Memory Loss is very common during old age. About 10-20% of
the population over 70 have some type of cognitive impairment. Memory loss can’t
necessarily be prevented but it is important to keep your brain active and
healthy to help lower your risk of memory loss.
Some activities that increase mental stimulation and can help
to boost your memory are: *Learning
something new. I do not believe in the phrase “you can’t teach an old dog
new tricks.” We all have the ability to learn a new skill, or research a new
and interesting topic. *Music. In my
own experience, music has proven to be almost magical in terms of brain
functioning. My grandmother who had advanced-staged Alzheimer’s could still
remember the tune and words to “You are my Sunshine” even after she had lost
the ability to form complete sentences. It opens up a whole new part of your brain
that is not always in use and can be a great way to exercise your brain! *Exercise. This increases blood flow to
your brain and helps keep your body working the way it should be. *Socialization. It is never good to be
isolated, being in a social environment can drastically improve your mood and
quality of life.
