It is important to stay proactive and start prevention against cognitive disorders. Even by middle age, you can start preventing these diseases and disorders by exercising your brain, as well as your body. The secret to this is by staying active. Give your brain a workout by reading a new book, solving puzzles in the back of magazines or newspapers, going to classes to learn about a subject you are interested in, go to art classes to learn how to draw and paint. Keep stimulating your brain with problem solving, and higher thought processing. Doing this will help your brain stay active and can improve its functioning.
Exercising is a great way to continue making neural connections, and keeping your body and brain healthy. Keeping your brain healthy by stimulating these neural connections will help prevent further memory decline as you age. Feeling in control with your body will also prevent anxiety and depression and makes you proactive in the prevention of decline.
