things at once. I wish I could only think of two things at once.
Our brains, our brains!
Dr Wes Ashford, creator of the memory screening test, MemTrax, has 10 tips for keeping the old noggin sharp.
Take an interesting class. Do crosswords or Sudoku. And I would add—fight for your economic life.
Exercise, aerobics and strength training.
Keep making friends.
Eat your veggies. Get your Vit D levels checked, some people are low on it.
Watch your weight! Of course, why didn’t we think of that?
Wear seat belts, a bike helmet (if biking). Improve balance by brushing teeth standing on one foot.
Monitor your thyroid. Tell the doctor about muscle pains.
Watch your blood pressure. Ask your doctor about statins—and I might add, look them up yourself.
Try to get good sleep. Check to see if you have sleep apnea if you keep waking up.
Screen your memory every so often. What would be good for that—why MemTrex! www.memtrex.com.
Naturally.

Am I dim? How does your weight affect your mental acuity? I'm really big, but I'm still sharp as a tack, thank you very much. I have yet to find a "ten steps to improving ......" anything that doesn't say "lose weight". Ten steps to better car maintenance -- lose weight! Ten steps to building your vocabulary -- lose weight! Ten steps to formatting your hard drive -- lose weight!
You're right--no matter what the condition, losing 50 lbs is the answer! Fat people are smarter, even--we know a zillion things that don't work...LOL. And we can retain these things despite the adipose pressing on our blood flow.
