The Fountain of Youth to Living a Happy and Healthy Life Past 80

17. Just like leg day, you should have days where you work on your memory, especially as you grow older.

You must concentrate on particular components of your brain while working on them. In the same way, you need a "leg day," and you also need a "memory day." As we age, our memory begins to decline, and this can occasionally be rather problematic. You should incorporate this memory training into your daily routine to keep your memory as healthy as possible. How can you help? Give yourself the task of not writing a shopping list and keeping this in mind for your subsequent trip to the store.

Check the list you created before leaving to see how many of the items you remembered when you returned home. That is a simple approach to exercising your memory and putting it to the test. What more exercises can you perform to improve your memory? Try using the opposite hand from your normal one to open the door. On the way to locations you frequently visit, you can also experiment with new routes. This will exercise your brain, teach you something new, and help your memory.
