1: Keep stress in check

Stress is one of the brain’s worst enemies. Over time, if left unchecked, chronic stress destroys brain cells and damages the region of the brain involved in the formation of new memories and the retrieval of old ones.

2: Improve your memory by sleeping on it

When you’re sleep deprived, your brain can’t operate at full capacity. Creativity, problem-solving abilities, and critical thinking skills are compromised. Whether you’re studying, working, or trying to juggle life’s many demands, sleep deprivation is a recipe for disaster.

3: Give your brain a workout

• It’s new.
• It’s challenging.
• It’s fun.

 4: Make time for friends and fun

 5: Healthy relationships

Humans are highly social animals. We’re not meant to thrive, let alone thrive, in isolation. Relationships stimulate our brains—in fact, interacting with others may be the best kind of brain exercise.

6: Laughter is good for your brain

Laughter is the best medicine, and that holds true for the brain as well as the body. Unlike emotional responses, which are limited to specific areas of the brain, laughter involves multiple regions across the whole brain.

7: Stay Sharp with Brain Games

Games help improve memory, attention, concentration, and more.
