A full life passes through maintaining a well-trained body that meets the conditions of strength, minimum resistance and flexibility that ensure a good quality of life. But as the years go by and in the same way that physical faculties are lost, our cognitive capacity is deteriorating for a reason as simple and simple as the lack of mental exercise. In the same way that we must maintain the activity of the body to stay in shape, we have to do the same with the mind.
In any case, and in addition to physical activity, there are a series of guidelines that help us keep the brain in full during our daily routine:
- Lto continuous physical activity helps improve our neural system. The brain behaves exactly like any other part or organ of our body., if you don't exercise, deteriorates and atrophies, and, logically the opposite, if it is stimulated, it develops and remains active.
- A varied diet rich in carbohydrates, fruits, legumes and vegetables it is healthy not only from a cardiovascular point of view, but it reduces the risk of dementia. This eminently Mediterranean diet provides the energy that the brain needs to develop and stay active. Make sure your diet includes these foods if you want your brain not to miss them and begin to lose power due to lack of fuel to perform these functions.
- In the same way that muscles adapt to exercise and do not grow because they have become accustomed to it; it is necessary to change the routines that keep our muscles in tension to grow. in addition, the brain needs new stimuli every day to stay active. Try to read an hour every day, if possible about a topic you are curious about but don't know much about. That curiosity will help you learn something new and keep your brain active..
- That common place that ensures that women can do several things at the same time, while men are only able to fix their attention on one thing, it seems that it has its positive and negative sides. To be More productive, creative and mentally effective try to focus on one thing at a time. It will stimulate your brain much more.
And you, what is your daily routine??
