Keeping mental awareness into old age isn’t as hard as you may think

Do you exercise your brain?

Exercise is no longer just for the body, nor just for the young. You can maintain your mental sharpness long into your senior years.

The Mayo Clinic's article on "How to keep your mind sharp: Preventative action" lays out the fundamentals for living independently and mentally alert longer.

Challenge yourself mentally and make it fun. Learn something new and keep yourself sharp.

Don't be afraid to try new things. Who knows, maybe it's time to learn French, a musical instrument, or play with crossword puzzles.

Just have fun.
