They say that it is the nature of man to be forgetful when you reach the senior years. But I refuse to surrender because I know that if my brain is always busy then somehow it will remain normal. Here are some of my brain exercises that I do every day whenever possible.
1. Crossword puzzle. I do the English crossword because it is challenging than the crossword in our language. I have learned many new words and phrases from the daily crossword puzzle of the newspaper that I have been doing since I was 20.
2. Watching an old movie. This is very challenging to me because I have to admit that I could not remember the names of the actors. There was a time that I saw a movie of Clint Eastwood and I recalled his name after a day. Even now that there is the search engine I never check on the movie for the cast. It is my challenge to remember the name without any help.
3. Adding items without the calculator. This is a good exercise when I go shopping. I would list down the prices of the goods that I put on the cart and later on at home I would add the prices by mental calculation only.
What brain exercise do you do aside from the ones mentioned above?
