Any type of movement is acceptable, as long as there is a moderate to strong activity, like brisk walking, yoga, cycling or gardening, and you do it for 30 minutes every day. Write down two or three types of exercises you want to try and practice, the time you plan each day. 5th Exercise your brain – stay mentally active to generate new brain cells and connections (even in the aged brain). To try new things: “Mind Games” to play crossword puzzles or number, take a class, go to a game, read books and articles have a tough new hobby.
