Brain-Boosting Tips
Our memory can fail us at times, and we forget things. For example, we may misplace our wallets, forget names, birthdays, and even anniversaries! While we may dismiss this as simple forgetfulness, when our senior loved ones do so, we are concerned that they may be exhibiting symptoms of cognitive decline. They are, fortunately, most likely indications of non-medical memory loss. There are techniques to keep your mind occupied and vigorous, even if you exhibit non-medical symptoms of memory loss.
Comfort Keepers home care services team has created a list of brain-stimulating activities for your elderly loved one:
- Walking, for example, helps your brain produce BDNF, a protein that improves your mental and memory capacities.
- Socializing with family, friends, and neighbors helps to decrease melancholy and stress, which can lead to better memory.
- Sleep allows your brain to restore and consolidate memories so that you can recall them later.
- Stimulate the brain by playing board games, reading, doing puzzles, playing memory games, and other hobbies.
