The Brain’s Remarkable Plasticity
Mr. Alvarez, 76, always assumed memory loss was an unavoidable part of aging. But after he started playing chess with his grandson and learning basic Spanish, he noticed his mental sharpness improving. His doctor explained that the brain continues forming new connections—at any age.
Springtime Brain Boosters
1. Learn Something New – Try a new hobby like painting, knitting, or learning an instrument.
2. Stay Active – Exercise increases blood flow to the brain, enhancing cognitive function.
3. Engage Socially – Loneliness can accelerate cognitive decline. Join a book club or senior group.
4. Practice Mindfulness – Deep breathing and meditation reduce stress and improve focus.
5. Challenge Your Mind – Puzzles, word games, or even memorizing poetry can stimulate neural pathways.
